Scapegoat #1
- O’Hare Airport security chief Jeffrey Redding was fired Thursday from his $118,020-a-year job for failing to fully disclose the sexual harassment allegations that prompted the Illinois Tollway to get rid of him.
Redding has been on the hot seat ever since three of his aviation police officers boarded a United Airlines jet on April 9 and dragged a bloodied and flailing Dr. David Dao down the aisle for failing to give up his seat for a United crew member.
The incident is the subject of dual investigations by Aviation Commissioner Ginger Evans and Inspector General Joe Ferguson.
But Redding’s firing has nothing to do with the viral video that has damaged Chicago’s reputation as an international tourist destination.
You know what else "damaged" Chicago's reputation? 1,000 people shot in under 120 days.
The viral video also seems to have nothing to do with someone (anyone!) in the media actually looking into city hiring practices, whereby clouted problem children are shunted from one taxpayer-funded job to another when they do something stupid to bring heat down on the Machine and themselves. We still don't believe for a second the story being spread in our comment sections about this guy leaving IAD on his own, especially in light of the corruption we've been pointing out there for years, up to and including the testing scandal.
This guy is shit-canned after a seven day investigation? Odds are there's something else in the background that Rahm doesn't want exposed, and Redding being front and center only increases the odds of it leaking.
He'll land another government job before Christmas.

What was the cause of death of Simon the 50 pound giant rabbit?
You known what else is damaging Chicago's reputation?
Alderman Arena trying to ghettoize the NW side.
It's on Rahm.
Stop it now, or every last one of Arena's
Knukkledraggers will vote for anyone but Rahm.
We can hate just like you.
And btw, not a cop.
Redding will find work in Springfield in a couple months where all the other crooks work. He'll blend in rather well.
Hey - live by clout, die by clout.
I don't feel sorry for this guy. He stole a job that someone else - better qualified - could have had.
Not only did he steal one job, when he screwed up, he was "rewarded" by his clout with another six-figure job.
That's what's fucked up in Illinois.
Incompetence gets rewarded -if it is clouted,
Mediocre people get hired (but never promoted), and
Really good people may get hired - but never promoted and eventually leave out of frustration or turn into "do-nothings" just to get through to a pension - if they last that long.
Jeff is the kind of guy who fails upwards.
He's been kicked upstairs before.
You're right: he won't be out of work for long.
When they find him his next position, it will be
announced that he's "uniquely qualified."
Rham please just select another guy to be a scape goat--- it seem like Rham loves to scape goat 🐐 minorities under the bus... that one Cps female who was taking bribes-- but it could had been election money for Rham. I don't have time to talk about how many minorities Rham scape goated--- oh her is one more-- the black Irish guy with that 80s porn-stash, what was his name McJohnson or what ever
Now be honest, is the Magic Mile and North Shore really safe for tourists, or is there all sorts of thuggery going on in those locations on a periodic basis?
Mmmmm.... Rahm-hole was neck deep in the JVD video cover up, and that asshole is still in office
"We still don't believe for a second the story being spread in our comment sections about this guy leaving IAD on his own..."
Of course he left on his own. He was told by his juice to leave, and that he'd get another spot...This IS Chicago, you know.
Speaking of scapegoats..... over 1,000 people shot in chicago so far this year including a Cook County judge, gang members committing felonies are getting I-bonds, the jails are emptying out.....yet our State's Attorney thinks it's important to get a law passed having extra reviews on police-involved shootings.....because police are the problem??
Thanks Kimmy for the support.
I am sure he was promised a quiet landing spot already. Maybe the CTA or the Water Department.
and if he does not get the govt.job by Christmas. this slug will likely sue for some imagined discrimination.
The Asian on the plane was a complete goof! The aviation police did the right thing. Just like the coppers in the laquan Mcdonald case the coppers end up getting fucked for doing there job!
Ok media here it is push the "easy" button any not scared media looking into this guy? How many coppers did Jeffrey malign during his illustrious career? How many people at the tollway were threatened? Jeffrey the "chicken is coming home to roost" now media following the bouncing ball where will Jeffrey end up? Who is his clout exposing them would earn rewards! Also look into ginger how did she vet him? Extremely poor hiring practices again! How many more did she hire like this? There is a so called through background check with the Feds and everyone involved what happened? Are the federal authorities looking into this?
One year ed has been superintendent,can someone please tell me why the news media don't have his feet over the fire,damn murders up,shootings up,but wtf. I know he used the "kidney card" but again wtf....
Ten bucks says he lands with the Water Reclamation Police.
Send a email to the lawyer of that wacky asian doctor give him the heads up!
The lawyer will want the employment history of the man in charge which will put the city on the hook for unqualified people pretending to be the police.
unfortunately exempt job positions can be filled with anybody rahm or his minions want to put in.
bozo,special eds,
Why was Mr Redding appointed the Head of Security for 2 major airports? Was he a security specialist or just another Democrat shill?
Well, whether you believe it or not, it's true. He got the offer at the tollway, so he took it. Plain and simple.
Who the hell is this guys CLOUT for Christs sake.....
Maybe CROOK COUNTY ADULT PROBATION DEPT liberal asswipe chief Haywood will hire him. He hired a convicted felon. Who now a supervisor. When this felon was a officer he was running a leads . Yes folk a convicted felon.
You mean "testing scandal(s)"
Well an unk poster has already come on here and said he wasnt bounced from IAD, after 19 years on the job, for living outside the city because he "investigated that kind of stuff" so that should be the end of that. We all know IAD ascends straight to Heaven without an interview, probably with a promotion thrown in with it, so enough of this rumor mongering.
Perhaps a new administration came in and he simply left throwing away a pension and bennies because of it. However he does deserve his own statue in the Police museum for being the only copper who left the job voluntarily with 19 years on. Hell give him credit at least for never mouthing off who his juice is. Most coppers wont shut up about who is sponsoring them.
Look at the CAPS Office in the building. There are a few people there that have been asked to leave other city jobs or be fired. They resigned their posts then were quickly hired by the city in the CAPS office. City that works, is the media looking at this!
Now be honest, is the Magic Mile and North Shore really safe for tourists, or is there all sorts of thuggery going on in those locations on a periodic basis?

