DC snafus
Pretty amazing, even by DC standards. The city winds up reinstating over a dozen officers fired for misconduct ... because it keeps missing a self-imposed deadline for making the decision. Apparently admin. judges have been ruling, for twenty years, that the deadline is binding, but the administrators keep ignoring it. Even for DC's staggeringly incompetent government, this is impressive!

Let me get this straight...for conduct, which in many cases should have led to criminal prosecution, the Police don't even get rid of these officers and the reason they don't is that the bureaucracy is, in generous terms, inept. Oh well, I guess there is nothing to do here since Chief Lanier has such good intentions.
It doesn't surprise me as I've seen off duty (or on, who can tell) DC police running personal errands outside of DC, and breaking the local laws while they were at it.
I would think this is deliberate.
This makes me respect Law Enforcement Officers more and boosts confidence in government over all. This has never happened anywhere else? Thanks, DC !
...Unless it's deliberate, and those officers fired for misconduct are under the protection of the administrators who have to go through the motions, and when asked can point at the judge and say, "see, we tried to fire them...."
