LET:
MILWAUKEE, WI- The former chief of the Milwaukee Police Department may be getting his job back in 45 days unless a settlement is reached between his attorneys and the city, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Such was the order of Milwaukee County Judge Christopher Foley last Wednesday.
Foley’s ruling came after former chief Alfonso Morales’ legal team asked the judge to force the city to put Morales back in his former position.
“If you can’t get it settled with the 45 days, then my order goes into effect,” Foley said when the hearing ended. “Put him back in office, make him the chief and away we go.”
WTOP News reported that Morales was demoted to captain last August after a series of racial justice protests as well as complaints of distrust within the police department.
However, Morales’ chief attorney, Franklyn Gimbel said that Morales’ relationship with the police commission had been steadily deteriorating after he refused the chairman’s demand that he fire an officer involved in the arrest of NBA player Sterling Brown, who played for the Milwaukee Bucks. more here
WHAT, is this judge sane?
Reinstatement is just the bargaining chip. He doesn’t want to go back to work in that toxic environment. A nice fat settlement will work so he can retire, live off his pension and spend his days fishing in Montana.
Special treatment for a Sportsball player? Why, that’s unheard of!
