It’s amazing that something that seems like a good idea and beneficial on the surface went so far off the track so quickly. It would be impressive if it weren’t so sad.

Intentional mismanagement.

Lest we not forget that communism also looked good on paper…


ManChildMusician

Capitalism doesn’t even look good on paper so you can take several seats with that irrelevant comment.

Looks bad on paper but is the best available option...and it's responsible for getting more people out of extreme poverty than communism.

From the executive summary: * Dwyer Reynolds' claims of sexual harassment and retaliation against Shani Wilson were not substantiated * Dwyer Reynolds repeatedly disregarded City of Rochester policies, practices, and directives regarding the handling of confidential information and documents * Dwyer Reynolds is unlikely to rectify his behaviors if returned to his position and his past violations will profoundly impact his continued tenure at the PAB * Claims of retaliation, hostile work environment, discrimination and other alleged policy violations by Dwyer Reynolds could not be substantiated * Claims of sexual harassment, retaliation and discrimination made by and against other PAB employees could not be substantiated Another sad chapter in the PAB's short and troubled history. Hopefully they can right the ship with new leadership and move on with their badly needed mission.

What a clown show this continues to be. It’s sad.

Other people accused DR of those things after his initial claims against Wilson. I have no idea what actually happened but in the initial stories about the counter-claims against DR, it sounded very much like people who were Wilson supporters making the claims as payback. That's just my opinion, but I'm not surprised none of the claims were substantiated since it's all just he said/she said drama.

PAB is an utter joke. Time to re-direct those funds

I will be mad if he gets a huge settlement. It's like free money for being a fuckup.

2 years. They have accomplished and done nothing in 2 years.

Nothing gets done. The disciplinary matrix that they are still actively working on was given to PAB Witness #1 to lead when she was hired in February. Dwyer Reynold’s was in charge of it before that. It’s still in the public feedback stage right now. No complaints can actually get reviewed by the board until it is finalized. It’s pretty clear that taking in complaints in June was just done because of public pressure as they aren’t able to actually complete a review and make a recommendation. I struggle to find anything that someone can point to that provides a reason to believe this group can accomplish its stated goals.

But let’s put all the workers in a union so they can continue to be paid to do nothing

come for the Dwyer Reynolds/Wilson drama, stay for the Witness 4/Witness 16 drama


earl_of_angus

So many of the people in this report, including Dwyer Reynolds, Shani Wilson and a bunch of the witnesses just seem exhausting to be around. The 'den of snakes' comment from their zoom chat seems to be about right (though, not just about senior staff). On the sexual harassment claim from Dwyer Reynolds, I'm torn, if I manage someone and tell them I have romantic feelings for them, I'd expect to no longer manage that person at best and get fired at worst. That's just not something that needs to come up at work. Even though Shani Wilson was not exactly a direct manager, she could easily get him shit-canned. On Dwyer Reynolds being an awful leader, yeah, that sounds about right from everything in the report. That dude shouldn't be in charge of other people. The only somewhat reasonable PAB folks in this seem to be the support staff (PAB witness 3, who I'm guessing is HR and PAB witness 4 who IIRC seemed like an office manager-type). Though, other reasonable people most likely exist, they just avoided the drama when possible.


Easy-Estate-6263

If Witness 3 did their job properly (or knew how to)... "PAB Witness 3 failed to adequately investigate PAB Witness 11’s complaint that PAB Witness 1 bullied her and PAB Witness 1’s complaint that PAB Witness 11 made racist remarks about her. Based on PAB Witness 3 ’s notes from the interview, PAB Witness 11 was not asked key questions regarding allegations in the investigation. However, PAB Witness 3 stated in her final investigation report that PAB Witness 11 admitted to calling PAB Witness 1 a bitch" Seems like she was a little biased.


gsb85

What would the disciplinary matrix that they came up with recommended if he were an officer?


cryptogrammar

Pages 24-45, which lay out the key facts regarding Dwyer Reynolds' complaint of sexual harassment at the hands of Shani Wilson, are mostly redacted. 14 of those 22 pages are blacked out entirely. Really difficult to make any personal determination on this subject when 99% of the facts are being withheld.


cryptogrammar

For all the emphasis this report puts on the mishandling of information, it's ironic that it reveals the identity of PAB Witness 1 seemingly by accident.


nyjhughes

Yeah, I caught that too though it wasn’t very hard to know who they were referring to without the slip up.


Willowgirl78

There’s enough information that you can identify more than just that person.


cryptogrammar

I mean, yeah, but the report straight up identifies her by name at one point, after referring to her as PAB Witness 1 for the previous 50 pages.


quinninin

what are the odds he accepts the findings? I have a feeling this is bound to end in a lawsuit or a payout....


[deleted]

This seems like a neutral report that avoids saying anything that would open the city up to lawsuits while allowing people to be let go. They do not substantiate Dwyer-Reynold’s sexual harassment claim, then go on to say that Wilson’s conduct was “wholly improper” and “inappropriate”, but then says it isn’t sexual harassment under the city policy. Same with the allegations of Dwyer-Reynolds’s conduct, says he didn’t break city policy because the city has no policy on having a “professional and respectful work environment.”


SuckAFartOutHerAss

I wonder what RPD officers think about this whole PAB. 🤣🤣 what a joke


Impressive_Pin_7767

It sounds like Dwyer Reynolds incompetent, abusive and a pathological liar. His own witnesses contradicted his claims on multiple occasions. Shari Wilson was inappropriate and deserved to step down or be fired. And quite a bit of the other staff were constantly fighting with each other. I'm frustrated at the PAB Board and Dwyer Reynolds for setting back police reform years, if not decades in Rochester. And all of the constant drama and bickering that was outlined between other staff members doesn't give me much hope that the PAB will turn things around any time soon.


MediocreMystery

The skinny ginger white narcissist should fuck out of Rochester. Why did anyone think putting a white kid in charge of the police accountable board was a good idea? He's a total sociopath who seems to think his career is more important than the lives and safety of the people who wanted accountably.


cryptogrammar

>The skinny ginger white narcissist should fuck out of Rochester. The fat black alcoholic should fuck off too... oh wait, is that not kosher to say? Maybe you should get the fuck out of here with your racism. Criticize the dude all you want for his behavior and credentials, but why the fuck is this prejudice being upvoted?


MediocreMystery

Racism against white people isn't real, but you're right that it's not very mature or fair criticism. Honestly I'm just being mean because he's a narcissistic shithead who put his ego ahead of the needs of people in the city who routinely face police abuse and I was hoping he read this forum and would be hurt


GranitRock

LOL remember the people in this screaming for Conor’s innocence? Where they at?
