Jefferson County Sheriff defends soldier's funeral procession

JEFFERSON COUNTY — The Jefferson County sheriff has offered a stern response to a woman complaining she was inconvenienced by a procession accompanying a soldier's casket.

...

Boyer is a Vietnam veteran. He said Thursday he didn't intend for the e-mail to be widely released.

--------------------------------------

The original email was sent to Sheriff Glenn Boyer on Thursday, August 27. Below is the citizen's email followed by Sheriff Boyer's response.

I tried to call you earlier this morning, but was unable to obtain your extension from the voice mail system as I was not sure of your first name or correct spelling of your last.

I was inadvertently in this procession as I was leaving work on 270 from Creve Coeur and proceeding on Hwy. 30 West. I have some issues and complaints. I called the Sheriff's office last night, but the officer in charge would not speak with me. His name was Corp. Curtis. I am in no way complaining about your officers. I, however, was not treated very fairly when I called last evening because I wanted a ticket/complaint/or at least a slap on wrist for the people involved. Let me explain:

...

Dear XXXXX:

Yes, you do deserve a response and I am willing to give you one.

I would like to say that I am sorry for the inconvenience we caused you during the funeral procession of Sergeant 1st Class William B. Woods, but I cannot do so. I would ask instead that you take a moment of your time to take into consideration the scope of the event. Your very right to complain was the reason Sgt. Woods fought for his country and ultimately gave his life; thus making the ultimate sacrifice for you and your family.

You have to read both emails (right side of the page) entirely to get the full picture. Liberal nut vs American patriot.

I like the she worked in "I left an abusive husband" angle - nice touch to become the victim.

What ave you the impression she was a leftist? I just got that she was a huffy b*tch.

[Vigilantcitizen]

What a self serving b*tch. Hope she feels stupid after this was published.

Sheriff Boyer handled it very well, if she chooses to pursue it she will only suffer further embarrassment.

Thanks for posting.

This is not about the crass idiot who wrote a badly composed whine fest. Skip right on past and read the response from the officer. That's what this story is about.

God bless and keep the wife and children of Sgt. William “Brian” Woods.

Thanks to Sheriff Boyer and to all of our men that have served, especially those that paid the ultimate price.

May we continue to pray for their families! Most of sit and drive in the most comfortable cars; with air, and with radios, ajustable seats, etc. in lieu of carping and complaining, let us give thanks, for our many blessings!!!!

D@mn!!!!!

What a SMACKDOWN!

Sheriff Boyer for POTUS! (Or for Sarah’s VPOTUS)

I left an abusive husband

Yeah, right. I'd like to hear his side of it

Sheriff Glenn Boyer handled this whining woman perfectly. He did not use her name in his published e-mail but made it crystal clear that her complaint was selfish (the Sheriff characterized it as 'self-serving') and her annoyance over the dead soldier's uncle berating her (we only have her version) was completely uncalled for. Few Sheriffs would have the guts to confront a whining citizen with a baseless complaint in this forthright manner.

Sheriff Boyer chastised the woman complainant for considering her temporary inconvenience more important than giving the respect due the fallen soldier who fought and died for his county to defend the right of the whiny woman to complain about being a bit inconvenienced. He shamed her and pointedly did not apologize. Sheriff Boyer did so with civility and decorum and without the kind of puerile equivocation local law enforcement sometimes display when critized by some whiny citizen over some trifle.

Bravo, Sheriff Boyer!

Outstanding response by the sheriff, specially when explaining that one of the bikers was Sgt. William Woods’ uncle a Vietnam Veteran.

He is no hero. He is an arrogant prick, who happened to be mostly right in this particular circumstance.
