If any Lincolnites think that the rare ...Well said! If any Lincolnites think that the rare LPD bad apple is ominous, they need to look at what sometimes pops up in other law enforcement agencies. For example - <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoinette_Frank" REL="nofollow">Antoinette Frank</A> and the NOLAPD. She's currently on LA's death row.<BR/><BR/>I imagine that no one hates a bad cop more than all the good cops. In any large organization, you're going to get a clinker now and then, but I'd like to think that someone as screwed-up as Frank couldn't even make it past the first interview at LPD.<BR/><BR/>It's not just law enforcement. Back during my time in uniform, <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clayton_Lonetree" REL="nofollow">Clayton Lonetree</A> was my branch's most infamous bad apple. No one wanted to see him up against the wall and in a box more than we did, but he got off light for his serial betrayal. The Navy had <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Anthony_Walker" REL="nofollow">John Walker</A> and his treasonous kin, and so on and so forth. How he didn't get the noose for that one is beyond me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-66515708845258567602008-08-17T08:43:00.000-05:002008-08-17T08:43:00.000-05:00J.D or J.A. ???J.D or J.A. ???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-24785603138208424282008-08-16T12:36:00.000-05:002008-08-16T12:36:00.000-05:00Actually 'a while' is a relative term.

Sure, there are a few things that could be improved and maybe even a few citizens didn't get the result they were looking for from the police department. Even I got a few surprises of my own dealing with certain people. But it is a life lesson to not get involved with that situation again. I wish you the best of luck. I don't think the chief will be taking a vacation again for another ten years and by that time blogging will have gone out with bell bottoms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
