    In January, Stewart received a commendation from the department for responding to “issues related to the houseless population” with “compassion and professionalism toward everyone.” As the Courier Journal first reported, Stewart is facing a 20-day unpaid suspension for helping to cover up a subordinate’s use of force against a man likely experiencing homelessness last year — a suspension he is now appealing.

    What the fuck? They praised the dude for racking up citations. Look, if one person is getting a majority of the citations, clearly the system is flawed to some degree. But they later found he was covering an incident against a homeless person. Talk about flip-flopping.

      That’s not flip-flopping, it’s a tiny window into how sick and sadistic agencies like these can be. Picture this award being given when everyone involved knows full well what this guy was.really doing to the homeless. They probably thought “responding to homeless with compassion and professionalism” was a sick joke and had a big laugh about it.
