Another Saturday, another good Maxine Bernstein story
In case you missed it, Tom Brennan -- the Portland police officer who blew the whistle on questionable conduct by one of his colleagues involved in the Chasse killing -- is apparently getting de-ostracized soon, and sent back out on street patrol. He'd been cooling his heels in a desk job, to which he was sentenced after doing the right thing.
Curiously, the new police chief, Mike Reese, who was the officer's commander at the time, apparently was the heavy who banished him. Now that the chief answers to Fireman Randy (through his puppet the mayor), Reese is coming around to seeing that maybe the whistleblower should be given his old job back. Just like the Fireman said.
