That's just plain stupid. What moron would promote a guy, who, in some manner, possibly indirectly, ordered the death of some random guy.

Even worse, they're still not sure if the promoted guy is innocent! :mad:

Perhaps that they want her off the firearms squad, away from the public eye, and put into a nice desk job where she can't do any more harm? :p

Post by: Sarafan on September 13, 2006, 11:16:13 am: Of course her career could've been really good, but she is still going to be jugded for the shooting, they didnt even wait till that was over.

(or do they have guns as a norm now... :nervous:)
