    I noticed another comment that mentioned he had been working for a few departments over the years, so probably he just did too much finally. Mean don’t get me wrong I’m happy an officer is being charged for crimes committed but I’m guessing there’re reasons he has a longer work history and probably shouldn’t have been hired multiple times in the past. Again this was off a comment so maybe the information isn’t accurate but when it’s so easy to believe is a pretty bad situation of police officers in general.

      He had been hired by Sangamon county despite two charges of driving under the influence, the Springfield State Journal-Register reported, and had worked for other law enforcement agencies in Illinois for seven years before arriving in Springfield.

        I’d like to know which departments he worked at before.

      thanks for sharing, to my skeptical ass that makes way more sense, ie bosses knew what they need to do for CYA, no union gonna do shit about it.

      I guess it is still a small win, but a big L, this woman is dead. That is not good enough!
