"How can a man allegedly in law-enforcement be such a spineless ninny?"

Nah--he's not a "spineless ninny". He is a "public servant" who has come to think of himself as a "public master" (i.e. "jack-booted thug"). Same for all but three of the 180 police chiefs.

The RKBA (right to keep and bear arms) and concealed-carry debate is the perfect litmus test to find out how a politician REALLY feels about personal freedom and responsibility.

What is in a police chief that makes him or her anything but a political tool and a point of contact for powerful individuals to assure laws governing we, are not errantly applied to those who annointed them.

IMHO, testimony from a police chief is by it's nature, suspect at best and purgery in most cases. It's how they got the job in the first place.

Until the rank and file get a leash on these idiots, along with the FOP and other unions that support keeping the law-abiding at the mercy of thugs, there should be little more than contempt shown for law enforcement. Screw this cutting them any slack because the rank and file officers support concealed carry and RKBA, because if they really did then they would get rid of the people who represent them and use their dues money to fight concealed carry laws. They are either with us or against us.
