I mean how much more do you have to do to be counted as wrong? He is a state employee for goodness sake! He should be setting an example not abusing his so-called power! Anyone who is defending this sad individual is simply biased on the subject at hand. And don't hand me some black/white issue. That is not the case. He is a well spoken man. I have seen him in action. However, he messed up, plain and simple and he should have to live with those convictions. It is just sad somehow he has slimed his way back into the system and now is going to continue to abuse his power and use his prejudice against people that have to serve the community or will fall victim to his inaccuracies. Just plain sad. Shame on the state department for taking back someone who is so inadequate when there are so many others out there that are qualified and fair. Nevertheless, who do not use their position as a pride piece.

However many or all of his colleagues may have engaged in similar behavior while he was selectively disciplied. And he may have provided evidence proving he didn't commit these fireable offenses, they were exaggerated or evidence others were not disciplined for similar behavior. <br />Active investigations are dangerous territory for employers. It is hard for an employer to justify actively digging up evidence of wrong doing on one employee, particularly when they are not doing it to other employees. <br />Also important to consider is that just like a search warrant there must be just cause and reasonable suspicion to perform a search or in this case an active investigation. It's not like management is passively waiting for his manager to file a complaint with UR or cite him with insubordination or failure to perform his duties. They are looking for evidence. The evidence they are looking for (just like a warrant) should be reasonable search, for specific evidence like a warrant. It shouldn't be a tool to find anything and everything they can related to any random misbehavior or accusation. My guess is this case went wrong when it coincided with another politically motivated investigation and Di not find any related evidence tied to previous accusations that prompted the search. The so called evidence was random violations that were not prefaced at the beginning of the search. Basically he was the victim of a witch hunt and the evidence scrounged up is essentially not going to hold up to the standards an independent review of the case will impose on his employers rights to searchAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5522977664404281164.post-42893285272978752382012-02-20T20:30:34.907-05:002012-02-20T20:30:34.907-05:00The public has access to the accusations made agai...The public has access to the accusations made against Mr. Turner they are in the article.

If he was fired for just cause he would have been permanently gone. Accuations can pile on like a stack of flap jacks when you are a politician. It doesn't mean any are true. People have motivation to lie. What matters in proof and I've never seen a charge yet come close to being proven. All the accusations are conducted by investigations and not active complaints or criminal or civil cases brought by actual complaintants. None of the accusations have ever landed in criminal or civil court or resulted in a settlement to a victimized party. <br />I.e the city employees who are annonymous didn't want to file complaints against him or make trouble for him. They never filed any cases or made official complaints. Then there was an annonymous person who claimed he "showed her a gun" and called 311 to complain. Um so he wore a gun for his job. If someone "showed" you a gun that is not pointing it a gun. If someone points a gun you don't call 311 trying to complain to their manager, you call 911 and have them arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, trespassing, going armed to the terror of the public and insist they immediately be fired. Just some examples of how accusations can be twisted and brought up years after the fact and misrepresnted for political purposes. An accusation is only as good as the facts that prove the accusations are true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5522977664404281164.post-21262522456878310482012-02-20T20:19:07.699-05:002012-02-20T20:19:07.699-05:00How about taking this logically and one step at a ...How about taking this logically and one step at a time:<br /><br />"Turner was fired for missing meetings or drug screenings with at least 14 probationers."<br /><br />Fact?

It is important to ensure that all employees of any employer are held to the same standards and aren't railroaded based on political witch hunts. It is rare that an employer actively investigates misconduct of an employee. It is particularly concerning when they do not do this to all of their employees. It makes one question the motivation of the investigation and the validity of any violations discovered or possible exaggeration.
