The Coppock File

I bumped into Tom Coppock and his wife yesterday at a local restaurant. We had a passing conversation and he dropped the hint that he was going to "go with his story". I'm sure there's more to come and more to this story than was ever in the news.

He must have found out he was not a finalist for the chief of police. Don't get mad, get even.

Yeah...I was a chump....haven't heard a thing from him since then. My wife was there too...she asked "what's with that guy?"
I just chalked it up to business as usual. Maybe Tom got pressured NOT to publish. Perhaps he was offered a Lt's job instead of Chief? Hell, I don't know. All I do know is what he told me in a public setting. I've let this one sit on its own merits. Lots of talk...not much walk.

Haven't you figured out that is all Tom is...a bunch of talk who can't walk the walk, but boy is he good at stirring up the sh*t. I am sure he is busy trying to figure out which department he can go screw up next. Let's see how did he do it again... oh yeah, go in and be friends with everyone, get in good with certain council members. After everyone thinks you are their best friend, stab them in the back and try to take over, it doesn't matter who gets hurt or screwed over as long as you make it to the top. He just forgot to read ahead in his manual for taking over...council members lie and he gets screwed in the end as well. Council members get their seat and everyone forgets about Tom, they don't need him anymore. He makes threats of going public with some big story months ago when he lost his job with the department, but nothing comes of it. Then he tells Steve again that he has something to say, but nothing comes from it...maybe he finally realized that no one around here cares about him. If he had something really big before, don't you think he would have already used it? And what a dreamer, to think that he actually thought that he had a chance to be the new chief. Like those officers would work for him after all the crap he did up there.