It is not safe, period. Prickwinkle and Kimeasha are more worried about the little urchins that will wild on you than your safety and TD 9.5 want your tourist dollars and doesn't care if you go home in a hearse.
1000 shot in 120 days. Why that is less than 10 a day. What's the problem?
Yes the Asian man was a goof. But the Aviation police weren't just doing their job. It wasn't a police matter. Anytime u put hands on someone, there better be a reason for him to go to jail. The man didn't commit a crime. Your not anyone's bouncer, not there, on a domestic, anywhere. Remember that if u want your pension.
Came on ithe job in the 1980s.......was then and is now.....
F.U.M.U.
(For you civilian readers, that's Fuck up, move up)
All one has to do is look at the "upper echelon" to see that it still is in play.....
They should make him Sheriff, and put that Prick Dart on a tier...
This Dr. Drag stuff is a trivial matter and these thing happen just about everyday in the airline industry.
Notice how the Fake and Lazy Media is reporting these incidents every day.
For instance this week, guy gets booted for peeing, lady can't take stroller on board (but they don't elaborate on the goof who stood up and threatened the attendant), gal sues for pervert wanking next to her, giant rabbit kilt for no reason.
The Fake and Lazy Media really likes to stir the pot.
And by highlighting this, it really opens the door for more airline disruption and tantrums from passengers accustomed to getting what they want.
Getting back to Rahm's guy, The Fake Media won't dig into the Ohare politics, that's too hard. They don't rely on insider tips, Rahm & Ginger wouldn't approve stories like that. The doctor drag was settled very very quickly. Two weeks for a huge settlement is mighty quick to believe that it was just United paying out. Did The Worm Rahm send in his negotiating team?
Hey TSA, make him go through the magnetometer and screening next time he flies United. Let's see what's in those bags.
There's no mention if there was any settled lawsuit payouts paid for the sex harassments allegations Redding cost the agencies.
Maybe the scoop is coming after more deflection. But here probably digging into Reddings temporary replacement instead.
Redding could wind up at the new improved Cook Co Homeland Security.
Who's this fuckers clout? That's a simple question, the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree and identification of the clout makes a bunch of sense, but then that's just me.

