Really John? "ordinary citizens" don't drive over the speed limit? Are you kidding me? Enough with the "metro keeps lying" BS. The Sheriff gave a press conference with the limited information he had, which was incorrect. He then held another press conference and set the record straight. Then he waits until all the facts are in in the second tragedy to hold the press conference, and you still complain. Hire on, get elected Sheriff and show us how its done correctly. It's amazing, everyone knows how to be a cop, better than the cops themselves. I guess your a Doctor, Lawyer, Grocery clerk etc etc
To: The cop haters and the uninformed taxpayer.
It is definately a different era these days where public sentiment regarding your police force, is in the low end.
When I was a motorcycle policeman in 1986 and got hit by a drunk driver, left for dead, and then the hit and run driver was immediately arrested for DUI, nobody ever questioned the validity of the circumstances, the reporting by the news, the concern and support by public and the condemning of the suspects actions.
What has happened? What has caused the public to hate us so? And how can we go about fixing it? Give us your solutions.
Trust needs to be re-established between your police force and the people we are sworn to protect and serve.
Folks, if you only knew the half of it, and regrettably I do and so does the majority of decent hardworking honorable real cops in the police force that follow their Sworn Oath.
We are powerless at this point to purge this cancer and rid our organization of this small corrupted slime that has temporarily infected our police force and caused the general public to distrust us so.
And just for the record, I don't lie, I will tell you the truth, if I am asked, the truth is something you never have to apologize for.
just an old cop reflecting,

My prayers go out to the officer for a fast recovery and that Dana Saunders gets the help she needs.
