Why call people names? I think we are all well aware she more than likely took off on her own. That does not mean she isn't in danger. Someone could have picked her up or worse.

Frankfort Police Board Wants Frightened Victim to Testify against Cop

Frankfort's Fire and Police Commission wants the alleged victim of Frankfort cop Donald Walsh to testify before a disciplinary hearing, reports the Sun-Times Media.

Prosecutors added a count of residential burglary to a Frankfort cop's felony domestic battery case.

I have worked in law enforcement for many years and know many fine people. Sure some of them are just like you, prone to misbehavior and poor judgement, but 99% of them are fine upstanding people who are in a position in which they have to force people to follow the laws that decent society has enacted. Unfortunately, in today's world the misbehaved outnumber the well behaved. I hear that bananas…   more ›

I agree, Jose. I don't think printing photos or names of accused but not proven guilty is right. It's more a tabloid mentality.   more ›
