At least it seems to me we've had police chiefs fired for less.
Say what you will about drunk cops getting into accidents or ghost employment or whatever else goes on at IMPD that's less than optimal, to have the sheer balls to deny a First Amendment right of the people to petition their government for redress hasn't been a problem down here.
Frankly, it ought to be a hanging offense. But I like the ISRA response to his idiocy:
"Garry McCarthy 's understanding of our Constitution barely qualifies him as a meter maid, never mind the chief of the nation's third largest police department," commented ISRA Executive Director Richard Pearson . "What on earth would possess McCarthy to assert that constitutional rights should be meted out based on public opinion polls? Let's not forget that public opinion polls once opposed a woman's right to vote while it would be a safe bet that, at one time, polls would have shown lynching as an acceptable form of justice. It has been said that our Constitution exists to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority. McCarthy's view of our Constitution is dangerous and unbecoming of a civil servant."
Yep. Apparently McCarthy has never learned the First Rule of Holes.
