I doubt if it was meant to be as negative as it looks in print.

I sincerely try my best never to question the actions taken by those doing their job to protect us even if it goes against my way of thinking. Sir I salute you and anyone wearing the uniform of public servants.



Thanks, I try to let thing like that run of my back like water off a duck. I’m a retired firefighter of 35 years and served my country in the Army Eco 3/32 Inf, and my State In the Florida National Guard Dco 2/124 Inf. The point is I have committed my life to public safety, and being called a killer just made the hair on my neck standup. I have worked with 1000s of Village residents and 99% or just downright good people, the 1% may have just been having a bad day. Always said if I see him out and about the Village I going to offer to buy him a beer, and talk to him about what ever. Sorry I let it get to me, should have stayed focused on Steve and what he did to save his dog.
