What the Franklin is Going On?



Last night, I found out that the rumor mill was not accurate once the meeting began. I was told that there was a rumor that Officer Franklin was going to be fired, but when the meeting started, I found that many in the community thought Chief Fortenberry was going to be fired, and Officer Franklin was his replacement. Well, needless to say, the rumor was not true. Frankin was not in line to become the new Chief of Police. However, during the meeting, there were several complaints against Officer Franklin, and they way he interact with members of our community.
We are living in the age of technology. I would suggest that those that gather at the parks for recreation begin to use their cell phones, digital cameras, and camcorders to document these alleged incidents with Officer Franklin. If his abuse of power is as rampant as represented at the meeting,his accusers need to document these events with real evidence. By capturing these moments on video would offer some leverage to those involved. Generally, people are more cautious of their words and actions once they know they are being videotaped. The use of your cell phone cameras and other equipment could help deter the alleged, abusive behavior of certain officers. Also, it would be useful if and when this evidence is presented to Chief Fortenberry.
In order to correct the ills that is plaguing the relationship between the police department and the citizens of this city, we must know what protocal to follow. If we have any complaints about police officers, the complaint must be presented to the chief and then brought to the board if it is not resolved to your satisfaction.
