While that is certainly an exaggeration,the police are responsible for their overall negative public perception.Blunders at the top do nothing to dissuade the public of this perception.Smittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07139334681820382879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-80954596886270792822007-07-04T07:42:00.000-04:002007-07-04T07:42:00.000-04:00Luke's hiring of White makes Luke an athletic supp...Luke's hiring of White makes Luke an <A HREF="http://www.sweatshop.co.uk/cw2/assets/product_full/24531001.jpg" REL="nofollow">athletic supporter</A>, no?Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10439330154875628083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-13621629212436180902007-07-04T01:03:00.000-04:002007-07-04T01:03:00.000-04:00I love the idea of security cameras. I just heard ...I love the idea of security cameras. I just heard that some were placed in Lawrenceville and have made a huge difference. I can't understand why people are against this idea. I would even welcome them where I live which isn't as bad as other places. <BR/>If people don't want them I can only speculate that they don't want to get caught doing something wrong.<BR/><BR/>I at first was dissapointed at Nate Harper for giving these promotions without waiting for the outcome of the cases. After giving it some serious thought I respect Nate Harper and his decision. <BR/>Nate is not a self serving individual and didn't do this for personal gain, that's so not like him. Knowing Nate, he selected the best individuals for the job. I highly doubt that Nate is going to ruin his own impeccible record by promoting 3 individuals that are not the best and are going to be a problem down the road. A high test score on a written test doesn't always mean that person is qualified for a higher position. Nate's worked with these men and would know what they are capable of. Nate is a great guy and one of the best I can think of wearing the uniform. <BR/>I can't say anything about David White as I don't know him and I agree with Matt he, as everyone else should be given the chance.<BR/>As for Anon. above WE ARE voters so we do merit the right to say<BR/>"Always give someone a chance who hasn't done anything wrong". <BR/>If you're always out there trying to "catch" someone doing something wrong you'll probably find something on everyone as I can't think of anyone that's perfect. <BR/>After reading some of the out of control mean and hateful things I can see why more people don't run for office. An honest discussion is healthy but people on here talking about spouses and making fun of appearances is just plain wrong. It truthfully makes me want to vote for the people that are the butt of the jokes. It's the same for voters that get fed up with the negative political ads. <BR/>To ease anyone's mind, I'm just an <BR/>everyday voter who occasionally reads blogs and seldom comments(Comet being my favorite)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-25061389726209767442007-07-03T22:35:00.000-04:002007-07-03T22:35:00.000-04:00"Always give someone a chance who hasn't done anyt..."Always give someone a chance who hasn't done anything wrong". Nice sentiment, but can we set the bar any lower? It's bad enough that people have that attitude about Luke - this is a democracy, not a monarchy - they have to prove themselves to the voters, not sit back and hope we don't catch them doing "anything wrong".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-80203834716796034522007-07-03T17:52:00.000-04:002007-07-03T17:52:00.000-04:00Usually Doug is good at spotting good people.I'll ...Usually Doug is good at spotting good people.<BR/><BR/>I'll trust the hire until he does something wrong.
