Bellamy-Small shows disrespect for the law

It is no wonder to me that T. Dianne Bellamy-Small didn't succeed as a police officer. She obviously didn't even know the laws that she was supposed to enforce. She should have known that she is required by law to produce a driver's license when requested to do so by an officer.

What bothers this retired police officer the most is her dishonesty as a councilwoman and her intimidating tactics. Those are not traits becoming of someone who was supposed to uphold the law as an officer and as an elected citizen. I am offended by persons such as she who flaunt their stature as being almost untouchable whenever they have committed a wrong.

Greensboro citizens, wake up. You have a cancer among you that will continue to grow if it is not treated right away. I am embarrassed for you. Obviously, placing one's hand on the Bible and swearing an oath doesn't have as much meaning to some as for others.

Thank you so much, Monte. I'm embarrassed for you, and by the fact you felt compelled to weigh in on such a Small, pardon the pun, issue.

Oh, and we're gonna try to shake off our protracted sleep so we can be as quick in getting rid of DBS as you were of getting rid of a criminal Sheriff.
Thanks again!

Darn it Deacon! You beat me to the quip! Of course let's make sure folks know whom you reference: That would be "No Deals Hege!" The elected criminal who TOOK a deal when offered. The larger travesty in that is that a deal was even offered!

However, we must admit, this LTTE writer is pretty much on target. Just as with the Hege thing, even the outsiders can see the problem and hope/desire for justice!

Shalom

Uh-oh, DemonDeacon. NOW look what's happened! The issue has spilled over COUNTY lines, not just city limits. What next ... Virginia? South Carolina? Canada? Madagascar, for heaven's sake?!

Gotta be good news for TDBS, though. There's an old saying ..."There's no such thing as BAD publicity." If I were she, I'd be thinking, "Book signing tour ... speaking engagements (by fax, of course) ... Oprah ...."

Wonder if she's lined up an agent yet. Hmmmm.

There is no pun. The N&R made the same mistake on the caption of an article the other day.

Her name is Bellamy-Small. Ever hear of her going by just Small?

So the issue is a Bellamy-Small issue. No pun there.
