Wow, haven’t heard that song in years! I’d say former Capt Cashin is most definately a lunatic and he’s absolutely lost in his own confusion looking for someone to blame. Hope the folks on the vineyard are “on guard”.

For some reason, reading these posts brings to mind the Red Rider song “Lunatic Fringe” you know,

“Lunatic fringe – in the twilight’s las gleaming
This is open season, but you won’t get too far
“Cause you got to blame someone for your own confusion
We’re all on guard this time against the Final Solution
all on guard this time”

You can decide who the words best represent

why fight crime or go out on the streets and look for it when you have crap like this on our dept.

it can only hurt the good officers , soon they will leave and we will still have the mayor and his rat pack.

Whistleblowers, Don’t listen to Moccia. He wants first knowledge of wrongdoing so he can sweep it under the rug, a/l/a Bush style, like he tried with the Fire Chief, except that this backfired on him.

Moccia said.

Norwalk Mayor Richard Moccia stood behind Rillingâ€™s administration and was angry that Cashin and other unhappy officers didnâ€™t come to him and other police commissioners before speaking to the press. He called Cashinâ€™s exposÃ© â€œdisingenuous”.

It’s quite obvious that Cummings is not only an embarassment to the Norwalk Police department but also to the gay community. No one likes a pedophile, gay or straight. Quit defending his sexual predator tendencies, he obviously can’t control himself, or his sexual appetite for teenagers. He alone has destroyed his own life and the life of his family. I’m sick of hearing how much he’s a swell guy. He has had reputation of kissing up to his boss,exhibiting fierce loyalty, but has “screwed up” in every division he has every worked in. Why the Chief covers for him is beyond me. The gay community and the general public should ban together and make sure he never returns as a cop, anywhere. This is not about being gay or heterosexual it’s about being a sexual predator of teenagers of which there is no known cure.I sincerely hope he escapes prison, I would wish that on no one.

That’s not entirely right. I worked in a bar for two years. We had a machine at the door that took photos of the person and the id we checked. Cops told us that as long as we checked the id, we were ok and the kids were the ones in trouble.

232. I agree. Let’s see how it ends up. I agree that I hope he doesn’t receive preferential treatment. I am more worried that he will receive harsher treatment because he is gay and is a cop. He is already being maligned and there hasn’t even been an arrest. This usually doesn’t happen to an ordinary citizen.

#235-Not true. The owner is held responsible because they as adults if in question of an id or the age of the person buying the liquor is in question it is very simple, call police headquarters, detain the person in question and get a full identity. It is the same if someone goes to a bar and the bartender or management is aware that a person is intoxicated and allows this person to continue to drink, get in their car and drive away and either the person gets killed or maimed or kills another person, they are held responsible. This is the reason why young adults should not be allowed to be bartenders unless they go through schooling and are certified. They are not in most cases able to decifer who and who is not intoxicated becasue their friends are amoungst those drinking and they figure oh hell, I’ve seen them drink more than that and survive and they don’t want to lose friendships. Unfortunately, bar owners look for the young kids to bring in the money. They hire young girls and guys who’s friends will frequent the establishment and therefore they will make the big bucks. It is unfortunate that society today equates fun to drinking and gears their ads to the younger generation. If you own a liquor store or bar you have a responsibility to the person purchasing the the alcohol to make sure they are not underage and to society and the community to make sure that everyone is safe from possible drunk driving persons who are in danger of killing possibly your family member or friend. There is also the possibility of an underage drinker who’s system cannot handle alcohol and end up with either brain damage or worse death because of complications from loss of oxygen to their brains. So we can twist this anyway we want but at the end of the day it all comes out the same.
