Firing For Reports Not Done

So the word is that the two deputies terminated from working off duty security at the Outlaw was for not filing a report.

So Ddg must ask, where was the supervision for the last few years that allowed deputies to believe that they did not have to file a report regarding an assault and battery? Especially one in which an ambulance had to be called for one of the parties? No matter that it was for the one determined to be the aggressor.

Where was the shift supervisor? Does he not care that an ambulance was dispatched? Did he not know? Does he even know what his responsibilities are? It all reflects on the sheriff, it starts at the top and trickles down.

The answer is that things have been allowed to go their own ways until an incident such as this appears. Instead of properly blaming the supervision up through the chain of command to longshanks (who is ultimately responsible), it is much easier to fire two deputies than to put the responsibility where it belongs, right on the sheriff's desk. It is the blame that is due to the poor supervision that has been going on for the last eight years.

Contrast that to the deputy who had dozens of reports that were not done. This deputy was not fired, only given some time off without pay and reassigned. Where was the supervision on this one? Were none of the reports "important" enough that no one missed them?  Or were the victims involved in the reports not "important" enough? Do these victims know that they are being ignored? It boils down to the poor supervision or no supervision that starts with the sheriff and infects the whole department.
