GA FReeper ping to an interesting story. I have been really learning lately that if you’re in a smaller city (say 75,000 or less), you really need to pay attention and keep tabs on your local government, and you can make a difference if you do.
Worth emphasizing:
Mayor Jim Sells - “Chief Jordan has my full support. He has the support of his staff and the community because of the job he is doing. At the next council meeting, with the full council present, I will ask to have his lost pay restored.”
This was some loose-cannon council members who got a temporary quorum and voted for this nonsense.
Was the Chief in uniform, allowing pics to be taken? Then he was wrong.
Was he in civilian clothes? Then he is in the right.
