Theres a very interesting aspect of this article that I further explored. As noted, the guy making the demand and threatening the Rams with a boycott, is a former police officer who was FIRED for numerous instances of falsifying reports and other violations of the police departments code of conduct. He took the firing decision all the way to the Appellate Court and lost - as he should have. The guy is quite obviously a bully and a bigot. If you like reading legal documents as I do, this is an interesting one. Excerpt: In July 1997, Roorda attempted to try to cover for another police officer by filing a report that contained false statements as to what happened during a suspects apprehension and arrest. As a result of this false report, all charges against the defendant involved were dropped, and Roorda received a written reprimand from B.J. Nelson (the Citys Chief of Police at the time) for violating the City Police Departments General Order 74.4 (False Reporting).4 The written reprimand issued to Roorda stated, in relevant part: If it is ever determined again that you have lied in a police report, you will receive a more severe punishment, up to and including termination. (then after this he got into it with the Chief of Police and illegally tape recorded the Chief and several other police dept. managers - which led to his firing) Appellate Courts final order: caselaw.findlaw/mo-court-of-appeals/1333908.html •S•
