Former Windcrest Police Chief Jimmie Cole defended his decision to file over a dozen ethics complaints against city officials and residents, citing altercations with an animal rescue group and negative social media posts as reasons.
Fired Windcrest police chief Jimmie Cole said he had a responsibility to file more than a dozen ethics complaints against some councilmembers and other Windcrest residents. Cole, who was terminated by the city council last month, told KSAT that altercations between members of TxWeAct, an area animal rescue group, and employees of the police department, as well as negative social media posts from people belonging to the group, forced him to step in.
Cole gathered social media posts from members of the group and included them in his formal complaints. The posts accuse city animal control, which fell under Cole’s supervision as police chief, of mistreating animals and not providing them the proper level of care. Cole said he expected the complaints to have a deterrent effect on those engaging in unethical conduct. Many of the complaints were heard and dismissed by the city’s ethics commission in recent months
