: Well I am here to tell you that Kittanning is far from great !! I have lived her all my life . And now the Judicial system............. hmmmm where to start on this subject:
: What is the matter with the police ? I cant beleive they would hand cuff a child's father in front the child (over a DUI that occured like 4 years ago) 4 police officers showed up at my neighbors doorstep today with a bench warrant for a mans arrest, a man who i might add hasnt had a drop to drink for 4 years, who is a good father and a good person. Why hand cuffs? He wasnt resisting arrrest... as the officers walk him down his street without out letting him console his small child who is crying for her daddy. I wonder would they like there children to see this? Why unless is a crime ( a real crime) or reisisting arrest do you have to take a mans dignity further away and hand cuff them and walk them down the street. How about a phone call saying "hey i have a warrant for your arrest please report to the courthouse/jail" I mean whats the harm if its been 4 years and this is a not a problem person do you have to cuff them and parade them in front of their neighbor hood.Dont you think once you broadcast all over the Leader-Times you've done enough to dignity as family , friends, co-workers all see the name and spread there ideas and rumors of what happened. Does one DUI make you a criminal now? and your children need to see you being punished.... come on officers what is wrong with you ????? Do we not believe people make mistakes in life? I understand this man needs to pay for his crime. But what about his family ? His small children does nobody care what happened to them today over this ordeal?
What police dept are you talking about doing this great unjust, Local or sheriff's dept.
