I’m going to institute a policy.

If you want to trash someone you’re going to have to display some courage. Taking anonymous cheap shots will not be not allowed. Someone calling himself Dick Long recently posted vague, disparaging comments about a cold case detective without facts or explanation. Dick Long, perhaps. No balls — definitely.

To post here, you’re going to have to be a man (or a woman) and use your real name.

That said, please don’t come here to post that kind of thing. I already know that the perfect detective without faults, like the perfect person, doesn’t exist. If you’re a better detective, a better person, let’s see it. Help us. This blog is here to help law enforcement and the family and friends of someone who was murdered and whose case went cold. Let’s see what you’ve got. Help someone here.
