Officers witnessed the vandalism Saturday afternoon but did not arrest three people seen damaging the memorial because they were "exercising the same freedom of speech that the people who put up the flags were," said La Habra Police Capt. John Rees.
La Habra Police Capt. John Rees needs to be suspended until he can demonstrate that he understands the law.
John Rees is a politically-correct guy with a bright future in modern law enforcement.
I'll bet his family, colleagues, and acquaintances admire him.
A future Police Chief, for sure.
