Freudian typo?
A letter to the editor contains a telling misspelling: while discussing the case of Hamilton County's recently-made-former sheriff, writer Andy Whitwell soberly reminds us that law enforcement departments are treated to too little inspection by the public, and that as a result, corruption is allowed to fester. I could not but smile at this part, though:
Perhaps it is because we have created a monster by not understanding the negative effects on a person of giving them a gun, a badge, and unlimited authority as well as blind trust.Nationwide it has become evident that for the good of the department and society as well, we should keep a more vigilante eye on their behavior. You can do an officer no greater injustice than to turn him loose on society with absolutely no oversight.
I can just see it now: neighborhood posses taking the law into their own hands, going after no-good cops.
