Now and again we come across some great stuff that just underscores stupidity, malfeasance and misspending of tax payer dollars.
One thing we will never understand is why cops who are hell-bent on protecting their addresses and their families and want to appear invulnerable and impenetrable, will publish their lives on sites like FaceBook and MySpace. They just don’t take the time to set their security settings and they don’t think they are accountable to anyone. It makes us want to start a sister site called dumbphoenixcops.
The following was published on FaceBook on an unnamed cop’s profile. What makes this both funny and sad at the same time is it appears that the postings and comments from other cops came while working on city time.
We as tax payers are not only paying for this educational session they are in (which according to them appears to be a pointless and worthless training, hosted by the FBI), but we are paying for the commentary, the Blackberry’s and the photos. Our city is broke and we pay for this along with chief Jack Ass Harris’ legal bills? Thanks City Council!
We won’t divulge the cop who owns this page. We hear he isn’t ½ bad and hopefully some smart friends will advise him that he almost had his career come to a grinding halt, owes us a favor and will learn to lock down his FaceBook page.
It’s truly amazing how these cops can badmouth the FBI and get away with it, until we Blog about it! Imagine what would happen if you were in a training session and were texting and joking about your trainer, and your boss caught you. How about if you feel asleep? What would happen to those of us who are not public servants? Think we would get fired or reprimanded?
Probably.
But wasting tax-payer dollars is a common occurence in the Phoenix police department. It's almost expected at this point.

The other cops in this thread are:
David Lundberg - supervisor in Homeland Security (the assclown in the photo who is sleeping.) We feel really safe knowing that Homeland Security supervisors are asleep while working!
Joe “Balloon” Knott, a douchebag lieutenant in Homicide. We have blogged about this worthless, lying corrupt cop numerous times.If you know of the other folks, please let us know via the comments.
As we have promised before, if any cop would like to contact us and give us their side of the story or to refute the authenticity or context of this Facebook thread, please do so and we will print a full retraction, delete it and send you a $50 gift certificate to the restaurant of your choice. But before you do that, know we will do a Public Records request on everyone's Blackberry!
And Lundberg - you asked for an 8X10 glossy and wallet sized photos of you sleeping. We did one better and published you on the Internet! Careful what you wish for!

XXXXX: I feel bad for him, since he was just the only one to get caught with the camera... There were lots of people nodding off. Yes, I think there may have been a little bit of drool also! I can't overstate this enough... The first hour of the... class was really that bad. Speaker up now is doing a little better... Here's hoping that it keeps improving...See more

Stephen S. Konegni: Bummer. None of that over here. I'll see if they can't bring her to UAE and keep her from boring anyone else in Phoenix . We'd find out if the guys here still want to be westernized after her class....just doing my part.
