PO-PO, contrarian view of Forest Park's attempt to fire Sgt. Dan Harder [FP]
Forest Park's Police Department is in the process of firing Sgt. Dan Harder for taking sick days at inconvenient times and not being sick enough. Originally, Forest Park gave other reasons that have been debunked. See Forest Park Review (Seth Stern) and Proviso Probe coverage of the latest hearing.
I had a discussion with someone who doesn't believe Sgt. Dan Harder, Lt. Steve Johnsen and Harder's attorney, Jeanine Stevens are on the up-and-up.
I want to explore this scenario. Let's assume the worst of Harder, Johnsen and Stevens.
Harder had reason to be disgruntled with Chief Jim Ryan. They didn't like each other.
Johnsen applied for the chief of police position, but Ryan was hired.
Stevens has engaged in legal delay tactics while complaining about her client being suspended for over 30-days.
Am I missing anything? Is there any reason I should distrust Harder, Johnsen or Stevens beyond these reasons? (Any comments about any individual's sex life will be promptly deleted.

Carl, when you say " I had a discussion with someone who doesn't believe Sgt. Dan Harder, Lt.

I realize you are not going to give a name, but is this person in a position to know something? Or is just some pro- Chief Ryan person trying to sow doubt.
Everyone has an opinion. Not everyone has the inside poop. Which one is this person?

Let's just assume the person is not allied with Calderone, Sturino or Ryan.
The point I was working toward is that one can be quite skeptical of Harder, Johnson and Stevens and still find the Village of Forest Park's behavior wanting.

Commissioner Patrick Doolin has requested that the board of commissioners discuss hiring an independent investigator to look into the police brutality allegations.

How do I get a hold of this Dan Harder? He was a good friend and I miss him dearly but I can't seem to find him anymore. He was the only friend in my wedding and if he reads this, please have him contact Bruce Barclay at azbarks@yahoo.com
