Lesson here? Don't be a buttlord

Or a dick or a jerk or whatever word works for you.

Johnny's not sure how the Jersey City police managed to turn the sympathy vote over to Mayor Healy but in messing with his fundraiser the other night by taking car keys of donors that showed up and hiding them, that's exactly what happened. Why would some members of the police who were outside protesting layoffs while Healy held a fundraiser inside Puccini's restaurant screw with people's keys? Police Chief Tom Comey wasn't saying but he did mention that the officers were going to be suspended.

Comey said the officers "were remorseful and took full responsibility for their actions. Additionally, the officers have apologized for their juvenile behavior and any embarrassment they have caused the department and the city". Fair enough, we're satisfied with the punishment fitting the "crime" here but why? Why make Healy a sympathetic if not tragic figure?

One more thing, a message for the JCPD. You know those surveillance cameras that you use from both places public and private to track down crime? Yeah, that's EXACTLY how your boys got caught taking keys. You'd think the cops would know about such things.
