I am a long time supporter of the police departments. I have many friends in law enforcement but this still smacks of a double standard to me. I'm proud of them for the job they do. Very few people have the courage to pin on a badge and make themself a target. It is a thankless job and dangerous but they are no more entitled to special consideration in a case like this than any citizen. If they're going to press the issue like this when they're threatened, they'd best not ever let another person become victimized by a spouse with a restraining order or such.


Oh nooo, you took me wrong, I started out asking that no one take me wrong on this issue, that I think Florence did exactly what they should have done. Shoot, I half raised a lot of cops around here when I ran my teen baby sitting service... I know a boatload of them... that isnt the issue, I have respect for the majority of them...

Issue was, I am just glad to see that threats are being taken seriously now.... thats all. I followed it up with an example... thats all... and I meant no disrespect to anyone, especially those who pin that badge on and put their lives in harms way almost every day.

I am glad to see some of the changes finally roll around... ohhh, I might add also, that this was right BEFORE the stalker laws were in effect too.