All of the above is true until you compared the plane incident with L McDonald. Lets just focus on plane, I'm a Chicago Police Officer and its been pounded in my head never get involved in any labor or cililvil issues no matter what your opinion(s) maybe. The plane incident occurred because of an over booking issue. Then to assist some pilots and flight attendants getting to their destinations to work they offer money's for passengers to give up their seats. Sounds like a labor issue to me; then the United people have a procedure for over booking which again is not in the criminal realm but more a labor and cilivil action. That's the big problem with getting involved with something like the United flight being over booked as the Airport Police did, which was not right. Any CPD Sgt. of worth would never have been involved with what happened on that plane period. First, was the passenger a security risk, was he violating a law, was there a criminal law be violated or he attempted to violate; if your answers are no, then WTF are doing on that plane dragging this jagoff around. The bottom line, no United personnel will be disciplined but the officers are in trouble for trying to get free flight tickets or a blow job from a fight attendant. Take your choice female or male. But seriously, if it's not criminal it probably not a police matter.

Dear Aviation Security Officer,
Please stop posting comments like this over and over. It was a civil matter. I also didn't see the Asian guy wielding a knife. Stop comparing an unruly customer with an armed assailant. Also, you ARE NOT POLICE. Attending a police academy and passing the state test does not bestow police powers upon you. Anyone can attend SWIC academy with no sponsor and when they graduate they are not the police until they are hired as such and commissioned with police powers, which none of you are. You're not going to get police on your side by likening yourselves to them. You are not the same. You are gunless security guards. Make your case another way. In the meantime you are insulting police who have had to go through the process of being hired and serving as actual police by saying that you are the same thing. Please don't be that weird security guy who calls us "brother". Get through this scandal and either enjoy continuing to be the best paid least worked security in existence or become real police if you want to. But stop saying you're the same as us. It is alienating you.
...I've said it before, and ill say it again..democrats make me sick...
The rabbit on United was black. Where's (BRM)Blk rabbit's matter group now when you need them. This is another racial mark against United.Oh so I'm black so I ride in the belly of the plane. Where there any police officers on that flight so we can investigate them. Wheres the MSM on this? Keep asking those tough questions like was the rabbit sexual assaulted? Were there any strangulation marks on his neck? Any puncture wounds? Whens the protest start. Jesse can the rabbit population count on you?

True he caused all the chaos and havoc directly, the shooting was justified by how many police bosses? the states attorney also! But then rahm had to hide the video then lie and he always does and hide the video to get elected the bloodshed currently the lawlessness are directly the result of rahm and of course the toni and tommy clown show!
All charges against J'Mal D Green DROPPED!

4/28/2017 12:11:00 AM
two rabbits who work for United wanted his place in the cargo hold. The airport police dragged Simon off of the plane
United Airlines has now settled the lawsuit from Mr. Moto. Seems odd the lawyers for the "Doctor" settled this case so quickly. Fact is new video and testimony proves that the "victim" banged his own face in the arm rest and caused most of his injuries. Don't know how mush this moron got but it has to be in the $millions.
Think what you want SCC, but Redding was not under investigation when he left the job to join the tollway authority. He was not part of a scandal and he wasn't running away. It was just a much better job offer. Plenty of people from exempt on down to his co-workers and close friends tried to talk him out of it. Or at least postpone it for a few months until he hit his 20 years. He was thisclose to completing 20 years and being vested in a pension as well as qualifying for IROCC. He didn't care, he just wanted to move on.
What he may have done afterwards I don't know. Did he harass a subordinate at the tollway? Only the two of them know the real story. But he wasn't dirty, nor he was he under investigation when he left.
"The aviation police did the right thing " ??? AYFKM ????
Untrained thugs, with no idea whatsoever of how to easily control a combative subject. That little twerp could have easily been controlled with a simple wristlock and arm-bar, and they would have had him dancing down the aisle like Michael Jackson. I've watched ALL the videos, and they clearly had absolutely NO idea how to try to handle this guy in the proper manner. This is not a 6'7"/325 lb. Bears linebacker. It's not a guy whacked out on PCP who doesn't feel a brick wall falling on his head. This little guy would have been easy as pie to deal with....if they JUST KNEW HOW. Now, whose fault is that ? The airport, of course. Not theirs. I certainly agree with that. But for you to say they "did the right thing" is just pure Barbara Streisand.
Don't defend incompetents -- doing that just makes us ALL look bad. And, YES, I'm a copper -- not in Chicago, but 24 years of patrol, narcotics, auto theft, saturation units, and many others. I'm not a desk jockey. I still go out there every day, even at my tender age, and wrestle the BG's. So, before you get all uppity about it, I DO know from where I speak - and they simply screwed the pooch in every way imaginable. That, along with their department's utter failure to train, is why that happened.
I repeat. Redding is the idiot that gave the Aviation police more power then they have. He started the unarmed tactical team and instructed them to be more proactive on the airfield. That is why this whole thing happened.
OT: Now be honest, is the Magic Mile and North Shore really safe for tourists, or is there all sorts of thuggery going on in those locations on a periodic basis?
Answer: The downtown area and Mag Mile are ok during the day but once the sun goes down it gets dangerous. The savages are out looking for easy prey. Not sure what you mean by the "North Shore" but if you're talking about Wrigleyville and Lincoln Park I would stay away at night also. Lots of robberies and sexual assaults. And please stay off the CTA trains and buses and take a cab or Uber. There's a dark underbelly to this city that's not talked about in the mainstream news and it's getting worse.

