Police union takes on councilwoman over column

Why must we always throw our fellow officers under the bus and expose them and their short comings and try to humiliate them in a public form? No one is perfect, we all make mistakes. Some mistakes are big and some are small. He has been punished enough without you trying to cause further embarrassment. I have to ask, what do you get out of humiliating a fellow officer? Does it make you feel better about yourself or something you have done? What you and other officers who post on this site and fail to realize is that at any time your name could appear on this website also because of a mistake you made. I don't know who you are, but I would hope that you and others who drop officers names on this site realize what you all are doing and putting other officers through. I'm not saying that what he did was OK or that it should be excused, but if it did not have an effect on you why trash him. If it did, why not confront him face to face , like a man, instead of hiding behind a keyboard on an anonymous site?

No disrespect to you at all. I just want to understand why.
