280 mesa cops are angry because they are being punished for breaking the rules.

Police said 148 employees are slated for suspensions, and 134 face written reprimands. The five most serious offenders face a 30-day suspension, and 22 face a week suspension. A similar audit last year ended with the disciplining of 230 other workers. Mesa Fraternal Order of Police President Bryan Soller said many of the e-mails were humorous, and most of employees have never been disciplined. "When they sent it, they didn't think it was anything that would get them in trouble, and all of a sudden they are. I think it is wrong," Soller said. "It has really crushed morale."
