Unless he is n elected official rather than a paid employee, he is in violation of the law.

I hope they kick his ass.

I'm fascinated by the juxtaposition of Obama and Reid in this thread. If I were an avid Democrat and considered that I had a pair of those things the lasses enjoy, it says right here that I would be forced to put a paper bag over my head every time I heard Harry Reid speak if there happened to be another man in the room. Lord, what a creature he is!!!

Is there "Don't ask, don't tell" rule for senators?

Those are words that Bratton may come to regret if there is rioting in LA on Nov. 4th.

The rank and file will probably stay at home rather than risk their necks for this weasel...

He’s married to a huge, disgusting, lefty lawyer. No surprise.

former Boston police commish. A drunken, gay city councillor (David Scondras) called 911 looking for him late one night
(the 911 tapes were a scandal for Scondras)

In my view big city Police Chiefs are not real cops. They are political lapdogs for liberal Mayors.
