IS THODY WAKING UP FINALLY : DEAD POOL FALLOUT

A LEADER OR A FOLLOWER?

I posted earlier today about the HPD "Dead Pool" being run out of the Hartford Police Department's Major Crimes Division You can read that post here http://wethepeoplehartford.blogspot.com/2020/12/the-hartford-police-major-crimes-dead.html.

In typical fashion , Hartford Police Chief  Jason Thody was quick to react since he has never set the tone of accountability as a leader of the Department.  Thody claimed that he was angered over the "Dead Pool" text message and quickly reassigned the Detective who sent the post. In true Thody fashion it will probably end there since further action would draw attention to his incompetence as a Chief..

Why is the Major Crimes Lieutenant Paul Cicero  untouched and what about the two Major Crimes Sergeants? They were all apparently on the original text. Cicero apparently did nothing after the original text was sent and only after someone from the Hartford Court tipped him off around 1:15 PM today that I was posting the text , Cicero finally did something.

 There will most likely be some bogus attempt at a cover-up attempt as there was with altered documents after Thody's evading crash, but the time line will prove who knew what and when and furthermore , what did they do. A lapse of days is not acceptable for a supervisor who has an obligation to act promptly At roughly 1:40 PM Cicero sent an e-mail to his Major Crimes Detectives that the "Dead Pool" was unacceptable. Close tp 3 days  after the text was sent, Cicero apparently realized that it was time for some serious "CYA" before the matter blew up. Sorry, too late.

Cicero and his two Sergeants all had an obligation to act as supervisors. Failure to do anything should result in a charge of "Failure to Supervise" for all three.

Yes, the Detective who sent the original text was wrong, but so are Cicero and both of his Sergeants for apparently doing nothing. Fairness would, or should, dictate that everyone involved be removed from their positions, at least while an investigation is conducted.

It seems that it is very hypocritical for Thody to feign indignation when he has set the tone himself, especially after his evading accident where reports were falsified.

In Thody's e-mail to Department personnel after my posting earlier today Thody  states "Once trust between our department and our community is diminished, or lost, it is a vey long road t rebuild it"

A very true statement, but in reality, probably no HPD Officer has done more in the last year to diminish the Public's trust than Chief Jason Thody himself after his evading accident and coverup this past summer. Leaders lead by the example they set, not by sitting down and typing a hypocritical e-mail.

Much more to come on this, in the mean time Thody's e-mail is below where he admits to the facts in my earlier posting.
