JOE SALERNO vs CITY OF PLANT CITY/PCPD

Look the bottom line is 251 needs to move on. We as a department need to move on. He, like many others would still be here if they did not violate procedure. For some reason people just want to keep dragging this out. He called officers who he had worked with and did not work with. He put his former squad mates on the fence and that was uncalled for. They did not want to hurt 251 but they just told the truth. The truth is what cost him this bogus law suit no officer needed to lie for the department. Here is someone not even at the depo spreading rumors like always. The Chief was there it was recorded so "SHUTUP" and move on.

Maybe Joe does need to "move on", but you can't fault him. He was terminated, it affects him and his family. He is probably very angry and I can understand that. As far as saying he would still be here if he didn't violate procedure, everyone here has violated procedures at one time or the other even if they don't want to admit it. Everyone has blown off a call at some time in their career (some way more than others). Many others have done things whether intentional or not, that they were very glad no one found out about. It is a shame he had to call others to the depo, but how else are you going to find the truth (unfortunately, people will still lie if they think it will make them look bad to the administration). As far as relying on Chief's word even in a DEPO, that is up to your own judgement. Personally, I think Chief will say what is least likely to come back on him. Before you say something rude, It happened to me (not in a DEPO). Again, make your own judgement.

McDaniel's day is coming!!!!!!!!
