This guy is better off seeking another line of work besides civil service. He has dishonored the public's trust by committing this fraud.

How about he joins the guardian angels. Then he can come back with thumper and the crew and once again patrol the streets of Malden if he wants back so bad.

Isn't this former employee of the Malden Police Dept entitled to the arbitration process under collective bargaining rights ?

Sorry Correction: Collective Bargaining Agreement?

I don't understand how Michael could have received overtime money just by turning in O.T. slips. They had to be signed by the officer-in-charge of the shift that he supposidly had worked. Must be others involved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why didn't you post my last comment? Something fishy here!!!!!

David, you as a former MPD, isn't this officer entitled to a binding arbitrators ruling ?

What bothers me is that Michael should have a good lawsuit against the city for letting this out to Google if they had a signed contract that none of this would become public.Something still fishy here.

OK Chris, so now this man is unable to get a job now, but pols that steal from the taxpayers still get good jobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Stinkpit, We don't need guardian angels in Maine. We take care of our own. Do not need license to carry firearms. Also I did run for 3 offices and was voted in to the ordinance review committee, budget committee, and charter commission. Also I retired at 49 with a reduced pension to get away from the Malden politics. What have you done?

What sounds fishy is you say you retired way early to avoid the politics so you take reduced money from your pension to leave early? But then to avoid politics your commenting on all kinds of articles. Doesn't make any sense. I never heard of someone leaving a great job, looks like you were a bike cop, to escape politics only to obviously read and comment everything that goes on? Budget committee? Really?

Thats how much you know about Maine. Being a cop is prestigious. I don't think so. Try it some day. What have you done in your life?

Wow...someone who has a brain! Yes the OIC did sign the slips and no he did not steal 5K worth of OT that is what he was forced to agree to by the loser chief of police at the time so he could go on with his life! Low and behold he has not been able to go on with his life and someone should pay for that! He agreed thinking people involved would be respectable and account for his 20 years of outstanding service and they shafted him! It amounts to anyone leaving work early and not putting on their time card the flipping 15/30 minutes...not 5K! Also anyone leaving work early would not have gotten a life sentence to never be able to work again...The man has kids and it is devastating the amount of punishment this man has to take over something that wasn't really about OT just politics that the mayor wanted him out of President of Police Union position and another loser cop able to abuse his power with the chief to pay back a 16 year old vandetta!

David, you are a genuis :}

Thanks, I love being a genuis.

I guess my comments were for Chris Ceasar...writing a story that was a total 'gag order'...obviously someone still leaking information to public! none of what has transpired in the past 5 years should be public but low and behold I google and there are 10 more articles destroying this mans life as well as his families! Wish someone would write about the truth the whole truth and not look for more crap to exploit a situation that is nothing but lies!!! Cheif was not allowed to speak to media about any of what happen and there was NO investigation just a cheif and new captain abusing their power to pay back a vandetta that should not have been allowed to do!! The only choices the man has is to go after the people posting false information on the world wide web to DEFAME his name even more! Oh jeez Chris what can you say to that????

Oh yeah Chris thanks for letting Mike know that his decision was denied in civil service...funny how the world wide web knew the results before the actual person who filed the complaint! Boy what a world you people live in...seek and destroy anybody but yourselves!

Lisa,
Everything you say is so true. Good ole politics at it again. The chief that was involved should have been retired because of a heart attack, but good ole politics let him stay on. I don't know who you are but tell Mike I said hi and to hang in there. Karma will take over.

People wonder why a person would take up arms and go to former work place and shoot up the place killing people. A lot of people in this world are so crule. I would love to see the shoe on the other persons foot. Tell Mike that Ole Lippy would be supporting him also. Some times I believe crime does pay. Look at all the pols commiting crimes and doing better financially. Book and movie deals. Look at Columbia, the girls down there already have book and movie deals and the secret service men will also benefit. Try and have a good day. Dave M

Lisa, are you on FB.if so send me a message on FB and we can write in private.

