From the the article. It speaks volumes of the LEO mentality. For the record the Prosecutor works for the county and for unbiased justice....ha. Worthy is the County Prosecutor.

But Officer Ronald Griffin, a 15-year veteran, said his fellow officers are "furious" at Worthy.

"Police are wondering what side of the badge she's on," he said. "There's no way Weekley should have been charged. It's one thing to stand on the sideline and Monday morning quarterback, but it's not until you get into the game you see how fast things can happen. This could possibly be a huge morale killer."

And yet, if one of us did this, we would have the book thrown at us. Police are NOT above the law.

I know.. can you Imagine??
Not being the only one 'special enough' to carry a firearm, not being able to threaten and kill people and then claim special privilege, not being able to justify almost any action under the guise of "officer safety" or "all I care about it going home alive at night?"
Sickening, it almost makes them sound like paid employees of the city/state instead of "front line soldiers in the war on crime."


Is it too early to mention the irony between 'morale killer' and being an actual killer of innocent people?

first thing i've heard of that Worthy seems to have done right. hopefully she's on the side of the badge that's against killing children.
