Almost is NOT good enough. That and $2.00 will get you on the Subway in NYC.
Yeah, they sure stood tall during the Elian Gonzales case.
Let's hear it for Florida officers doing their duty. F'n bastards!
PEOPLE v. ARCHERD (1970) 3 C3d 615
"...The lapse of time between the various offenses and the indictment of defendant on July 27, 1967, is considerable but is adequately explained by the record. The murder weapon in each case was unique, insulin. The deaths of each of these victims were initially attributed to causes other than a criminal agency. Suspicion of insulin and of defendant as the person administering the insulin was not aroused until the death of Zella in 1956. It was not until years later, after much painstaking and persistent investigation by law enforcement officers, and the discovery of advances made in {Page 3 Cal.3d 621} medical knowledge and techniques, that sufficient evidence could be accumulated to charge defendant with these deaths. Unfortunately, by then other of defendant's victims had lost their lives. This is the only known reported case of murder by insulin poisoning in the United States. Only one other, reported world-wide, occurred in England in 1956. ..."
"...Dr. Grace Fern Thomas, a psychiatrist and an expert in insulin shock therapy, and director of the insulin shock department at the time defendant was at Camarillo, testified as to the procedures on the ward. A precise dosage of insulin was measured for each person at a particular time. At a specific level that patient would go into shock in approximately two hours after the injection. Patients do not progress at the same level. Careful watch must be kept of the pulse, color, blood pressure, general condition, and neurological signs, such as pupillary changes and body motions. When a patient is going into progressive stages of coma he sweats very profusely and breathes very heavily. Saliva is secreted in large amounts, mucous flows freely and mixes with the saliva, and the patient must be carefully watched, turned, or assisted so that he does not aspirate the fluid into his lungs. Otherwise bronchopneumonia may develop, leading to death. The gag reflex and the cornea reflex are lost. Convulsions may occur, and medication is given to prevent this. The extremities may stiffen. At a relatively deep level of coma the Babinski test (scatching the sole of the foot in a certain manner) will cause a reflex known as the Babinski response (toes fan out). The patient must be brought out of the coma within 10-15 minutes thereafter. This is done by administering glucose through gastric tubes, and if this is not effective, glucose is administered intravenously to raise the blood sugar.
I'd be backing Bush today big-time if he'd have ordered his men in there and stopped this murder. Let's hear it for officers that facilitate murder!
This entire situation is a sad mess, top to bottom.
Then why doesn't Gov. Bush tell them "You work for me. You will not enforce that order. If you attempt to enforce that order, you will be placed on administrative leave pending termination for failure to follow my order"?
Whichever cop said that should be promptly charged with sedition.What's wrong with these cops down thare hell bent on murder. I guess once the south always the south.

WTH. Both Bush's are the executors here. They are the top executives in the US and Florida. They could order the local cops to move the hell out of the way if need be.
I'm usually the first guy to slam violence, but you know what, nobody minds it when an innocent woman who never did anything to anyone is killed. I'm not very sympathetic to the sunken forehead crowd tonight, whether they're wearing blue or not.
It's time to send in the marines.
The cops don't work directly for the Governor. The folks who do the hiring and firing run the County, I believe.
This woman is being starved to death and no matter what the circumstances that caused her collapse her so called husband is killing her!
And the left finally wins one!
Sick!
I can't really blame the South for Pinellas County. The Gulf Coast is largely Midwest retirees.
I hear someone tipped them off. Death worshippers everywhere...
I hope this shows that Jeb was serious. He only backed off to avert a state of FL civil war. Those who think Jeb was not going to act are wrong, he only backed off to avert a major firefight over Terri. I know some would still want that, but I think Jeb made the right call in the end.
Local police work for the municipality (either City Police or County Sheriff), not the State of Florida. They do not report to Jeb.
