That dumbass officer got suspended.

Only because of political pressure, that's where it's wrong. If that PD has a Union, it will be challenged and I'm sure after those hearings are done it will be a different outcome on his record.

Water conservation efforts in Utah are a massive fraud anyway. The real impetus for them is to enable unplanned and unrestrained growth. My advice: Open all your taps and run as much water down the drain as you can afford. It seems counterintuitive, to say the least, but wasting water is the the most environmentally responsible thing you can do right now.

The city's lawmakers feel that this is what they want and somebody voted for them
