Conrad moving a whistleblower to the river patrol is straight out of a Bruce Willis movie. This department could get sued for making people shake their head so much they get neck problems.

They should have never put him in the water if they didn't want him to make waves!

It's hard to believe Kraeszig would be so dumb as to write what she did in his performance evaluation for talking to the Mayor. It makes her look like she doesn't understand the meaning of the words "shall not publicly criticize or ridicule the department, its policies or other members by speech, writing or expression or in any other manner when such expression is defamatory, obscene, unlawful or made with reckless disregard for the truth." Someone talking to the Mayor about mismanagement has nothing to do with that policy.

It's becoming plain as day to everyone on the outside that the administration routinely lies, even in writing and when they can't believably spin the story.
