Behind the Blue Wall Re-Posts Boston Globe Story on Medford Police Sgt. (now retired) Who Battered a Woman

ex CHIEF LEO A. SACCO JR. CALLED OUT BY BEHIND THE BLUE WALL FOR MINIMIZING VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

MAYBE THE CHIEF HAD NO TIME TO PROTECT MEDFORD LADIES AS HE HAD TO DRIVE SOME ALLEGEDLY DRUNK FAMILY MEMBER HOME SO THAT HE COULDN'T BE ARRESTED, AS HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT CREEPY LEO, DOESN'T IT?

Thanks to BEHIND THE BLUE WALL for preserving Violence Against Woman by a member of the Medford Police Department.  James Lee wasn't the first, but if Breanna does something STRICT and LOGICAL about the VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN THE MEDFORD POLICE DEPARTMENT, MAYBE THINGS WILL BE BETTER.

BLACK LIVES MATTER MAY HAVE A POINT, BUT MEDFORD COPS DON'T DISCRIMINATE, THEY HATE BLACKS, HOMOSEXUALS, WOMEN....AS MARK RUMLEY CALLED TV3, "THEY ARE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY SLAPPERS" - AND RUMLEY SHOULD KNOW, HE WAS ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND WAS EVERY BIT AS ABUSIVE AS ANYONE ON THE FRAUDULENT NON-PROFIT'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

A Medford Police sergeant who was accused last year of hitting a woman during a dispute on a city street has been placed on departmental probation, will be required to undergo 10 days of training, and must stay away from the plaintiff in the case, officials said. The recommendation, made by Budget and Personnel Director Stephanie M. Burke and submitted to Mayor Michael J. McGlynn Tuesday, does not specify what type of training Sergeant James Lee must undertake, saying only that the course be selected by Medford Police Chief Leo A. Sacco Jr. “What happened shouldn't have happened,” Sacco said in a phone interview, and said that in terms of Lee’s history with the department, this was an isolated incident amid an otherwise unblemished – if not exemplary record... “He screwed up. He knows better. This won't happen again. I'm happy it's behind us,” Sacco said... "Sometimes things go beyond the four corners of of the page," Sacco said in a previous interview. Burke acknowledged in her report to McGlynn that accounts of the incident contradict, but placed onus on Lee for not backing off, as his training would have dictated... Lee and the woman did not testify at the hearing... In the affidavit the victim filed in Somerville, she alleges the sergeant “sucker punched” her in the face and tried to break her arm. In Lee's affidavit, he alleged the woman had placed harassing calls to his cellphone, and in his description of the confrontation he also acknowledges he unintentionally struck the woman in the mouth during a struggle... In a phone interview Wednesday, the woman in the case, who is not identified because of privacy concerns regarding domestic violence, said she dropped the restraining order months ago because she "didn't want him to lose his job,"
