I admit to some passion, here, along with some exaggeration. But for gawd's sake, it's a gun-related, rights related board. If you can't vent here, where can you vent.

In real life, as I said, I'm very nice, calm and have good relations with the LEOs around here. I'm an email buddy of one of the Captains in the Spotsy. Sheriff's office, and a former workout partner of the Chief in Albemarle Co. But when I see good people being jerked around in the news, it gets me in a tizzy.

I realize that many, many cases go down rightfully and the ones that make the news are sensationalized. Most of the time when I go off like this, you and the Mods call me for it but at least one other poster comes back and says 'oh, yeah, B, you're right'.

So, I'm not alone. (Paranoids love company?) :)

Maybe working toward passing a law that makes it illegal for a LEO to lie, cheat, steal, be a separate class of citizen would be a way to go?

I called the Governors office today and since I'm not in good standing with them because of my constant hammering over the State Forest lunacy, got the telephone shuffle.

I finally got fed up and just sent an FOIA which is what I should have done in the first place.
I'll post a copy of the memorandum when it comes in.
