Pokomoke Tattler, (Billy Burke) Responds To Chief Webster Post

Joe:

It sounds like Chief Webster has enrolled in Russ Blakes School of Boss Hogg Politics in Pocomoke City.

He is walking a fine line of violating your civil rights by abusing his power to deprive you of your First Amendment Right to express 'Freedom of Speech' under "The Color of Law" against a private citizen.

Writing a letter to the editor as a private citizen who happens to be Chief of Police is one thing, calling the station owner or manager getting irate as the Chief is another thing, which is totally unacceptable.

I remember when Mayor Barrie T. came into office as an outsider on the 'reform platform' and applauded her efforts.

I personally supporter her efforts to keep the City Manager form of government OUT of Salisbury using the dictatorship of Pocomoke's Russ Blake as a prime example.

Now she looks & sounds like the Governor from the movie O'Brother where art Thou...

When you have the Chief of Police of a large city, using the power of his office, trying to shut down an independent blogger because of the truth being published, he has crossed the line into criminal behavior.

This can only mean one thing, you are hitting a nerve by publishing the truth.

Two days ago was the 75'th anniversary of Adolph Hitler's election... Maybe if there were Joe Albero's and Billy Burke's sharing the truth with people in an open forum like we have today, that NAZI would not have been elected to a second term.

Be just and fear not.

Aha...Godwin's Law in action...very impressive.

In fact, if such a conversation took place, Webster would be meddling with WMDT's 1st amendment rights. Joe's rights are intact and being exercised without obvious restraint.
