For those of you who didn't see the Tampa Tribune today, Connie Burton is on the front page, in an article speaking on how unfair the "one strike" rule is used and how Connie's son Narada is the root of her trouble, and that her other two children have "remained mostly trouble free". Clearly the writer and the editor have not heard of the HCSO web-site where one can see more than five felony charges on Emvory Burton, including three Battery on Law enforcement, three resist without charges and a resist with. One of these occured back in the days of fire-house in the living room of Connie Burton, which also resulted in Connie's arrest that night (also no mention of that in the article).
Probably the most upsetting part of this would be the fact that the tribune who constantly complains about their right to know under the sunshine law didn't take the time to look at some of the amazing things Connie Burton has said to Officers over the years. Probably my favorite would be when she told an unnamed DIII officer that: "She Prayed every night that Hank Carr would come back and kill more police officers." ...... I know you must be thinking that is nothing more than hear say but if you look at the internal affairs complaint filed by her, she states under oath that she did in fact say that.
I would like to see other LEO's write the tribune editor at TBO.Com and tell then how they feel about the trib's unfairly treated hero....and I would really like to see our Police Union N*t up and send out a release telling our two thousand some odd members to boycott the tribune until as Paul Harvey says, ,they tell "The rest of the story"!!!
