The Bears stood by and supported Tank Johnson throughout a series of transgressions, but violating the club?s no-tolerance policy cost him his job. The Bears on Monday waived the troubled defensive tackle, who was pulled over and arrested by police in Arizona at 3:30 a.m. Friday. ?We are upset and embarrassed by Tank?s actions last week,? said general manager Jerry Angelo. ?He compromised the credibility of our organization. We made it clear to him that he had no room for error. Our goal was to help someone through a difficult period in his life, but the effort needs to come from both sides. It didn?t, and we have decided to move on.? Johnson was released from Cook County Jail May 13 after serving 60 days for a probation violation stemming from a gun charge. On June 3, he was suspended by the NFL without pay for the first eight games of the regular season for violating the league?s personal conduct policy. While Johnson was in jail, he was visited by several members of the Bears organization including Angelo, coach Lovie Smith, chairman of the board Michael McCaskey and several teammates. ?A lot of people within our organization gave extra time and energy to support Tank: players, coaches and our front office,? Smith said. ?We did our best to establish an environment for him to move forward. Ultimately, Tank needed to live up to his side of the deal.?