Agreed!
He should have been criminally charged at the time for D/C and Resisting or perhaps with any luck he'll soon be indicted.
I think he is the next in line to take over CPS.
" unarmed tactical team"- you have to be joking, he should have been a triple merit promoted exempt with that kind of thinking.
A vets autopsy concluded the United Airlines giant rabbit died of a fetanyl laced carrot.
Rabbit died of a Hare-o-win OD
Get that man quickly to the Board of Education where he wont be noticed, but will continue to earn his salary. Second choice would be the CTA

Hey even if this guy is a total goof, so what. I'm a CPD Officer who like other Police Officers have been told over and over, "never get involved in any civil matters dealing with a labor issue." The comparison of another goof running up and down the street on south Pulaski, armed with a knife is not even close to what happened to the goof just sitting in his assigned seat on an airplane. Like what was said above, if it's not criminal or heading in that direction, you have to pause and think about what you are going. It's very clear to me, the Airport Police or whatever you want to call them, should have never gotten involved in a non-criminal incident. Their actions should be used in the Police Academy as a training film for years to come and the lesson, do not get involved in civil or labor issues.

Real police don't refer the the bad guys as "BG's". They were a band in the 70's. That so called doctor was a dickhead and people like u now see him as some hero.
I heard that CPD responded to the United call at the same time as DOA. The CPD officer said the job was not police related and left. The DOA officers stayed and got involved. The officers have to scan their ID before entering the jet bridge so there is proof of who was there. DOA never asked for supervision and became involved in a non-criminal event.
Redding has several DOA officers dress in plain clothes to catch airline employees for minor violations. Again without training and no supervision. Redding never had control over his agency. Ginger Evans should be embarrassed for hiring him without a background investigation. Is anyone in charge at the airport? The Chicago way, hire only who you are told to hire.
Watching Dateline NBC. Talking about the Andrew Cunanan case. Love the part that they talk about how the car Cunanan stole from his first murder in Minnesota was parked around the corner from killing Miglin in Chicago had multiple parking tickets on it but no one ever ran it. Funny part they don't know is the ticket writer was made a merit Sgt because of her writing the tickets.
Lionel Hutz gave good advice, but I would add tourist's should stay away from Chicago. It is much too dangerous now including during daylight hours. If you must visit, (but I wouldn't if I were you), be very careful, stay sober and aware of your surroundings while being transported to and fro in a vehicle with a driver you trust. Not a police officer, just a Chicago civilian.

Rahm loves scapegoats.
He uses them to deflect criticism away from him.
The other big clown here is joe Ferguson who has now become the sycophant in charge for Rahm. He does not and refuses to investigate legitimate serious ethical matters because he is neither ethical nor independent. He wants to be reappointed so he will do only what Rahm wants. And what's going on with him and the other Rahm kiss ass Fran spielman?
Redding will find another high paying government job. He's connected to the Obama's.
How about firing Ginger??? I mean she is technically in charge, is she not the commissioner??? How about putting a real police chief in charge, someone with a law enforcement background???
If I had a 6-7, 325 pound athlete with great football skills, he would play tackle in the offensive or defensive line. Too big and slow for a linebacker, even if he was a phenomenal physical freak.

So since it's all done will the coppers get their jobs back ginger? Or are you going to continue bastardizing the police? Jeffrey was in charge and he lied to get hired he is gone, now ginger you the tip of this iceberg have you resigned yet?
Why was Mr Redding appointed the Head of Security for 2 major airports? Was he a security specialist or just another Democrat shill?

he must be part of the black caucus group, BLM, or ald. Austins group.
Hey IG Joe Ferguson, you suck. Go investigate the new streetlight contract. $160 million bucks to put up streetlights that DON'T work. By the same company that took over responsibility for LSD. All out every night from Fullerton to Belmont. Too bad you got that 19th ward SOB Tagger interfering in investigations.
The DOA officers are screwed not for dragging the trespasser off the plane, but for not cuffing and arresting him. A CB number cancels a complaint number. A lack of training and piss poor leadership.