Danny Boy, Maybe you can't read, I just stated a fact about workplace violence. You can't accept what is going on. You probably go along with George Zimmerman being inocent of the murder in Fl.

Being more specific, you don't know what is going on in this country. The Zimmerman case has to do with this, is if you know someone with power, like his father, a retired judge and mother clerk of courts, you get off with major crimes and someone like Michael gets hung out to dry because he didn't fit or pay to the establishment.

I agree Danny Boy that he should fight this in court, but it takes a lot of money for an attorney. As you see, I have notified Lisa to contact me in regards to this matter. He has to get an atty in Boston and not from Malden. I know the system as my wife and I had a lawsuit and know how to go about getting things going. Thanks for writing.

Hey Dave, good job retiring at 49. You really loved your job, right. That sounds fishy. You say its because the politicians drove you out? something doesn't jive. If you retired before the minimum age (60?) aren't you not getting a full pension? sounds like youre one of the good o'le boys

Stinkpit, Check the laws before you speak. Being in civil service as a cop you can retire at any age if you do 20yrs of service if you served in the military at a reduced pension. I am not one of the good o'le boys and never will be. Minimum age is 55 for full pension to put you straight.

Come on Dave, why did you leave so early from such a good prestigious job? You mean to tell me like you said earlier mean politicians forced you out. Thought policemen neeed to have a tough skin. Whats the real reason. Something smells fishy

They leave before the crap hits the fan..He should run for a job on the city blend right in.

Stinkpit, you think job is prestigious, why weren't you one. Probably couldn't pass the exam. You know whats fishey is you. I have no skelitons in my closet.

Hey Mokal your correct. Cops and firemen dont take off before they get their full pension since its so good. Obviously something is missing. He hates it so much in Malden but he posts all the time instead of enjoying his"early pension." And obviously english grammar wasnt a prerequisite back when he was a cop before he ran out the door for whatever reason. Or maybe he regressed now he's on the "planning board"

Hey Stinkpit, why don't you let us know who you are instead of hiding behind your phoney name. I know Mokal very well and he gives his name, from being a cop OK. I am glad that you know your grammar, you must have been a scholar in your days. Get facts straight, I am not on planning board. I love posting as part of my retirement and enjoying early retirement with your tax dollars.

I grew up in Malden and was very lucky to be aquainted with several Malden and State police officers while working out at the Y. As a young teenager, they influenced me to be good and stay on the right path, workout hard and help others. Will always remember several, who I could mention and they would be known. I for one appreciate all that has been done, Malden is nightmare to police with all the bad that is about. I have written on other cities that police should be issued automatic weapons. After all, it is only a matter of time before these criminals or worse, terrorists do it to us. I trust the police and don't want them outgunned, it will happen. I imagine many who are writing here, who probably have been arrested a few times, will not like that idea. Just wondering how a police officer would feel if his arsenal was upgraded to match the capability of the bad threats.

I would like to thank DannyBoy for his investigative tools in setting Stinkpit straight. I have contacted Chris about the remarks Stinkpit has made and defamation of my character and threats.

In regards to Don's writing about cops, I would like to see the arsenal of weapons upgraded to meet or exceed the criminal element. I know Malden police have the weapons that meet or exceed the criminal element, but are locked up in OIC office. They have officers trained for the use of them, but if needed in a hurry, the officer has to got to station and get the weapon from the OIC. I believe the weapons should be in the street sgts cruiser for quick access. Criminals have no law to follow but police do and if police don't follow the law in use of weapons all hell breaks loose with the media etc. Thanks Don

Dave, I don't think you'd want it to be public knowledge that there's a Bushmaster in the trunk of a cruiser.

My feelings are that if the criminals have the fire power cops should have it to and if the criminals know you have it the cruiser they will go else where. Here in Maine we can carry without a permit and the crime up here is low as criminals don't know who is packing heat.

Don,
That liquor store robbery was probably owned by one of our own and when the robber tried to leave, he shot him in the balls. Loved that cop. Well known in Malden and lives in Fl now.

Come on guys. Let's play nice. This story was posted over a week and a half ago!
