Dear Readers,
The Daily News-Record (Harrisonburg, VA) published an opinion article I wrote
regarding "administrative forgiveness" government police provide to each other.
As it is no longer available on their free website, I have included the text
below.
"When Average Joe is accused of a crime, long before trial the police release
his identity and mug shots. This is public shaming and perhaps means a stained
or ruined life. In contrast, when a member of The Brotherhood perpetrates the
exact same act, and the bureaucracy decides it doesn't want to prosecute, it is
forever locked away as a "confidential personnel matter." The word for this is
hypocrisy. "

Take a few minutes to check it out -- it will be available on their website for
free until 11/23/2011.
A slightly modified version is available on my blog:
