What defines someone as a criminal thug?

• Stealing from others? Lying during a polygraph? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PG4...ew?usp=sharing
  .
• Perjury under oath? Convincing another deputy to lie under oath? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xuH...ew?usp=sharing

Criminal thugs exist at the top of the pyramid inside the Sarasota Sheriff's Office. SSO executive leadership is morally bankrupt.

If fairness, integrity, respect (bla blaa blah blaaaaaa) were exhibited by Tom Knight and Kurt Hoffman, then the vast majority of deputies and civilian SSO employees would exhibit respect and fairness towards them. However, Knight and Hoffman do NOT exemplify honesty or integrity, and then they reap what they sow. Then when they catch flack, they blame their problems on others. Do you want proof from members in the community who are not deputies or SSO civilians? Then ask Shirley Brown! Ask Judge Charles E. Williams! Or ask many other elected city and county officials who have had nasty encounters with Knight and Hoffman. Respect is easy to earn and easier to lose -- forever. Lying is a bad character trail.

Once "respect" turns into "contempt," it is rare to get it back.

Truth be told he came out in the morning with the intent to go to Dunkin' for coffee. When he reached When he reached for his wallet that he normally keeps in the door panel it wasn't there. Oh no he said to himself. I have screwed others for leaving their department car unlocked so I can't admit that I too and fallible. When news of this gets out it will prove that I am the type of arsewhole that the people on LEOAffairs say I am. What to do now. That's when he came up with the idea to go into the garage and grab a hammer and break out not 1 window, like most of the true auto burglaries I ever responded to, but 2 windows thereby increasing noise that might make being discovered more potential. (Remember when Tiger Woods was driving his Escalade and "crashed" into the fire hydrant? That's when the FHP responded and failed to realize the truth of that "crash". Do you really think that Tiger's wife actually went and got a golf club, broke the window BEHIND Tiger and the pulled him out from the car?? If you do you need to find anther job. The Trooper, not a real cops, didn't recognize the domestic situation and that he accelerated to get away from her as she was about to smash his window with that golf club and in so doing he lost control of the car and hit the hydrant. This is the same agency that Knightmare worked for before the Republican party bought him is job here as Sheriff.)

Now that he broke the windows he figured he could hide the fact that the doors were truly left unlocked. He figured by doing that he could say that his car was locked and the suspect(s) forced entry so that he was not in violation of any G.O. that he used to screw others when he was questioned by the joke of an IAB lieutenant Mookie.

Now that he knows his new found BLM friends were the ones either directly and/or indirectly involved, how will he handle the next "protest" that they initiate? Will he pay, out of our tax dollars, for deputies to advance their criminal behavior or use those funds to do his job and take action against the criminal activities of these Antifa BLM types?

Knight's NAME is completely scrubbed
from the public records report/request!

What kind of a rookie leaves his wallet, badge, ID card, credit cards and cash in his vehicle overnight? Seriously? Here is a link to the burglary report. Scroll down to page 4+ to see proof that Knight left his wallet overnight in the vehicle:

https://www.documentcloud.org/docume...ry-Report.html

Why is Knight's name scrubbed from the report in the above link? That's odd. Is there a statutory basis for that -- or is Knight bending the rules -- again? Is his skin that thin? Knight is technically the complainant (because he reported the vehicle burglary). He is also a victim because he left his wallet, cash, credit cards and badge in the vehicle overnight.

Wow he listed a “European carryall” aka purse or murse. That contained a cassette tape of a 911 call from 10 years ago. Weird stuff he has in his car.

Did the newspaper redact Knight's name -- or was someone in SSO records ordered to redact Knight's name from a public records request? The former is acceptable, but the latter is unacceptable or illegal (without a court order or a logical explanation).

Marcy's Law allows a police agency to redact a victim's name from public records, so Knight's name is legally removed from the burglary report. It is a relatively new law. Knight's identity needs all the protection he can get. LOL. However, this means one thing: the newspaper found out about all of this due to internal leaks from law enforcement officers who don't care of Knight's shenanigans. And now you know the rest of the story. LOL

Marcy's Law is good in theory, but bad in practice. For example, Marsy’s Law:

• Provides victims with the right to refuse depositions and discovery requests. For example, victims may (in some situations) refuse to participate in proceedings like discovery requests, which are crucial to gathering evidence that is needed to show whether a defendant is innocent or guilty. These proceedings are vital to uncovering false allegations and protecting the innocent.
  .
• Victims may now have a say in whether a defendant can post bail, whether a sentence is sufficient and whether they agree with a defendant’s plea.

Marsy’s Law puts the voices of victims — which are in many cases understandably emotional — on par with the voice of the State, which must make evidence-based decisions relying on the facts of a case. Marsy’s Law makes it easier for an innocent person to be convicted of a crime because there is no language in the law to prevent it from hurting the defendant’s constitutional rights.

Yep, as soon as everybody realized that Knight left his wallet and money overnight in his vehicle -- and the vehicle was burglarized and the money stolen -- Lee Williams received notification x18 on the hotline to the H-T.

Marcy's Law began with good intentions, but it's a nutty law. For example, if someone steals a 75 cent pack of chewing gum from a victim, then Marcy's Law prohibits law enforcement from releasing the victim's name. It's a nutty law. When most people think of Marcy's Law, they think of sexual battery victims, but it actually applies to all victims, regardless of how petty the crime is. Marcy's Law is just another way to clog up the criminal justice system with useless crap.
