Tale of the Tapes

This column will by necessity be short because no one is talking about who was doing the talking. As of today the story of who said what that was caught on tapes at the South Bend police department has a very distasteful ending.  The police chief, a good man by all accounts, has been demoted and a dispatcher has quit. And in the wake of the Feds deciding there will be no indictments the tapes in question are under public scrutiny lock and key. There may be plenty of legal mumbo jumbo to back that up, but it is very unsettling to many people in South Bend.
