Police Union Lawyers Blast Discipline Plan

..... Lawyers for the union representing Denver police officers took aim Thursday night at the centerpiece of a proposed new disciplinary process, describing it as an attempt to fix a system that isn't broken.

They also challenged Manager of Safety Al LaCabe's proposal to amend the city's civil service rules to a system of applying discipline via a "matrix" that generally seeks to match violations of department policy with a range of punishments.

Marc Colin, a lawyer for the Police Protective Association, credited LaCabe with listening to the union's concerns during the two years that the new disciplinary proposal has been under review.

We, the public think its time for the lawyers to shut up, let Mr. LaCabe do his work.
We, the public think, if a police officer commits a crime he needs to face the same laws and penaltys we do.
