 'Why is it so hard to fire a policeman?'
September 7th, 2008 05:00 AM - Take Gerald Callahan. In 2004, he handcuffed a bartender who refused to serve him. The city paid the bartender $15,000 to make his false-arrest lawsuit go away and Callahan was suspended. The department ordered Callahan -- an alcoholic and manic depressive -- into rehab. The day before he was return to normal duty in 2006, supervisors smelled booze on his breath. He refused to take a Breathalyzer and was abusive to his bosses. The police superintendednt moved to fire him.
