Solomon said his department is investigating to determine if any laws were broken |
| Bloise said most constables have some form of law enforcement training, and that in his case he has a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and has graduated from the police academy. |

I was taking a cell phone call where I needed to write some info down. So I pulled into the Home Depot Lot and this freaky bastard came up to the passenger side of my car and and just stared at me. Then he walked away towards his whacker wagon. |

Well, now there's a poignant, mature response. Assuming that I am the "retard" in question, I shall take the opportunity to enlighten you, sir, on few gentle facts. The word "retard" is exceptionally offensive, and should generally be avoided at all costs. I would prefer to be referred to as"asshole" henceforth. "Bitch" or "bastard" are also a tad more acceptable, particularly as they may be gender-specific, but until you have a degree in special education, Delta...lay off "retard". Further, it was a newsworthy story, and one I found worthy of delving into in "Masscops" as I was wondering what the PROFESSIONAL opinions of my brother/sister officers would be, now I know yours. I am unduly impressed. |

And as far as the term "retard" goes. I dont belive any Special Eduction professionals would use that term to describe a patient or student in their care. The term has evolved in popular usage in the same fashion that idiot, lunatic, and madman has. I wouldnt take it personally... |

I told him to get back in the car and he takes out some gold badge and flashes it at me. Guess who he was, yes a constable. |

Under Mass Appeals Court decision, AKA law...constables cannot use the state seal for anything.

I have worked directly with Bloise on many occasion and this one incident does not change my opinion of him. He has been a constable for over 20 years and this is the first time he has ever had a newspaper article written about him (are any of you surprised that it is a negative article?). What about all the good work he has done over his 2 decades of service to the Commonwealth? I find it disturbing that as members of law enforcement you were all quick to jump to the conclusion that this constable is cerifiable. You should all know that everyone points the finger at us when we make a mistake but no one is ever there to say "thank you" or "good job". Don't you think if this guy was such a "whacko", that he would have done something like this before? Don't you think he would have had his license revoked? Come on guys, really...I would put money that each and every one of you have made a mistake (that you thought was minor) that turned out to be a fairly big deal.
I don't mean to preach but I could not sit by and watch everyone trash a good person. |

You have A) seized the badge off the street B) made him think twice about flashing it ever again C) at least dried up one source to get a replacement badge and D) have said charge on his BOPP. Positive results in Court are the proof....I have done it. |
