You Go, Johnny!

Johnny Morris's  lawsuit is going to court.
A lot of things are apt to surface in open court that city authorities might wish they were able to trivialize or sweep under the rug.  Perhaps they should have thought about that when they offered an insultingly small amount as a mediated settlement.
These officials and their adherents appear to  absolutely refuse to acknowledge  that it wasn't WHAT was done, it was the WAY it was done.  I understand that it's "the way things are," to quote one of these officials, and that some people believe any method which will get them what they want is ok. I don't have to agree with it.
What kind of people are they that would conduct city business in such a manner?
I think the mayor, two commissioners, an ex-commissioner, and the city administrator should have to experience the same longterm embarrassment and humiliation to which Morris and others in the Electra Police Department were subjected.
It's really too bad four of these are immune to being fired because along with everything else in this blog, it's my opinion that people with the ethics and morality displayed in this whole ugly affair shouldn't be allowed to continue to represent Electra.


P. S. I don't care about the monetary penalties if Morris wins.  The city is insured, and in the case of personal suits against individuals, the townspeople aren't responsible for paying that. So all of you who are wailing about the cost and using that as an excuse to support the 'other' side and indulge in the famous negativity, think again.
