You have a deputy warden who ended up in federal court for his alleged role in hogtying a female inmate and leaving her like that for nearly 7 hours, you have another administrator who cost the county nearly $100,000 for repeatedly harassing a former female officer, and yet another administrator who served underage females alcohol. If Officer Hoffert must go then the administrators should follow him out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-21011774880737960142016-03-24T19:39:36.546-04:002016-03-24T19:39:36.546-04:00Dropping three misdemeanors for a guilty plea to s...Dropping three misdemeanors for a guilty plea to summary is enabling.

If memory serves me right, he tried to make the claim that "rough sex" might have caused any injury that his ex-girlfriend had, which, honestly, is a good defense on his part as it serves two purposes: 1) excuses his violent behavior and 2) makes her out to look like a tramp in the court of public opinion as she consensually engaged in this behavior. <br /><br />Fortunately, for his victim, it didn't work and despite his time in prison, he has failed to take any responsibility for his behavior.<br /><br />Newsflash 4:17: A "pattern", clear or otherwise, of domestic violence does not need to be proven. <br /><br />Study this next sentence for a very long time, before posting again, "The most skilled offenders are those who rarely, if ever, have to use hands-on physical violence to assault their victims, as they are capable of assaulting their victims in very subtle and benign ways". Slut-shaming them, as you did, is just one example.

There is no question that, in the past, there have been different rules for different people. The rules were enforced against people of color, and not enforced against whites or people in power. As true as that is, it is no justification for allowing disparate treatment to continue. There is a compelling public interest in reducing domestic violence, which exists in high percentages in both the law enforcement community and in female inmates. It also appears to me that Hoffert has no remorse for his behavior and is used to covering these things up. In fact, he was disciplined before, not for the domestic violence in 2004, but for not reporting it. I am unaware whether prison administrators were ever made aware of the charges lodged against him in 2006. <br /><br />I hate to see people fired. More often than not, I defend them when that happens. It kills me that the union did next to nothing for two secretaries who were improperly fired for naughty emails, or for MDJ employees who were improperly denied raises, but is fighting for a man who clearly has displayed a pattern of domestic violence. It is this kind of absurdity that turns people away from public sector unions, as important as they are.
