Driving home from work at 0200 hrs. today, I heard about the Jesse Davis story and her boyfriend, a p.o., being a suspect, and about the NINE firefighters who died in Charleston (http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/06/23/firefighters/).
I just HATE it when somebody makes it onto the police force who then destroys the reputation of so many who fight the good fight and try to foster a positive image, if not relationship with the community. If, indeed, Cutts is guilty, which, I feel, he probably is based on how few innocent people I've taken to jail, I'm just disgusted. I have seen it myself - departments spend all kinds of time and money investigating applicant backgrounds but somehow still manage to be bamboozled by a couple of, at best, jackasses, at worst, murderers. I guess I have to accept the fact that humans are humans and have flaws. I just hate seeing this kind of publicity for law enforcement.
And NINE firefighters! How does that happen? That is just heartbreaking. I don't get to chat a lot with Fire/Rescue, but I sure appreciate them. I am so sorry for the loss of these heroes. R.I.P., go with God.
