Wow. Maybe someone needs to take their delicate sensibilities to different line of work. I can't believe that she really listed "wearing mirrored sunglasses" as a form of intimidation. Ridiculous!

Agreed. Sounds like there are some issues on both sides.
Gave her report to her husband to turn in? Sheesh.

Using a red pen is intimidating? What rubbish!
I think this officer is too thin skinned and in the wrong profession.
What does scrutining mean?

I am sure there are policies regarding wearing sunglasses and apparently her supervisor violated the policy. Same for correcting her reports. If he's only after her with the red pen, and no other officers doing the same thing she's doing, then the supervisor is wrong.
Considering that the officers were disciplined for their conduct, it sounds like this female officer had legitimate complaints.

If she is this big a baby over these ridiculous allegations, what is she going to do when there really are issues? I agree she needs to find a new line of work or isolate herself somewhere. Harrassment and intimidation go on in a lot of lines of work and you either put up with it or you find a different job. She should be glad she has a job at all. Years ago, when I worked at a police dept. (I won't say which one), females were subjected to being grabbed or touched in inappropriate places, dirty/sexual jokes were told in their presence and they were openly propositioned and suggestive remarks were made routinely. They had to put up with it or quit. Complaints to higher ups didn't do any good because they were involved too or part of the good ol' boy system where their friends didn't get in trouble. THAT was intimidation and harrassment, not seeing your reflection in mirrored sunglasses!

She needs to pack her things and go. Do criminals on the street curse her and intimidate her too? Can she file a complaint on them? FIND A NEW JOB!!! Mirrored sunglasses???? COME ON!!!!

WOW! Is sounds that from most of these opinions you think that verbal and sexual herrassment is OK, and if you can't take it the RECEIVER of the harrassment should just move on or just suck it up.
MOMOF3, you ESPECIALLY should know that on the job harrassment is demeaning and WRONG! How do you know these allegations are, in your words "ridiculous"? No, I was not there either...Yet it sounds like you did nother but "turn the other cheek", so to speak.
I agree there are many who CLAIM harrassment but we all know that POLE-ice ossiffers are some of the worst offenders!

Shame on you, momof3. You actually said that a woman should just put up with the harassment and be glad she's got a job!
No, she shouldn't! No one should put up with workplace harassment. She did exactly as she should have done - SHE PUT A STOP TO IT. And you should have put a stop to it when it happened in your workplace.

"A committee of five city supervisors investigated and found Murphy did not discriminate against Brinkley but found his conduct by using profanity and his demeanor of intimidating behavior violated city policy."
According to the article there was NO DISCRIMINATION or harrassment against the officer...His behavior violated policy which is why he was disciplined I presume.

I have always liked Murphy. He's always seemed to be a good guy. I have a lot of police friends and they all say a few bad words every now and then. But out of all the police we have, Officer Yates is about the best officer that anyone could ever ask for.

willis5038....being that I was married to a M'boro police officer I would agree with josef. There are a couple officers that go to Dugger's on the weekend have them a few beers then get in their cars and drive home. I even had one come to my house drinking a beer while he was driving when he pulled in my driveway. Did my ex-husband say anything??? Nope! Then you have the ones that beat their wives and they get a slap on the wrist. I'll stop at that because I could keep going and going... What kills me is that they think they can get away with anything and everything just because they have that badge.

I am a female...so IF I choose to work in a male dominated field, I better be able to handle it and do the job equally. I wouldn't be a female fire fighter and complain about having to do everything the male fire dudes are required to do...do your job well and there shouldn't be any problems. I get a little irritated at women wanting to be equal but whining about small stuff. You lose credibility...watch the movie G.I. Jane!

Mirrored sunglasses??? Give me a break!! Does that mean we can say we feel intimidated if an officer stops us for whatever reason and he/she does not take off their mirrored sunglasses when they are talking to us??

They interviewed the three supervisors, Brinkley and 13 OTHER OFFICERS. Its possible that the complaints listed are not all from her and maybe from the OTHER 13 OFFICERS, BUT it is the POST so NO mistakes could have been made.... YEAH RIGHT! Whose the other 13 by the way? I do agree that some of the complaints listed are pretty silly, but only the auther that wrote the book can explain the true meaning of the story.
(Give praise to those who will stand up and fight... but BOO to the Dogs that bark with no bite.)Don't complain about things if you wont stand up for your complaint, just sit in the corner and keep your mouth shut!

Did it ever occur to people that the fact that these "bad apples" are bad has nothing to do with the badge, that they were rotten before they got the badge? RCPD and MPD do a great job of weeding them out. gotitans2007- I agree!!

They do not do a great job of weeding them out. There are a few "bad apples" that I could name that are with the MPD that have absolutely no business being an officer. All they do is put them off the streets for a few days or weeks in the office to do "desk duty" and back out on the streets they go!

murfreesboromommy, you no doubt have a problem, seems your ex must have pissed you off, however; I am sure while you were married you were right in the middle of all this bad stuff you say is going on, your just mad because you can't run with the boys in blue anymore...where is there a problem with officers having a life, they are humans too and have all the same problems we all have. If there are really bad officers out there I hope the get caught but, if you know something perhaps you need to be calling the Chief of Police and let him know what you say you know or zip it.
