i'm aware of, who has been terminated for not writing a police report. >> it appears it may be a signal of the commissioner, caving in to political and community pressure. >> the mother of the skateboarder believes the punishment is just. >> he needs to go back and see how eric and i felt three years ago when he did what he did to eric bush. he should be fired. this guy has an anger
