Georgia sheriff taking self-imposed suspension
Here’s one that will make you ask WTF?.
The Sheriff of a County in Georgia exposed himself in a park and ran from Atlanta police. Here’s how they handled it there…
DeKalb County Sheriff Jeff Mann said he will take a self-imposed suspension starting this weekend.
In a memo to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office, Mann said he is disciplining himself for one week due to “conduct unbecoming.”

Mann was arrested earlier this month and is accused of exposing himself at Piedmont Park, then allegedly running from an Atlanta police officer.
Mann said he will donate one week of pay to charity. His suspension starts this Sunday… SOURCE
So let’s say this happened down here and he wasn’t a police officer… you commit indecent exposure, in a park and evade law enforcement… we’re talking a life sentence on the sex offender registry. If I had similar charges and were reading this, I’d be up in arms!
Bureaucrats protecting bureaucrats! I guess he is using the ‘Hillary defense’…he did the act but did not have evil intentions.
About a week and a half ago, the sheriff finally pled guilty to a charge revised from ‘obscenity’ to ‘prohibited behavior’. He has to pay a $2000 fine and do 80 hours of community service. He’s also banned from Atlanta parks for 6 months (not for life, like many registered citizens are). He’s back at work now.
