Any lawyer who got his law degree from a IndiaMailOrderSchoolofLaw.com could have given the chief the correct legal advice, which is to make no public statements. He's too eager to score political points with the community. Now the department could possibly be sued for slander and the attorney for the Explorer molestation victims can raise that issue. They never told Audubon Park what Betts was forced out for. Now it's obvious the department picks and chooses who to brand based on politics.

He was reinstated with backpay and then resigned by choice. There was no agreement to not seek reemployment because he left on his own. I assumed he didn't want to work for an employer that handled his case in the court of public opinion.

Personally I think he knew this would happen and wanted to be able to sue. The chief just opened the door by making a public statement.
