Excellent point you touched on pertaining to the media. My final concern, is whether officer Croyle is still "aloud" to respond to domestic violence calls? I can't imagine him being able to view the situation he encounters arbitrarily. What if the abuser is also "very good" at their job, and that job is very stressful?

Both are crimes. When we see the news sources not beg the drunk driving question for the public, the news source is most likely (absolutely?) bedfellows with the police.Behind The Blue Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429113203939514642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-228551311868738922015-01-29T17:23:43.644-08:002015-01-29T17:23:43.644-08:00Having trouble deciding who's actions are wors... Having trouble deciding who's actions are worse.......Officer Croyles, or Chief Skiles making excuses for him. i.e. police officer's deal with a lot of stress on their jobs. If you aren't Condemning Officer Croyles actions, then, infact, you ARE condoning them. What isn't mentioned, is how officer Croyle made it to, and from the bar that day? I'll give you 3 guesses, and the first 2 don't count! Simply put, Officer Croyle should no longer be an officer of the law, and the tax payer's of Windber Borough, and Paint Township, should seriously think of replacing their Chief!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-2483601374581303862014-04-18T05:14:18.466-07:002014-04-18T05:14:18.466-07:00It's complete nonsense for this man to be an o... It's complete nonsense for this man to be an officer sworn to uphold the law. One episode is too many, but the second shows a pattern of behavior unbecoming to anyone sworn to serve, and protect the public. He has personally attacked my character on several occasions (SOME of what he has said being true.) That being said, officers of the law should be held to a much higher standard, and should be viewed as role models. I'm aware posting this has placed a huge target on my back, but this must be brought to the attention of good people who won't vouch, or "cover up" for him. People on the front line of domestic violence that will work tirelessly to seek justice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
