PS 

Many people are "undertrained" to be around that uniform!  I did see a group of cops at a coffee shop, and when they offerred my daughter a sticker..it was all I could do to hide my fear and TRY to smile.  A>C RIP

Go away SAM A.

Training idea; Cops need to get out of their cars...walk around.  Choose a coffee shop!

ADams blind ambition is disrespectful to anyone that has ever been The First.  To be the first gay mayor of a larger city, Adams has obviously faced more scrutiny. 

So...how dare he think that he was not required to have his act together?! 

This mistake is his fatal flaw, and he should remove himself, or the public should do it...especially, in this celebratory year of the ultimate striver, President Obama!
