Hi, Ed, I think that statutory rape must be the new trend for Trenton police. I know of another police officer who impregnated a 17-year-old girl he met on duty. This girl is younger than his daughter, and if that’s not enough, he is prejudiced against African-Americans. I see this as a major problem for Doug Palmer and the new police director. How can you protect and serve people that you are prejudiced against? How can you be a guardian for children when you’re committing the same crimes that you have a duty to prevent? It is my sincere hope that Doug Palmer and the new police director clean up their own department before committing to cleaning the city.

Let’s hope this officer’s prejudice comes to light internally before it leads to an ugly incident on the street.—Ed. Note
