[@TheREALOC1972]

Nah, if it was a "cover-up" then the Major who's husband was being investigated would have just slept with the investigating in order to cover up the harassment. She is in a "Open Marriage" which means she already has sex with different men, what's one more to get her husband off the hook? She offered to bang his brains out, he said no so she claimed her sexually harassed her........ There's ZERO cover-up there.

[@srivkind12]

The union. The second anyone even hints at firing an officer the union will step in and stop or stall the action. FOP will fund the lawyers the police retain to keep them on the job.

[@Desantisgogoboots]

Exactly!! It's difficult to determine who is telling the truth in this love triangle. But I would imagine text messages were shown on Carby's end to her attorney to back up the Lauders retaliation. And for all we know Lauder then retaliated against Kuriger for investigating and the chief didn't do her due diligence in digging deeper to get to the bottom of it all. But ALL of these officers should be reprimanded for internal fraternization. What a mess these people are. They're all screwing each other, gross!!

[@chappy24]

@@Desantisgogoboots thats where the problem exists. If it was just amongst friends no work relationship probably not a big deal. But since he is a chief, it opens her up to A) feel pressured to do it B) Fear Retaliation / Career Demotion or lack of advancement if she didnt do it as well. I dunno about Lauder but honestly it doesnt seem terrible. I would have had to see it to understand. Obviously though the party was an invittion to get into your bikini while alcohol is served in a romantic / sexual environment. Theres a lack of details of what occured but the chief was in the wrong because of his position.

I am of the opinion, that if some Police Officers don't have integrity and/or morals in their personal lives, then they are "more likely than not" going to have any on duty, and this type of behavior is a sign of that. I am also of the opinion, that Police Officers who live in glass houses, should not be throwing stones...at civilians and judging them, in a sense, to be able to enforce the laws, when some Police Officers are just a stone's throw away in their lives from having their glass houses shattered...like is happening now. Why would a Police Officer have any respect for any civilians they encounter, while doing their duty, when they don't even have any respect for themselves or for their coworkers? Rhetorical!

Two things that enable this.

I lived in the small town of South Hutchinson Kansas 50 years ago. We had a city cop there that would take the beer away from minors. Then sit somewhere drinking the beer on duty. He would go behind the salvage yard and take parts off cars. I took my dog for a walk one night and seen him doing it. Then he busted my brother walking home from hunting. Took him to jail at the county lock-up. Took us 3 days to find out where he was being held. Mom finally got a lawyer and threatened the police for holding him. Then the next day country detectives came over and got us. Thats when the conversation started about the South Hutchinson cop started and i was telling mom about him and what he was doing. Thats when they started investigating him. They even got him for receiving stolen property

You are kidding me lack FOUR YEARS to investigate a personnel complaint. Most states have a one year maximum unless a criminal case is going forward. In that case, the investigation continues, but ONLY the statute date is extended. The officer is often fired prior to completion of the criminal case.
