All? (Always? Never?)

Is there any member of the law enforcement community who has spoken to Sheriff Keith Nygren who does NOT support Dan Regna?

Local radio aired paid political announcements on February 2 at 7:57AM and again at 8:20AM (and later) in which the sheriff stated that “all the men and women in the police community that I have spoken to” support Dan Regna. “All” is a pretty big word. Has not even one person told the sheriff that he supports Lou Bianchi?

Words like “all”, “always” and “never” are suspect in many statements, because the case is likely that, by nature, what follows is probably not to be true.

Should cop organizations and heads of law enforcement agencies come out for one candidate or another? Is it desperation that has resulted in their level of support in this year’s primary race? Just what is the desperation all about?

It’s all over today but the shouting. Bianchi got more votes in the primary than Regna. What kind of working relationship with the sheriff’s department now have with the state’s attorney’s office? Have bridges been burned?

If it had been a fair fight, there probably wouldn’t be hard feelings. Everybody has an opinion; right? But in an ugly contest, there will be lingering hard feelings.

I wonder if the anomosity between Nygren and Bianchi is because Bianchi prosecuted the two ex-officers for beating up the man outside the Fox Lake bar. After the incident Bianchi waited for the Illinois police to do their investigation before he had them arrested.

In an ugly contest Gus would win hands down (or hands up to cover your eyes).
