You guys were right about one thing: The Palin Bounce is Real!!

Neither is Troopergate.  Abusing authority to persecute a serving law-enforcement officer is not a good sign.

From a person on another board:

This is one case where when you hear "Palin tried to get her brother in law fired" you think one thing-corruption.

When you hear "Palin's staff looked into allegations that no disciplinary actions have been taken against an officer of the law who a) tasered his stepson and b) made repeated threats to murder his father-in-law" you think something different.

She says her office never requested the officer in question be fired. Since she is the chief executive of Alaska this begs the question "why not!!!"

I mean if I tasered my step daughter and threated to kill my wife the police would lock me up AND my job would probably fire me for ethics code violations.

There's a procedure for disciplining wayward cops.  Palin bypassed the whole thing and just ordered someone to fire the allegedly bad cop.  No charges, no hearing, no nothing.  Why?  Because THIS cop was her sister's ex.  When the guy refused to fire Palin's ex-brother-in-law, she fired HIM.
