What About Zero Tolerance for Hyperbole?

RECEIVED Fri., Feb. 13, 2004

Dear Editor,
   Another police execution of an unarmed man ["Glasgow's Punishment: A 90-Day Suspension"]?! Another cop felony criminal absolved of all criminal responsibility by using APD's standard practice of "attacking the victim"?!
   This kid was guilty of nothing. How can this be a stolen car when the driver had permission to use the car?! Why are cops doing everything they can to escalate a situation into use of deadly force?!
   If anybody else shot an unarmed man driving someone else's car when no crime has been committed by the driver ... they would be charged and going to the Texas penitentiary?! Ronnie Earle needs to be disbarred and indicted for obstruction of justice in this case and many other miscarriages of justice.
   Frankly, Ronnie Earle has sanctioned a rogue, lawless, totally irresponsible goon squad known as APD who have total criminal immunity for rape, drug dealing, racketeering, murder, aggravated assault, and perjury. Where is the zero tolerance for cop felony crimes?! Where's the proactive policing of cop felony crimes?!
