Pic is snip from Dayton Daily News today. Cop in question has an interesting record. He was named officer of the year in 2019, for 2018. Later in 2019 he was convicted of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and suspended without pay for a month.
But I really want to remark on the "We are fair but firm" motto. Beyond the irony, I find the motto a disturbing substitution for the classic "we serve and protect." Hadn't noticed it before, but I now see police departments everywhere are adopting it, they seem to like it a lot. I'll just note that in English usage, what comes after the 'but' takes precedence, it modifies and can even totally cancel what comes before. I suspect 'limited fairness, unlimited firmness' would be a fair reading.
