As you can see I am not affraid to put my name out there for those haters to bash. Bring It. For every hater, I have at least a hundred supporters. So I can hold my head up.

Petty is/was a better Investigator / cop that 90% of the guys still at BPD.
Remember the Homicide on 12th street east where the suspect dragged the body down the dirt street and then raked the road to cover his tracks?

If you knew Danny when he worked at the BPD you knew he was a player. But if you knew Danny when he worked at the BPD you knew he was a damn good cop and better detective. I worked many years with him and would do so again. I never questioned his loyalty to his fellow officer and this job. If you needed him for anything at work he would be there for you. Most of this agency is so new they would not know how Danny was as a cop, on the other hand "The Blessed one" never changed. If you worked there in anythime in the past 20 years his true colors would always show. He was not to be trusted, sad but true. You cannot compare Danny with the others you mention.

POLICE CAPTAIN PUNISHED WILLIAM TOKAJER ALSO GETS SIX MONTHS' PROBATION
FOR DERELICTION DURING A POLICE BRUTALITY INCIDENT.(LOCAL/STATE)
Sarasota Herald Tribune| March 01, 1997 | Nguyen, Phuong
Byline: Phuong Nguyen STAFF WRITER
A high-ranking official with the Bradenton Police Department was placed
on two weeks' suspension and six months' probation Friday following an
internal investigation that found him derelict during a police
brutality incident.
Counseling statements will be issued to two other officers who were
present during the incident. The measure is one of the mildest forms of
discipline a Bradenton Police officer can receive.
Capt. William Tokajer - who held the rank of lieutenant on Feb. 1,
1996, when one of his shift members used unwarranted force against a
suspect - was faulted for not promptly reporting what occurred.
Tokajer was the direct supervisor of officers Kevin Carmichael, Curtis
Johnson and Rich Murray, who that day patrolled areas in the city known
for illicit narcotic violations.
Carmichael is accused of using unnecessary brutality by hitting a man
on the head with his agency-issued flashlight following a foot chase.
The man, Louis Shelley, suffered a cut to his head and a broken finger.
Shelley told another officer while being treated at the hospital that
other officers made him sign a statement saying he hit his head on a
fence or a rock.
Polaroids were taken of Shelley's injuries during the booking process.
Yet the pictures cannot be found.
Only when another officer heard about the incident and reported the
allegations to supervisors Sept. 3, 1996, was an internal investigation
launched.
In the meantime, an independent criminal probe into the arrested man's
allegations surfaced. The internal review was suspended.
Findings on Friday state, "While a prompt and more detailed reporting
of the incident by the involved parties would certainly not have
lessened Carmichael's culpability, it would have allowed for quicker
Departmental action and may have prevented (a) later incident." Deputy
Chief Walt Watkins also wrote, "The responsibility to see that this
documentation occurred was that of Captain (then Lieutenant) Tokajer."
Tokajer knew what transpired between suspect Shelley and Carmichael,
Shelley told authorities.
Tokajer subsequently failed a polygraph test when asked about the
extent of his knowledge surrounding the events.
". . . Captain Tokajer should have acted more responsibly with regard
to this situation," Maj. Anthony Meador wrote in his findings, made
public Friday. ". . . He should have written a report and detailed
memorandum outlining the entire incident involving Louis Shelley."
Tokajer's punishment is considered severe among penalties that can be
issued at the Bradenton Police Department.
Officer Carmichael on July 31 was arrested in the case, on charges of
aggravated battery and official misconduct. Carmichael's case is
pending in court. He maintains his innocence.
The internal probe of the incident was resumed after Carmichael's
arrest. Bradenton Police Detective Pat Proudler reported as part of
Carmichael's arrest that Johnson, Tokajer and Murray may have covered
up the brutality.
Two accusations of brutality have surfaced against Carmichael.
Even before his arrest and firing, Carmichael was suspended after
authorities investigated another officer's charge. This one claimed
excessive force by Carmichael on Feb. 25, 1996 - weeks after the first
incident. Carmichael was found guilty of excessive-force related
charges at the conclusion of the internal review.
In the later incident, Carmichael likewise was accused of hitting a
28-year-old man with a flashlight during an arrest. The second incident
occurred at the Blue Moon Bar.
No criminal charges were filed in that case.
In his findings Friday, Deputy Chief Watkins referred to the first
instance of abuse when he wrote, ". . . a prompt and more detailed
reporting of the incident . . . may have prevented the later incident
at the Blue Moon Bar altogether."
And Watkins wrote, "The two-week suspension of Captain Tokajer is
severe, however, considering all circumstances, and the fact that he
was both present and directly in charge of the entire incident, I
believe it to be appropriate." Tokajer issued this prepared statement
Friday afternoon:
"Early on in this investigation I asked God for forgiveness for the
errors I made. Now that the investigation is over I would like to
apologize to my family, friends, department members and community. . .
. I accept the finding of my department. In the future while following
God's plan, I will be sure to use better judgment. I am working towards
doing the best job I can for my family, my department and my
community."
As for the other officers with knowledge of the first flashlight
incident, Johnson was cleared of charges of official misconduct and
Murray was cleared of charges of police brutality and official
misconduct.
Murray and Johnson were cited for not completing any supplemental
reports or use-of-force forms.
Carmichael was found guilty of brutality and cleared of official
misconduct. Because Carmichael is no longer with the force, he does not
face disciplinary action. Had he still been employed, he would have
been fired Friday, Meador wrote.
The department declined to comment on the investigation, citing
possible civil litigation.
