Revere cop who watched fellow officer shot to death could be fired

He ran so far awaaay

I guess there's no place on the force for a coward.

"The gun remained unattended while you and others retired to the rear of Revere High School and continued drinking alcohol in public," Reardon wrote. "You did nothing, as the ranking and senior member of this group of officers, to discourage the public consumption of alcohol..."

"When Talbot went down, Officer (William) Soto returned fire and you ran from the scene. You took no action to observe what was occurring or to offer medical assistance. You took no action to summon police or medical personnel to the scene," Reardon wrote. "Officer Danny Talbot died later that day."

After Franklin ran away, he flagged down on-duty Officer Robert Impemba who was responding to the shooting scene. Franklin allegedly asked Impemba to drive him home.
"Instead of telling him about the incident, you used your position as a sergeant to get into his police cruiser and direct him to drive you partway home," Reardon wrote. "As a result, Officer Impemba diverted from the direct route of response."

I always said it was obvious these guys were up to no good. I guess the truth will out. I'm glad the force is doing its best to recover its damaged integrity and not just papering over this incident.
