Information from my earlier post about vandals attacking cars that have Darwin fish emblems and evolution bumper stickers on them attracted the attention of station GTN (Gainesville Television Network). Here is a short story about it: Vandals strike two vehicles belonging to UF Professors. The only odd thing in the story is where the reporter says that the university police had not heard of the vandalisms. It’s odd because both victims had, in fact, filed reports with the campus police.
[edited to add: There is erroneous information going around that the victims had never reported these incidents to the university police department. In fact, there were multiple reports filed. The latest incident was filed with the police on June 23, 2011. Case report number was 11-1178.]
As anyone who’s done an online search for “Kofi Adu-Brempong” or “Don’t tase me, bro!” can tell you, the Police Dept of the University of Florida has failed to cover itself with glory as a consistent policy for several years lately.
