Frank Milstead: “Look, if you have things that you've paid the price for…”

“Milstead, who was Mesa's police chief back then, encouraged his officers to purge old disciplinary cases from their personnel files. He still thinks that's a good idea. Look, if you have things that you've paid the price for, that you've been disciplined for, that are eligible to be purged by MESA policy, you should do that.
