It’s officers like him that give good officers a bad name. Most of them are good but unfortunately the bad ones get the publicity. He wasn’t apologizing because he was sorry, only because he got caught.
And they wonder why everytime they call and ask me to donate money to the policeman’s fund, I say NO!
The greenville news said he told the judge” he realized he made a mistake”
I got news for you, PURPOSELY writing love letters, PURPOSELY kissing and fondling 14 yo girls, and PURPOSELY committing adultry are not “mistakes”!
so, why isn’t the man in prison?
