Clark fans’ outrage selective

Sat., March 14, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

Hey, Doug Clark: I too feel bad for Otto Zehm, but you seem to place blame on the officer as if he predetermined his approach to, at that time of the incident, a subject that was acting out of the ordinary. His training, undoubtedly, took over at that precise moment.

My reason for writing is the outrage shown by you and your following as to the outcome. I seem to remember in the last short year of two babies “murdered” by subjects that they were placed with for their safe care. Where is the outrage for them, or is the outrage only reserved for involvement by the Spokane Police Department?

And, all you followers, with your selected quotes printed in the March 5 Spokesman, where is your outrage for those that cannot protect themselves? If Clark doesn’t have the police department to bash who could be next on his list?