Yep. I know the CPD guy who works that terminal that was in those videos the other day. Good copper, great instincts, solid guy. He'd never be stupid enough to be a jagoff for the airlines. This is something that happens ALL THE TIME with the airlines. Most of all with the Tac guys who end up doing most of the pinches out there. Tac has put these airlines in their place more then a few times, "signed complaints or nothing" and there has to be a crime or the plane could sit on the tarmac forever for all we care.
Most of the guys on AVS are real good guys but they have a little crew who were going to force all of this no matter what, time and again. And their supervision encouraged it, even letting them go plain clothes and get all "Training Day". I'm kind of surprised it took so long for this to happen. To bad cause I'm retiring in a few years and it would have been a good job to have.

"" I heard that CPD responded to the United call at the same time as DOA. The CPD officer said the job was not police related and left. The DOA officers stayed and got involved. The officers have to scan their ID before entering the jet bridge so there is proof of who was there. DOA never asked for supervision and became involved in a non-criminal event.
Redding has several DOA officers dress in plain clothes to catch airline employees for minor violations. Again without training and no supervision. Redding never had control over his agency. Ginger Evans should be embarrassed for hiring him without a background investigation. Is anyone in charge at the airport? The Chicago way, hire only who you are told to hire.

I think they wanted to kill this as quickly as possible so Redding can take a little vacation time, I'm sure he's getting some sort of payout, and they hope a nuclear war over Korea will give cover to sneak him into another sweet gig. Best not to draw this out, someone has to tumble and as long as theres a promise I'm sure he had no problem with doing it.

OT: Now be honest, is the Magic Mile and North Shore really safe for tourists, or is there all sorts of thuggery going on in those locations on a periodic basis?
Answer: The downtown area and Mag Mile are ok during the day but once the sun goes down it gets dangerous. The savages are out looking for easy prey. Not sure what you mean by the "North Shore" but if you're talking about Wrigleyville and Lincoln Park I would stay away at night also. Lots of robberies and sexual assaults. And please stay off the CTA trains and buses and take a cab or Uber. There's a dark underbelly to this city that's not talked about in the mainstream news and it's getting worse.

"Dark Underbelly" my ass. Go look for yourself. Millions of tourists in the loop and Near North side. Been walking around there my entire life without any problems. "Stay away from Lincoln Park at night"? Probably the nicest part of the city. I take the Blue line to O'Hare at night, no problems. I don't know what the motivation is for people to put this sort of bad information on the blog. It is totally inaccurate.
The rabbit on United was black. Where's (BRM)Blk rabbit's matter group now when you need them. This is another racial mark against United.Oh so I'm black so I ride in the belly of the plane. Where there any police officers on that flight so we can investigate them. Wheres the MSM on this? Keep asking those tough questions like was the rabbit sexual assaulted? Were there any strangulation marks on his neck? Any puncture wounds? Whens the protest start. Jesse can the rabbit population count on you?
Brilliant. Just brilliant. Thank you OP for making me smile.

All charges against J'Mal D Green DROPPED!

Whose call was it? Who was the defense attorney? Who was the ASA? Who was the Judge? Where is the media on this? A PO gets charged with a crime and can't walk across California without a herd of media in his face and the story leading the newscast. This offender cost the city 10's of thousands of dollars in manpower and responding emergency personnel, unlawfully possessed a firearm (remember Foxx, Supt, and Rahm all complaining about lax gun laws and how we need to get tough) and then they drop charges. I am sure they dropped these charges because the police failed to do their job, always the scapegoat.
Unfuckingbelievable.
SOmebody asked where is Black Live Matter?
Funny thing is The clintons stopped funneling money to them. All of a sudden the mystery buses and professionally made signs disappeared.
Is special Ed still meeting with them like he promised?
The college kids want to make the news nut are split about what they want to cry about. Co-ed piss rooms, burger flippers making 15$ or felons from Mexico.
Obama is pocketing cash with speeches and want no part of that mess.

How about firing Ginger??? I mean she is technically in charge, is she not the commissioner??? How about putting a real police chief in charge, someone with a law enforcement background???

