A dozen Ohio Highway Patrol officers, including 11 of 40 at the patrol's Canton post, were fired Monday, resulting in a significant loss of manpower that could benefit drunken drivers and speeding motorists.11 of 40? Thanks goodness there were only "a few bad apples." I can't imagine what a significant number of rotten "Only Ones" complicit in messing up citizen's lives with cheating and lies would be like.
Three sergeants and eight troopers at the post along with a Wooster-based trooper were dismissed, after investigations found that they cheated on a written alcohol detection device certification test or knew about the cheating and failed to stop it.
Oh, that's right. It would be like the Canton post of the Ohio Highway Patrol.

Sounds like a loss of manpower that could benefit innocent people accused of drunken driving.
I grew up in southern Summit County (Barberton, to be exact), and I have to say that this ain't exactly unusual for Stark County.

Here's where the guys can never return to law enforcement ever. They took an oath to up hold the laws of Ohio and have showed they have no honor to their oath. These people can never be trusted to be able to go into a courtroom and do what, take an oath to tell the truth or be under an oath that they have already broken.
12 + 11 = 23 liars and cheats.
On another note with the topic in mind:
When police are up for new labor contracts and are not getting everything that they are asking for. Can't go on strike but stop writing traffic tickets to put pressure on the city. This is an act of willingly refusing to up hold the honor of their oath. Therefore these officers can never be trusted to go into a court of law and be trusted. It would be something to see a city fire every single cop who stops writing tickets and sues the FOP for the cost of training new cops to replace them.
It would seem to me that any criminal defense lawyer could expose such cops on the stand as having no honor to their oath and have the case tossed or anything the cops said tossed.
A liar is a liar and not just some of the time. A man or woman with honor will not break their sworn oath.
Better be careful. A "lack" of cops might just illustrate that civilization won't fall without the parasites. Can't have that knowledge getting out there.
Here's where the guys can never return to law enforcement ever.
Likely they'll just cross a state, or even a county, line, fib a bit on their resumes (or not, even - do the employers even check anymore?), and get a shiny new badge in some other department.
