Most cops are told not to talk to the media. And if you do the wrath of the Chief may befall you. Also, today it seems to me that Ward Cleaver has run off with a younger woman, doesn't pay his child support and has left his wife to raise his kids, who listen to obscene music, use obscene language and walk all over her.

So old June got together with other June's and petitioned their lawmakers to have "Daddy Government" come in and raise the little darlins.

Personally I'd rather be riding around eating sinkers and drinking bad coffee than raising other people's kids. But, that's why they pay me the big bucks.

A few things: true, I can understand why a cop wouldn't want to talk to the media, and I understand why this particular story made the front page of the Boston Herald. But you've got to admit, the Whitman force hasn't really issued an explanation as to why the cop in question acted the way he did. It would seem to any rational person that if they could, they would, so that they didn't makes it seem like they have something to hide.

I take it you are a cop. My beef isn't with cops per se; just cops who can't seem to use common sense. I'm a suburban guy, and here, or police forces seem to be made up of Rambo wanna-be hard guys who still need to feel like the baddest mother effers in the schoolyard.
