Putting Crime in Boquete into Perspective

Every morning I scan CNN on-line to see what's going on around the world and came across this article about what happened in a small community in Alabama, USA. The reason I'm posting this is to really put crime issues in Boquete into perspective.

"Retiring officer gets reprimand on his last day on job for wearing wrong color shirt" http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/11/police.uniform.ap/index.html While there are many reasons why so many of us have left the States, including invasion of privacy and the government essentially shreading the Constitution, this one article on CNN pushed my buttons, so to speak. A police officer that honorably served for 35 years was reprimanded all because on his day of retirement he wore the pre-Katrina unifo… Continue
