Three things:

(1) At least we found out about the DEA suspension, if only thru a court opinion. If SHOPO and the legislature had their way, an HPD suspension would never have seen the light of day. Do you suppose the consultant doing the background check of the candidates who are current or former HPD officers have access to their personnel files? 

(2) Did Steve Levinson really decline comment beyond acknowledging Steve Alm's letter by saying he wanted to be as "subjective" as possible? "Objective"?

(3) Maybe it's just a detail, but some are important. Many media outlets, including Civil Beat, consistently get the name of Tommy Aiu's former employer wrong. The "A" in DEA stands for "Administration," NOT "Agency".

Just sayin.
