Please elaborate on he "totally incompetent Sanford PD."
Fact is they followed the law despite the political pressure of a community activist and it cost the chief his job. He is an example of what we all need for upper mngt in a PD. One who will NOT cower to the political correct or the "will" of a sect of people. What your missing is he did what no politician will do....he would not falter and abdicate his sworn obligation even in the face of special interest groups. AND when the local DA got the case, they too refused to press charges. It was a bad case from day 1.
Law is emotionless yet most continue to present feeling and emotion. Most had already made up their mind due to the media reports. I went back and forth as well after hearing the see - saw of nonsense that was spewed our way. Its human nature.
But not matter what you feel he was set free...that is a verdict that should be respected as it was legitimately come about. THis case reaks of whats wrong in America in so many facets on both sides. Yet we all keep on doing the same [censored] thing and expecting a different result. Isn't that the definition of ignorance??
Our politicians want and NEED this divide. Keeps us all busy and off of how they are screwing us. All of them, not just D's or R's. If I'm and educator in FL how do you not be embarrassed when a 19 year old woman, speaking English, had to have subtitles for the rest of the world to understand what she was saying? That is a school district failure which is a failure of society as a whole.
This once case has us all in a frenzy, yet 500 children dead in Chicago warrants barely a blerb in the media...oh wait, political. Yet in Mexico over 50k dead and that's not anything we involve ourselves in. Are we that ignorant and numb as a nation we only ponder what the media sets before us?
Maybe it's me...and I'm sure you will flame my [censored] but IDC what side you are on there are two adults (under the law they are adults) who BOTH engaged in an event unwittingly knowing how bad it would turn out. Either way BOTH knowingly engaged. This was a street not someones private property. Why aren't we outraged and publicizing events that occur in all states with a 100% unknowing victim and true perpetrator with clear and present malice?? Because the media didn't say we need to stand uo and scream?
