Sweet. Now we get to use our taxpayer-funded city resources to try and keep a piece of shit human away from undeserved authority. The motherfucker has a history of abuse and a career that culminated in sniping someone who was surrendering in full compliance with given instructions, and the police union couldn't be more eager to put a gun back in his hands.
The general purpose of politicians is to step in to the breech when there is a variance between rule or law and a general sense of justice or rightness. This is what Sam has done.
So the argument goes like this.
Arbitrator: according to the union contract (rule or law), Frashour did no wrong.
Adams: according to the general sense of justice, Frashour did wrong.
Adams wins hearts and minds & sails out of office, the PPA legal defense fund will be depleted, and someone of merit needs to mind the details in the next police union contract negotiations. I suggest Novick.
Way to fucking go.
THEY ROCK! UNIONS MAY BE FUCKED BUT THE POLICE UNIONS RULE!
