Lawsuit has zero merit!!! Everybody always trying to hide behind freedom of speech. Freedom of speech deals with prosecution by the government, not your posting of idiotic racist rants on Facebook and then lying about your intent to save your job. If I passed out pro-Hitler pamphlets on my own time off duty, I could say that's my right but my employer could say those values are against the mission of the department. Only stupid people "don't get it".

Notice how, 3 months later, nobody's saying anything about the investigations into the sex scandal by the Attorney General, FBI and the investigator Fischer hired. I doubt we'll ever hear what they actually found out if it puts anyone in the administration in even a slightly negative light. The contract guy answers directly to Fischer and Beshear won't run afoul of Fischer because he needs his support to run for Governor. I seriously doubt the FBI will challenge the Chief or become anything more than the white collar crime wallflowers they've always been in Louisville.

It will all disappear as if it never happened.
