Quote Of The Day

Indianapolis Public Safety Director Dr. Frank Straub, on all the negative publicity his department's officers have been getting over teensy-weensy oopsies like drunken vehicular homicide, firing a gun in a police car during an argument with a girlfriend, covering up a DUI hit-and-run in a police car and other endearing little quirks:

"You have to ask, 'What's going on here?' Is there another game I'm not aware of? What's the motivation?"

Yeah, gee, Frank, doesn't everyone expect a big-city police department to be a bunch of hard-drinking, hard-hitting losers?

No, pal, no we don't. I can't speak for anyone but me, but I've been pretty darned disappointed in IMPD. I know there are good folks on the force, but it's looking more and more like it might be time for a housecleaning. You may be a new broom, Doc, but you're not sweepin' 'em any cleaner.
