We're the Only Ones Unearthed Enough

Officials say it might have been a "crime of passion" that resulted in the death of Antoinette Ross, 34, of Quincy, whose body was found Friday afternoon in a shallow grave behind the home of Lt. Barry Moore of the Chattahoochee Police Department. Moore shot himself in his front yard once he learned Ross's body had been unearthed. [More]
Shallow graves and "Only Ones"...

Seems I've heard something about that before...but where?

Comes under the heading of "If you can't thrill 'em, drill 'em." Hey, I've had about six failed relationships, but all I did was walk away. Seems like I learned something each time. Guess it's called maturity. I owned guns every time too. Never occurred to me to solve my problems with them, either. First, be right, then, go ahead.

"We have served many women who were the victims of batterers, who are members of law enforcement," said Meg Baldwin, executive director of the Refuge House in Tallahassee. "We have enough (incidents) that we train our staff specifically on how to respond to a victim who is experiencing abuse from a law-enforcement officer."

you don't say?

It seems to me that the Police are selecting the abuser mindset deliberately. The combination of personality traits that produce a man or woman (as I believe we discovered earlier) that is willing to assault their nearest and dearest is the exact combination that the police think makes a good JBT. Interesting that. If he is willing to abuse his wife and children, whom he supposedly cares for, what will he do to members of the public that he cares nothing for?

At least he shot himself as well. It really saved time and effort.
By the way, why wasn't he Lautenberged when she first reported the abuse?

The National Center for Women & Policing says domestic violence is two to four times more common among police families than non-police families in general.

Yet, citizens can't be trusted with guns or with anything else for that matter.

I'm acquainted with LEOs and correctional officer who don't treat citizens or inmates very well and then go home and don't treat their families any better. Its' an authority thing.
