The Sarasota Police Department whistleblower who made an anonymous complaint against Chief Bernadette DiPino warned city officials that if an officer or detective – and not the chief – had said they wanted to use a Taser on a mentally ill homeless man for creating a minor ruckus, “the comment would be met with a harsh punishment.”
“She has disciplined officers for verbal discourtesy for far more minor offensive or insensitive remarks to citizens,” the anonymous officer said in an email. “Very inappropriate for a leader to make light of such an individual publicly in front of officers, no less joke about a use of force against them for no reason.”

Donald J. Trump, fast working his way into history as one of the worst humans to ever occupy the presidency of the United States, is compiling some ignominious achievements. This week he became the first one of these to be impeached twice. I argue he should have been impeached for obstructing justice a dozen times during the Mueller investigation, but two is still the record. He is the first presidential candidate to lose the popular vote twice, and the first sitting president to never have an approval rating above fifty percent. He is the first one-term president since Herbert Hoover, another failed businessman, to lose the presidency, the House and the Senate in one term. He also joins Hoover in being the only chief executive in the last century to leave the presidency with less working Americans than when he arrived.
