If Tony Armstrong cared at all about the civilians in this city and protecting the dignity that police are SUPPOSED to have, then Alex Beard, that police officer that MURDERED two people by driving wrecklessly,would have been charged with vehicular homicide and wouldnt still be receiving our tax dollars in the form of a paycheck. But he's still free, still getting a paycheck, and that family has to suffer the loss without any justice from the people who are supposed to protect and uphold justice. Armstrong should be ashamed of himself.

Some of these officers need help - the dependencies rate must be staggering and I'd guess that it's "not ok" for police men and women to ask for help or appear weak. (when in fact admitting you have a problem is NOT weak at all)....I'd hope the city would look into those needs. I could never do "their" job - we should all have this same respect. Then there are just plain bad apples and they need to go. Thanks to all who serve.
