I think that Akemon got caught up with a person who is a candyazz! We need to take a look at the complaint and the complainer. Lt likes to yell, he likes to talk loud, and on a good day maybe he only gives you a dirty look and shakes his crooked finger at you....so please look at the real perogative behind the complaint. Its BPD Bitch!
I am offended by this statement. I have many male friends. However, if one were to make - what I perceive as an offensive comment - I would tell him to back off. If it were to happen again, he would be history.
Unfortunately, law enforcement primarily is dominated by males with sprinkles of females. I do not know if it is a southern problem or not; however, the males in upper management are well known to dislike females - openly suggesting that they have no place in police work. It is unfortunate because we, females, have a lot to offer. And, we can be every bit as good as a male in law enforcement - many times, better.
Every police officer must take sensitivity training. Most of that is common sense. Why men think that they can make comments of a sexual nature and that is okay is beyond my thinking. And what even makes it worse, when it happens and females make a comment to try and stop it, we are looked at as trouble-makers. I don't want to be shown nude pictures of women on your pc; I don't want to listen to your crude sexual jokes; I don't want you making comments about my boobs. And most of all, I want to do my job to the best of my ability with your senseless comments not spoken.
If I am reading correctly what really happened, regardless if they were friends or not, what transpired should not have. It did repeatedly. To make a comment that they were friends and basically dismiss the "act" itself is astonishing to me. Slap someone by giving them a week off and taking away a position of security director which never should have been run by him, is a gesture that is typical of the southern mentality of law enforcement.
We, females have been subjected to a lot in our daily jobs - of unwanted advances, unwanted back and neck rubbings, etc. Sexual harrassment needs to stop.
This akemon guy has a history which is being ignored. This, alone, tells me that someone is protecting him.
To the female sergeant: we are behind you. Together we can make a big statement and stop this nonesense from happening again.
