Ted Krohn's - letter criticizing Mr. Rogers and your newspaper for “lack of profes- sional journalism” and “civic re- sponsibility”: Obviously, Atty. “Yrohn with all his titles, is “a hired -~ '@an” for the Back Mountain Police .»_"Association. Are we to expect that ifanyone dares to publicly criticize , the actions of the Back Mountain - . Police, intimidation by a lawyer + will follow? After reading both opinions, it appears that Mr. Rogers was cor- -~. ‘rect. The police did enter Bonanza. ".'.’Anyone with common sense can see that Mr. Roger's “scenarios” make sense. Maybe, Atty. Krohn would have us believe that the F.B.I. have better training than our local police? This is probably true. On the other hand, I'm sure they do not have a big “S” on their T shirts...Nice try Ted, but your lack of candor is not appreciated. Furthermore, are we to feel pity for the police because they are paid a poor salary? From a law- yer’s point of view, a police salary may be microscopic. To the aver- age Back Mountaineer, the police salary is quite generous. I sup- pose, we get what we pay for. It's peculiar that Atty. Krohn never redressed the situation of the cruiser at the doughnut shop or the sluggish speed limits which Mr. Rogers complained about. After purchasing a scanner for my home and tuning into the Back Mountain Police, I really do won- der if we pay them too much. Sometimes, there seems to be a discrepancy between what is re- ported on the radio and what one reads in the newspaper. I believe it is everyone's civic responsibility to critique the police...if need be!
