Did a lot of good for our country but he never set foot on Iraqi soil and, especially, he never did anything heroic during any of the operations fought in Iraq. Don't call me a coward because I posted something without trying to start an incident... I don't agree with what the Nazareth Police Chief is doin to Officer Shimer just like I don't agree with you calling him an Iraq war hero because I know real people that served in Iraq and did a tough job and served their country on multiple deployments INTO Iraq's hostile territory and I don't even consider them Iraq war heroes. Chris Kyle was an Iraq war hero, so was Scott Sather and Marc Alan Lee. Those are real Iraq war heroes Bernie. Get your information right and you wouldn't have people giving you crap.

But borough officials resent the full-timers bc they are members of union and demand silly things like health insurance and contracts. I am totally shocked they would fire one of their own, a Nazareth resident who always wanted to work here and who served his country honorably, to make room for the person responsible for the death of Timothy Nixon.

All officers are taking a stand against Chief Trachta and his kid sidekick Officer Troxell. Enough is enough! Coucilman who want to be reelected better do something! To bad for Deputy Chief Miller that he will NEVER BE chief. He has to live in Nazareth School district......like his personal sidekick and newly hired (under the radar) friend Officer Gross, who does love in the Nazareth School district. Perhaps that's why he brought him on board. So that he can work behind the scenes and double cross Chief Trachta to Coucil. Convince Coucil that Gross is well qualified for the Police Chief position under his personal tutelage!<br /><br />Hope Coucil did a private investigation on this guy<br /> Perhaps then they will find out how Gross is no longer a county prison warden..... (physically escorted off the premises)!!!!! <br /><br />These are the type of officers who we are now hiring to protect our families and loved ones!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-32083453404071867842015-08-15T08:45:55.275-04:002015-08-15T08:45:55.275-04:00Rumor in town is that the new cops all resigned? ...Rumor in town is that the new cops all resigned?

I hope the lawsuits burry him and his cup cake daddy Trachta and the boro council too. They all need to go and Miller can lead them out the door with his shit. The time has come and we now need to walk through this together. Everyone who knows the truth has to come forward, at council meetings and with the media. This must end and it must end now. Bernie I hope you can use all your resources with the public and attorneys to shut this down. Two union Officers have to sue for whats right and a third is terminated before he can even enter the union. Trachta, Troxell, Mayor and Council must go. I ask for a march at the next council meeting to let these cupcakes know the game is over. The constitution gives every man and women the right to voice their options with retaliation and now the time has come. Down with the courpt politics and bring forth a new wave of caring people who trusty care about their community. Why domt the rules apply to Troxell, why van he come and go as he pleases and yet after lawsuit after lawsuit and all the bad police work he remains. Nuff said!!!!!

Adam Shimer was the only person who fought for his right to work, after Chief Trachta attempted to disqualify him as a full-time police officer, in order to convince the Borough of Nazareth to hire Troxell who scored low of the civil service test. <br /><br />As we speak Troxell has been give all of Adam Shimer ' s work hours for the rest of this month and the month of September. <br /><br />Part time Deputy Chief Miller's angle or take on it could be the fact that, he is working on a year to year contract October to October at the rate of $40.00 dollars an hour. He needed to get rid of Adam Shimer to justify Nazareth Borough in retaining his services. Unfortunately this will most likely result in another retaliation lawsuit for Nazareth Borough.<br /><br />Good luck Adam Shimer!

I footnoted that because I was told twice by Nazareth officials that there was no such report. These misrepresentations to me, either intentional or unintentional, were made during borough council meetings. <br /><br />As for my remarks about them firing an Iraqi war hero, I consider that highly relevant. Veterans are entitled by law to preferential treatment in hiring. I believe his service overseas should also be considered in disciplinary matters. This is why we now have veterans' courts. But I caution you that I now know only second hand that an officer has been terminated. Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.com
