Games on top of travesty.
Some days I weary.
Today Pennsylvania Dallas Township Police Officer Jeffrey Dennis says he didn't kill his wife Carli - she shot herself in the head (despite telling folks he was going to stage her suicide), and earlier today Utah ex-Lehi SWAT Officer Henderson hung himself in his jail cell (after shooting at his wife, her boyfriend, and the officers who responded). Over in Indiana yesterday convicted Charles Boney, the guy who helped convicted Trooper Camm kill his wife and children, was presenting to the court that he wants a do-over, and yesterday Officer Moray in Yonkers shot his wife and himself. Monday, it was CBS Producer - now author of Tacoma Confidential Paul LaRosa, having an article internet-published that asserts (for the first time DIRECTLY) that our police chief here in Tacoma didn't commit murder-suicide on his wife Crystal, but that it was SHE who caused the gun to go off twice, accidently. He says that makes
more sense.
I need a walk in the woods.
From the news, on Officer Dennis :
...A district judge ruled Thursday there is enough evidence to send the case against a Luzerne County police officer to trial. Jeffrey Dennis, a Dallas Township police officer, is charged with homicide in the shooting death of his wife, Carli... Dennis claims his wife shot herself... the victim's best friend - said after the shooting, Dennis told her Carli died because of what she did to him... Another witness... said Dennis threatened to shoot her and make it look like she did it last summer...

I apologize.
ReplyDeleteI have no right to complain while I still have life.
No right at all.
Something has to change though.
Officer involved dv presents a whole new set of obstacles to getting help - for everyone involved.
There are, it seems, a hundred different reasons that it's hard to report, and at least 20 reasons it's hard for the officer to ask for help.
We need to brainstorm, past paper-laws, to the
root-cause,
and then work together towards some
healing.
I am Carli's best friend. Thank You for bringing more attention to a case like this. If she could have only fekt safe enough to ask for help............
