All I can do is speak for myself when I say that have a personal code of ethics that I have chosen to live by regardless of personal circumstances or opportunities. Do I fall short? You bet. But I glimpse my ethics through the fog of life and use them as a guiding star.<BR/>All you can do is be satisfied that you did your best and have a good nights sleep. I have yet to see a Brinks truck following a hearse or received a phone call from any dearly departed or Jesus, so I personally feel that this trip is all there is. That is why I never concern myself with criticism from others, because if I am wrong, all I can account for is myself.<BR/><BR/> To those that would disparage anyone as they struggle through life the best they can like all of us, may the mercy you show others also be shown you in the same measure. <BR/><BR/>And Carolyn, I never mind telling my detractors they can kiss my ass on the courthouse steps. They don't pay my bills nor will they stand before God for me if there is a judgement day.

If he now has the courage to be honest with you about his brief career as chief (it is common knowledge that he was supurb detective) maybe he will give you enough information so that your embarrassment and pain will not continue. Several of us that have commented on Tommy's conduct are still on the department. It is noteworthy that the only person to defend Tommy is his loyal, uniformed, unobjective and trusting wife.

The most recently posted video of Bridgette Brown, the mayor, and the council clearly shows the extent to which they will endanger themselves, let alone compromise the interest of the citizens of Alexandria, when plainly told by three attorneys that further proceeding risked contempt of federal court as well as ethics violations by the council. Still in the face of prudent counsel, they persist to have their way, just as in many matters that Tommy was involved. I can also attest to the union's thuggish ways as I was told to be at a candidates meeting with the union and was barred at the door by one of the union officers. In many ways, APD is very professional and in the same breath can prove themselves to be as dumb as a box of rocks when dealing with the citizens they serve and protect. Have consolation that we have been making noise for about a year and a half and as half-baked as some want to accuse our blog community of being, the punks are now looking over their shoulder wondering when they will be exposed. Keep the faith and tell Tommy to not sweat the small stuff. The union is becoming obsolete in the manner they want to operate in the shadows while airing their dirty laundry and character assasination in public. The folks ain't as dumb as we look.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8946935889425242803.post-90340792096901686252007-06-16T10:55:00.000-05:002007-06-16T10:55:00.000-05:00When I got the nerve to blog again,using my name,t...When I got the nerve to blog again,using my name,the same accusations cropped up.
