DEI has been successful in the agency. If I'm not mistaken, this puts black officers in the top two positions under the Commissioner.
All of the citizens of the state look forward to improved and increased discipline among the troops, including termination where warranted.
I think they should have given this job to E31.
The more things change, the more things stay the same. Wonder if E-31 will ever get terminated and what about that FINE UPSTANDING(yeah-right) LadyTrooper that passed around a video of her and her girlfriend/friend/non-consensual drunk participant doing the wildthang. Yeah, a state agency at its finest. and the way they fill out their shirts with their steroid enhanced biceps, yep an agency that is to be look up to, not.
Maybe he will take Trooper James Young off the road and put him behind a desk.
More and more seems to me there is a growing set of Americans spending their entire working lives working this and that government agency, never producing anything of value.
Well dressed meter maids.
Should have been Sippi Girl.
As long as MHP continues to remain silent on the blatant violation of constitutional rights that was perpetrated by trooper E31, they have no credibility. This is just another state government agency that has run amok. Too many citizens wake up everyday and put in a hard days work, pay their taxes, etc. to have some 2 bit tyrants run rough shod over our freedoms. All of the leadership should be fired and have to reapply after undergoing intensive constitutional training, they should be held to a higher standard. MHP will continue to be a stain on our state. We deserve better folks.
There should be a limit to how much money a government employee extracts from the citizens before they have to get a real job and start adding to the economy. We have far too many lifer parasites running around the state.
