Sanford Florida's PD(the lead LE agency in the Trevon Martin incident) has a long history of problems & fraud/waste/abuse.
In one recent incident, a Sanford PD patrol officer got his police job back after claiming he wasn't given fair treatment by the city & civil service officals. A federal ruling gave him nearly $100,000.00(pay, legal costs, lost wages, etc).
The Sanford PD fired the patrol officer for repeatedly making racist remarks during traffic stops with citizens while on duty.
It irks me when public service employees skate by but in the private sector you can be fired or "seperated" for any # of lame reasons.
