Well, I have held my tongue all day, but this last was the tipping point. "If you can't say anything nice....."
Today's conversation on this forum has been deafening by the total silence of the main topic of conversation on this forum for the last couple of weeks, namely, the Porter case. Ms Gross used up her two postings before 6 AM with no mention at all of the fact that Officer Jundra voluntarily took a lie detector test and passed. While this does not finish the investigation by a long shot, it certainly did prompt a some interesting quotes from the Rev Staten and Rep Ellison. "If you can't say anything nice" seems a bit late coming from someone who seems to feel that officer safety is a misuse of tax money and gives the impression that police officers lives are expendible. Yes, the investigation is far from over. However, if the officers are exonerated, I still am not going to hold my breath waiting for an apology from any of the people who 'tried the police in the press' and engaged in 'public shenanogans'. This will be the third time this year that allegations have been made against MPD, been investigaed by OUTSIDE agencies and found to be unfounded. In the meantime, my neighborhood and others along with the whole police dept have been put thru hell and torn apart by our so called 'community leaders'. Shame on you all. At least have the grace to say that you may be wrong if not sorry. If the list manager feels this is too personal, well it ain't anywhere near as personal as what the accused police officers and their families are going thru. Anne McCandless Jordan REMINDERS: 1.
