Karoli picks up the story via Gawker about Tim Loehmann:
[su_center_ad]
He could not follow simple directions, could not communicate clear thoughts nor recollections, and his handgun performance was dismal,” Independence Deputy Chief Jim Polak wrote in a letter on November 29, 2012, according to records obtained by the Northeast Ohio Media Group. “For these reasons, I am recommending he be released from the employment of the city of Independence. I do not believe time, nor training, will be able to change or correct these deficiencies.”
Polak also wrote that he believed there would certain situations during which Loehmann would “not react in the way instructed.”
and from Cleveland.com:
The Independence report details a host of issues with Loehmann’s performance as an officer during his short stint with the department.[su_csky_ad]
