Top-Cop Applies for Disability, Blames Tea Party
La Crosse Tribune ^ | 11/13/2014 | Anne Jungen

TOWN OF CAMPBELL — The town of Campbell police chief who tarnished his department’s reputation in a case of cyber-warfare will resign from his position today and seek duty-related mental health disability benefits.

The town will pay Tim Kelemen, 37, for 335 accrued hours under an agreement negotiated by the chief’s lawyer and the town’s attorney and approved unanimously Thursday by the Campbell Town Board.

“It’s not a good day for the town. It’s not a good day for Tim Kelemen,” town attorney Brent Smith said. “It’s not the way you want to end an employment relationship.”

An attorney who investigated the embattled chief, on paid leave since June, recommended an arbitrator fire or suspend him for violating the law, and town ethics and employee policies when he used a La Crosse tea party activist's personal information online and then lied to investigators about his conduct.

Only in a government job can you break the law, get caught and be rewarded with a monthly check for life....

This is what is wrong with America and it has got to stop!

What BS, he violated the law and then lied about it.

Fire him and prosecute him, don’t retire him.

That's just the criminal trial. Now let the civil trial begin and hopefully the courts will award all his ill gotten booty to the TEA party plaintiffs. I mean, identity theft and all has got to be worth several million, in equal payments of, say, the disability payments he's receiving.

Oh, and the liberals have gotten a hold of the comments section of the newspaper to voice their support for this idiot.

So did Pre-traumatic Stress Disorder cause Kelemen to sign up Greg Luce for porn and homosexual dating sites? He new the Tea Partiers would be mean to him in the future and that forced him to steal Luce's identity preemptively.

The police chief already plead no contest in court. He is hiding behind a insanity defense to protect him in a civil lawsuit and Federal lawsuit our group has filed against both him and the town. He is now the victim...it is insane.

Thomas More Law Center along with Attorney Bernardo Cueto are representing our group.

And since those in government now make up the biggest employer in the entire GD nation, you're surrounded by those on the fat bloated bare tax paid teet.

You can hear the disgusting sucking sound 24/7
