Questionable cop justice

Not knowing more about the case than that she struck a handcuffed

    suspect on the head with a metal flashlight, I would conclude that

    Westerly police sergeant, Lauren Matarese, was lucky to keep her job.

          Perhaps she was instinctively trying to help subdue a very

    disorderly drunk. Judge Dimitri did call her action " stupid ".

           But I wonder if - like  one  New York City policeman - she had

    been seen  wearing  a " black face " in a tasteless and racist parade

    skit , would she get away with just being a little " stupid "  ?

            Or is political incorrectness - a non-crime - a far more serious

    offense for an officer of the law ?

            That New York City police officer was indeed stupid. But he has

    as much right to be a racist as anybody else in New York - as long as

    he acts like a professional on the job . To be sure, he is no candidate

    for a promotion in a racially sensitive city .

            Honest liberals must learn to leave a person's soul alone !
