LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — Authorities are investigating a widespread sex scandal involving nearly a dozen police officers in one Florida city after a civilian crime analyst detailed trysts with the men in police and fire stations, patrol cars, motels and even in a parking lot after a memorial service for a slain officer.

that's a pretty busy analyst - when did she ever get any real work done?

I believe it was meant to draw attention to the lack of "They".

no.....read the phrasing of the quote

"a civilian crime analyst detailed trysts with the men in police and fire stations, patrol cars, motels and even in a parking lot after a memorial service for a slain officer."

it's funny if it's read that the analyst was the participant in all the 'trysts'

I'll keep trying.....futilely

Yes, the civilian crime analyst is a "she", and yes, she was a participant (alleged victim) in all the trysts.

Any ambiguity is dispelled by clicking the link and reading the second paragraph. If any of the partners had supervisory authority over her, that's not kosher and deserves investigation. If any of the partners were on duty or using city property improperly, that's not ok and deserves administrative investigation. Other than that, if she didn't say no, and no force, threat if force, or coercion was used, then what's the problem?
(it's weird and I don't personally approve f her action or the guys, but how is it news or criminal?)

A fairly ambiguous story from a factual perspective.

She was screwing everyone. She claims the men took advantage of the fact that she had a history of sexual abuse. (Nothing indicated that they knew about that history or who initiated sexual advances) Her friend said the men took advantage of the fact that she wanted to please, couldn't say no, and had lots of sex. (Could define a victim or a slut)

Without more facts than were in that article, it's hard to say if she is a slut who reported this for her own advantage or if she was a victim of a male dominated profession with too much testosterone. Text messages and emails were mentioned, but who initiated them or the content were not. It's possible men were targeting her. It's possible she was targeting them. We just don't know.

I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

Well it is Polk County.....we set our expectations pretty low for them...

[Kennedy 0]

Very true. I meant ambiguity as to the sex and participation of the reporting party. Other than that, yes it is unclear and sorely lacking in facts.

You Pasco bumpkins are just jealous that your county doesn't make the national news as often as Polk does. (Well, you guys do have the Dougherty Gang. But we have LPD & Sheriff Judd. We also have the guy that was skinny dipping in the motel pool a few years ago when he was "accidentally" uh ...snagged by the filtration system and they had to call the FD to get him free. That one made the Leno show.. Also, the guy stealing the case of beer when his low riders tripped him up during the getaway.)

well, it wasn't worth clicking the link.

I assumed that the analyst was testifying as to a series of behaviors she observed of a bunch of different people. My joke was the wording implied she was the mass participant.

Joke's on me since you guys say my ironic read of the article is actually the truth.

If you want to find examples of officers doing wrong, there are plenty out there (though not even a fraction of what the cop haters would h e you believe). I'm much more concerned by this one from Vegas. It's got video from two points of view. I won't say they're wrong until I know more, but it looks bad.

I like how in the second video, the guy says "No." and the cop just chuckles and grabs the phone and his arm.

Every time I see a "cop behaving badly" video I feel the need to remind everyone that until they put an end to the collective bargaining rights of police officers, you will never get rid of the bad cops...

Thank a liberal.

I would if I didn't have to describe and explain what irony is to them.

I could not agree more.

PS) I spent 34 yrs at the 'public trough' without any union; I think I did OK. It came with the job; take it or leave it. Remember how Pres. Reagan ( not a hero of mine ) handled the ATC strike? Good for him.
