Proper training means the people are trained before the commencement ceremony. The commencement ceremony is no place to do things like that. I can guarantee you none of those officers would spit on her if her hair was on fire. One day, she'll need them. Running a department is like tap dancing on a basketball. You need loyalty from your people.

Chewing outs should happen in private. You chew cadets out in front of other cadets to make a point, but after they've made it through the class, you never chew an officer out in front of another officer. You bring them in, and talk to them privately.

I just completed a training academy. At graduation, I tied two of my cadet's ties for them. Those are my people. I'd never belittle or embarass them in front of their family members. Mothers, fathers, wives, husbands and children waiting for a swearing in ceremony get treated to this garbage. It's not right.

Good for you and thank you for your service.

As an outsider I wasn't familiar with this woman's history. It's interesting how the MSM breaks these stories nationally and they don't bother with the background the locals and those in the same field know. You'd almost think they did it on purpose. ;)

(From the story):

"The 25 students are former officers who were laid off and then recalled. They went through a two week training session and will continue to train until Chief Bully-Cummings is satisfied.
