GALWAY LETTER GALLS

I am writing in regard to the Aug. 21 letter from Wendy Swezey of Galway.

Where do I begin?

Ms. Swezey, did you bother to get the facts about the two police officers in question before you started spewing your racially biased opinions? Do you realize these two so-called "drug cops" are under indictment for the very thing you so eloquently state no one should have civil rights for? They are being investigated for distributing drugs! These officers (who give good Schenectady police a bad name) used their positions for personal gain and you support them!

How dare you say certain people should be denied civil rights, and how dare you call Schenectady residents "pathetic losers." I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate being called a country bumpkin ignoramus!

Joann Cotterell, Schenectady
