If the City is going to challenge her career, it doesn't also have the right to force her to accept Wal-mart level representation.
This is about a Chief of Police who is out to get a female who has theWM: I'm not entirely sure about this. The situation with Officer Ngo was screwed up beyond belief. I think that case was on Lucy's plate. He also didn't challenge Lubinski, who was also in the running for the big bear's chair.
guts to think that she is qualified to be Chief of Police in the City of
Minneapolis.
WM: First, ask whether Ohio required him to be a sworn officer or not before it means anything pro or con about this chief. I don't know the answer to this either.A Chief of Police who it has been reported didn't even bother to become a licensed police officer in the state of his former employment.
WM: His paper qualifications were very impressive, his experience appeared to be greater than either Lubinski or Gerold could match. But paper is cheap and he could embroider some which neither Lubinski or Gerold could, since they were already here.A Chief that was hired over more than one well qualified internal candidate. Perhaps he doesn't like the idea of being challenged by such well qualified individuals? Especially if they are female? Why isn't it that Lucy Gerold should get the best representation possible? Had she not prevailed she would not only been out of a job, she wouldn't have ever gotten a police job anywhere in the country.
WM: She was the one with the highest management position. Comparatively, the other two were small potatoes. Also, we don't have a full context on the chief's remark that he would "take her out." I've been very questioning about just who wanted to knock Lucy out of the picture and for what reason ever since that remark was reported.Gerold is also the only one of the 3 who were investigated where the Chief was reported to say that he would "take her out." It was a targeted attack. The City (or the Police Chief) should pay the bill.
