This will not produce much damage, but it will thrill the Obamamaniacs a little. I believe most voters will think Todd Palin was doing what any normal husband would do if a crazed ex-brother-in-law was threatening his loved ones. And Gov. Palin asked him to “drop it.” Add to that the fact that Monegan was insubordinate, and that he was serving at the governor’s pleasure.
The minute I had a deputy appear in a squad car drunk....driving it...I’d fire him that day. He would lose public confidence in his ability to carry out the law. If I didn’t see him drive the car drunk...then I’d ask for witnesses and have the whole thing recorded for public record, just to protect the town from a legal situation.
Most cops throughout America really don’t get it. If you lose public confidence in their ability....then you aren’t the law. I don’t care what badge you carry or what school you graduated from...its a matter of trust. Either you have it or you don’t.
