Capac was right to let Hawks go

Full story: The Times Herald

Capac officials won't earn any praise for the way they ended Raymond Hawks' employment.

There was some talk around town ahile back to do a fund raiser for a vest for Chief Hawks or for the next chief to take his place. The village does not pay for vests for the police chief, nor is there any requirement to wear one for this position. I know Chief Hawks had a vest of his own, but not the type that has armour all the way around so even if he had his on that day, his injuries would have been the same. There was no armour on the side panel where the bullet entered through his arm and into his chest. The type of vests that have armour all the way around are very expensive and hard to come by on the salary of small town cop. I would be happy to give towards a full vest for our next police chief. I think it a lot of people around here would be willing to donate a few bucks to protect our next Chief.

Saw Chief at the basketball game, it is so good to see him out there interacting with the kids. He is a great role model and he is still giving to the community even after his devastating injuries. That speaks volumes about the man. The kids love and respect him and so do the people here, regardless of the idots on the council. I don't think their parents taught them anything about character and doing the right thing. It is just sad those are the people running this town.

My apologies, I heard that you and Mr. adams expressed your displeasure over the way Chief Hawks was treated. You have our vote. Have you considered running for village president?

Daily Horoscope for May 24

Libra

This is a fantastic day for using your brain with precision and accuracy. For instance, it's great for filling in a complicated form or going through some complex paperwork because you'll find it easy to concentrate on what you're doing. It's especially good for paying attention to the sort of finicky details that you normally aren't interested in but which are right up your street.
