Now can we quit paying his salary?
JS Daywatch:
A Dane County jury has found fired Milwaukee Police officer Jon Bartlett guilty of making a telephoned bomb threat to the District 7 police station last December, and bail jumping.Even John Gard can't help him now.
UPDATE: Since he was fired more than a year ago for his role in the savage beating of Frank Jude and the subsequent coverup, Bartlett has been paid $72,900 in salary, City Hall sources say. With fringes it comes to a total of $97,686. State law dictates that he will go off the payroll once he is sentenced. Sentencing date will be set this Thursday. So, he'll get another check or two. He could save the taxpayers a few bucks, like ex- State Rep. Scott Jensen did, by resigning. But that would seem out of character.

You may be surprised to learn that the law requiring fired police officers to be paid during appeal only applies to Milwaukee. It is a Republican payoff for support from the Milwaukee Police Assn,
And because his appeals are now over, Bartlett will be required to pay back all of the salary he was paid.
Did anyone mention that yet?
You are the first to mention it.
Unfortunately, it's not true.
Wait a minute. Why isn't there a right-side uproar over cops making a $72,000 salary? Aren't they Union employees, just like the teachers?
Where's the outrage? Where's the love?
How the hell will he pay for all that ammo without a paycheck?
