Speechless

You simply must read this article about recently suspended Colorado State University Police Chief Dexter Yarbrough. Your jaw will drop in utter disbelief.

To properly comment on the disgusting and criminal behavior alleged to have been committed by this "professional" would take more time than we currently have. We'll confine ourselves to three observations:

1. Chief Yarbrough is apparently an ex-Chicago police officer. Read into that what you will.

2. How in God's name did it take 5 years for the university administration to finally catch on to what an utter thug they hired as chief? And why didn't the officers under Yarbrough's "leadership" revolt en masse long before then?

"several timid police officers say the President's Office had plenty of alarming evidence to take action long ago but turned a blind eye to a handful of alleged abuses of power." (Emphasis mine)

Just great. An entire force of cowards who let this reign of terror go on for entirely too long. They should all resign in shame.

3. Based on the picture of Chief Yarbrough in the article,

I'm modifying the Rule of Law-Enforcement Head Bling, which states that "The more stars, medals and other assorted hardware a police official has on his uniform, the likelier it is that he/she is a clueless idiot." Please allow me to demonstrate:

All of the above are law-enforcement "professionals" who don't seem to understand the concept of the Second Amendment, at least as it regards to the right of self-defense by law-abiding individuals.

Because of Chief Yarbrough, we're now going to have to add "or an out-of-control thug" to the Rule, it seems.

"Despite a consistent flow of complaints of harassment, fraud and threatening behavior to the school's Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity (OEOD) and to former CSU President Larry Penley, Yarbrough was promoted last year to vice president of public safety in addition to being chief of police."

Absolutely unbelievable.