Oh good god what spectacular idiocy. A guy isn't a dickhead for legally standing up for himself. Damn.
First, a huge THANK YOU to all the real cops for posting on here - who know the damn difference between a lawful order and a bunch of bullshit. Thanks for standing tall for professionalism.

You are a damn danger to the professionals in this business.
Stay away. Keep out, ok. And take the jagoff attitude - stuff it intro legal training book you never read.

The pension is vested after ten years if you don't tap it. But the federal law (LEOSA) required 20 years service and you had to be collecting a pension. Then it was changed to 15 years, and finally 10. But at the beginning it was 20.

So since it's all done will the coppers get their jobs back ginger? Or are you going to continue bastardizing the police? Jeffrey was in charge and he lied to get hired he is gone, now ginger you the tip of this iceberg have you resigned yet?

No "coppers" lost their jobs. They are security - not police.
To 859 pm. I also heard that years ago but only after she wrote a ticket for the third time separate days was the plate run and then. Merit Sgt later from the idiot divito.
I'm late on this one, but like some of you said, it's wasn't a criminal matter. If you get involved in labor disputes it's going to bite you on your ass, and it looks like it did. Off topic, stop buying ammo in Cook County, fuck their tax.

Hey my ass, last week my mother and sister were robbed on the fucken Blue Line going to O'Hare. I hate to give you bad information, but do me a favor, blow me.
The downtown area and Mag Mile are ok during the day.....

Uh, the downtown, armed car-jacking on Michigan Avenue today kind of blows that observation out of the water!

"Leave the airplane"
Guess what? You don't own the airplane fool. If someone from the airline tells you to leave, you have leave, it is their plane, you are trespassing. That's the criminal part. The civil part is when he gets a refund from the airline. It's not that hard. They should have told the airline to sign a complaint or get fucked but it doesn't change the fact that it was criminal. Class dismissed. I

Well dummy. It's called the Magnificent mile and the north shore are the northern suburbs with lake frontage. Are you even from here? Man, are you dumb!!!!
To "class dismissed" above
It's not trespassing when you pay for a ticket and that payment has been accepted. Add the fact you are given a pass to board and your ass is already in the seat. It was unequivocally a customer service issue and any CPD officer would have figured that out. Let's just say for argument sake that it was criminal trespass, shouldn't he have been cuffed as part of his arrest status? He wasn't, because he was not in custody. There were good reasons for this: Department of Aviation security officers DO NOT have powers of arrest and these goofs were acting on the misconception that their demands to leave and his denial to comply was enough to permit them to go hands on. Wrong! They unwittingly acted as bouncers for the airline, while having no clue (due to zero training and zero experience) of the legal aspects and ramifications. Had these goofs not over stepped their authority, none of this would have happened, the doc would have his nose and teeth intact and United would not have a lawsuit and viral media nightmare to contend with.

Oh for fuck sake.
United's own 32,000 word contract specifies all the conditions. It's the ticket.
The guy fulfilled all of his obligations - violated nothing.
He paid, cleared security. He was set.
United boarded him. No violation of rule 25.
He behaved well. No violation of rule 21.
Now guess what, idiot, there's no legal basis to throw him out. NONE.
And just because 'somebody from the airline' says something, it doesn't necessarily mean shit.
Trespassing???? On what legal basis is 'someone from the airline' going to sign the complaint? There isn't one. NONE. ZERO.
720 ILCS 5/21-2 which is the applicable Illinois statute requires that you 'knowingly and without authority enter(s) any part of or operate(s) (the vehicle). He had authority to enter and to be where he was. Period.
And oh...that's right...they didn't sign a complaint did they? Ever wonder why, genius?
Guess what. Because there was no criminal action - no legal basis to allege trespassing. That's why.
Goddamn.
Stay away from law enforcement. Far away.
Again thanks to the Real Cops here who took the class, and passed the class.
To "class dismissed" above -
Well there professor, I guess 08:37 and 12:31 did their jobs.
So put your janitor's jumpsuit back on, grab that push broom and get over to the student union. It's a mess.
Stay out of the classroom, far apart from real cops. WTH stay away from mall cops, dog catchers and sharp objects too.
Guys, this doof is a perfect example of how to get yourself in trouble.
Know the law. Follow the procedure. Stay safe. And never ever listen to thug brained morons with this - I'm the baddest ass mofo in the county - crap.
Stay safe above all.
