He should have been hammered, not allowed to resign.

I can think of multiple charges that would apply. Further, I think he is a continuing menace to others, and certainly needs professional therapy.

If he is fired, and he certainly needs to be, does anyone think he will shrug this off with an “Oh well, my bad.” He sounds very much like the retaliatory type, and I am afraid to think what he might do.

I doubt he wrote a word of the apology, and he certainly does not sound the least bit sorry for doing what he did. He does, once again, sound sorry that he got caught.

And “scornful attention” is a real prize winner.

Which is awful, but there you have it. No longer surprised by that type of person being in law enforcement, AND not at all surprised at the insincerity and ridiculousness of an “apology” that someone else made him write. He’s not sorry for anything but being outed personally and losing a paycheck. Why bother?

*she said, cynically*
