As of recent...well...ever since he climbed his throne...Steve Tyler has been making waves. And I'm not talking about those nice ones that you used to lay back and float on. I'm talking about the kind you get when you are chillin' lake side fishing and some jerk speeds by in thier fancy boat forcing wave after wave toward you making your fishing skills completely worthless...

And so it began...the Age of Tylerism.

First time I saw this man in person, I had no clue who he was and thought to myself...who the heck is THAT nerd???

But I have an open mind...I give people a chance. But even if I had been willing to give him chance, after chance, after chance.....and after chance, it wouldn't matter. This cop-hating man has failed to impress me time and time again.

He takes perfectly prosecutable cases and throws them out on a technicality and walks around with one finger pointed out and the other is dialing the Advocate. I'm still trying to figure out who is "servicing" who in that relationship.

Cops...are they perfect? Hell NO! Are they corrupt in victoria? No. They are just a bunch of human beings, like you and me, trying to do their jobs. Do they screw up sometimes? SURE.

Just like Tyler, I'm sure some of them even speed through town, with no seatbelt, no driver's license to show, and no proof of vehicle insurance in the glove box.

Hard as their job might be, what was once a good working relationship has turned into a dictatorship. Officers are forced to try to do thier job while completely aware that thier own DA would love nothing better than to put one of them behind bars....think he isn't trying?

And to make matters worse...you get the Victoria Advocate...they give him a public forum, a personal blog in thier delivered paper...again and again they publish biased articles.

Why? Because they KNOW the VPD's Chief is not going to lower himself to Tylerism. He is professional and courteous and is not going to use the paper to point fingers.

It's sad to see so many citizens being influenced by the paper and the news. In reality, they know nothing about these cases being glamourized but think they know enough from the reading the BIASED articles in the paper to form a conclusion about local law enforcement.

I know some of the officers at the police department, as well as many at the Sheriff's Office. They are not bad people and truely believe they are doing their jobs to the best of their abilities. I for one, think they are doing great. Is there room for improvement? sure, there always is.

I think we need to stop focusing on the bad. We are letting criminals out there believe that our system is so screwed up that they can commit crimes and get out on technicalities...with the current DA, this is probably true. However, we don't need to make such a big deal about it.
