The indictment was part of a wider grand jury investigation into the Police Department that was initiated in early August, said a spokesman for the State Attorney’s Office.
THIS PERSON COULD BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. PLEASE VOTE FOR OBAMA/BIDEN ON NOVEMBER 4TH.
Flipping through old photographs, papers, and home movies recently, I can't help but become overcome with a sense of longing for the past. Long before I was Officer Matthew Campisi, I was little Matt Campisi riding his bicycle through the horse trails of a local park. Boy, do the years fly by fast. People come and go but those who are truly special remain. Times certainly have changed haven't they? I couldn't imagine living without a computer now. 25 years ago, if I wanted to jot down some thoughts for posterity, I'd write it in a journal. Today I have an online blog and my thoughts made viewable for any interested party anywhere in the world. It's times like these that I am reminded of Bernie's message, Please, cook the supreme meal he said.
Those of you who know me, know that I have somewhat of a love/hate relationship when it comes to law enforcement. On the one hand, I do love the adrenalin rush of chasing after a bad-guy and slapping the handcuffs on someone who has just hurt someone or stolen something that someone has worked so very hard to attain. It really makes me feel awesome giving back to my community and helping my neighbors who are in need. --- On the other hand, the realities of everyday police work can definitely take there toll. I detest egotistical alpha males (and females) and this type reigns supreme in this line of work. I have witnessed some who have abused their authority, were downright ignorant, racist, corrupt, and dishonest. But not all of the guys are bad. Some are decent human beings who respect the communities that they serve and do a damn good job of keeping the streets safer. The public definitely under-appreciates the job that cops do and is sometimes quick to paint all cops with a very broad brush. Remember that cops are people too. They come in all colors, shapes, sizes, sexes, and not all of them think the same (as some of you may believe). There are even a few progressives mixed into the ranks...
O.J. Simpson found guilty on all counts in Las Vegas kidnapping, robbery case. Thirteen years to the day after O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murder, a Las Vegas jury convicted him of all 12 counts in a kidnapping and armed robbery case.
The nagging question remains...What if Sarah Palin became President? Her performance at last night's debate really caused this question to eat away at me. While there is no doubt that her coaches were able to get her to a place where she could regurgitate prepared responses without looking completely foolish (i.e. Katie Couric interview)...Even at her seemingly best, I was very very frightened for America. She had a hard time answering many of the simple questions put forth. This person is not ready to be Secretary of Interior, let alone Vice-President of the United States. We HAVE to get this right America! My vote is for Obama/Biden.
