Today I read the Journal Star online, like I do most mornings, and chose to comment on the article about the ex-police officer busted for soliciting sex from an undercover officer. My comment was a reply to someone who stated that it was unfair the officer got fired for propositioning an undercover officer when there is so much infidelity in the Peoria Police Department. I replied to the person that he wasn’t fired for soliciting sex, he was fired for associating with a known drug dealer. When I reread the comments later this afternoon the comment about infidelity is gone and so is my reply. I didn’t feel this person’s comment, although ignorant of the facts stated in the article, met the standards that warranted its removal. I have seen such ugly rants about all sorts of things that are allowed to remain but questioning an officer’s fidelity is grounds for removal. No wonder no one really takes the Journal Star seriously anymore!
