This is true? I saw this story years ago on Homicide. On tv they had the cop kill an Asian family in their restaurant after closing, along w/an off duty cop who was eating with them. They found her father's remains in the crawl space. I forget why they decided to look. Jeez.
Pennington's a far cry better than the prior chief, Beverly Harvard. Harvard (who's now assistant chief of Hartsfield Airport's security force) was the hand-held puppet of former Mayor Bill Campbell, and was at his beck and call - even when a stolen car was noted in Campbell's driveway, Harvard, under direct orders from his majesty, did nothing.
At least Pennington's got the balls to half-way think for himself.
