He probably regrets that he was not more circumspect in his comments yesterday about taking the family at their word, and this is the most tactful way of saying he’s really P.O.’d today.
I don’t blame him. He’s rightfully pissed that he believed parents who put on a big emotional act about how they were terrified for their young son’s safety, and who truned out to be lying about the whole thing to pursue their dream of endless media attention. Whatever CPS dishes out to these parents, they have it coming. I just hope the kids somehow get a sane and stable home.
It is not his job to be POed. If he is POed he should be fired immediately. Going into law enforcement means you have given up your right to opinions and you don’t have th right to have personal feelings about your job either.
You enforce the law as it is written, not as you wish it were written. Your opinion is out of bounds, not unlike military personnel are not allowed to offer political opinions.
