How can anyone be so stupid as to do that after all the turmoil we've been faced with?
CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Cleveland City Councilman Richard Banks says he is tired of the “unacceptable behavior” of city police officers and is concerned that Cleveland Police Department transgressions continue to be “plastered on the front page of the paper.”
The city has been “showcased and spotlighted,” Banks said this week, “but I think the general public wants to see a new day in Cleveland as far as its employees; in particular, its police department.”
Banks said interim police Chief Mark Gibson is doing “a great job pulling the ranks together, but there are, evidently, some people who are – for lack of a better word – stupid about the way they allow their employer – the city of Cleveland – to be ridiculed and presented in the paper.”
In Monday’s council meeting, Banks questioned Gibson about Sgt. Eddie Bonnett, who resigned Friday, shortly after an investigation was opened into a complaint that he had used his personal cellphone to text an “inappropriate” photo of himself to a subordinate.
