Over in the Town of Linn, someone is trying to make sure Chief Winsiewski and his officers understand that sale of evidence connected with an investigation is wrong. Someone might try to make sure Elkhorn understands how sales like this taint law enforcement and the administration of justice.
The problem in all this – ordinary working people are unfairly caught up in the problems of a few leaders.
I have no familiarity with this force, and I have no reason to doubt that there is true remorse involved.
It’s hard, though, not to see how surprising this seems from the outside, to common people in their own work.
That perception deserves consideration, too.
