WRITER DISCREDITS OUR OFFICERS

Editor,

This letter is in response to the letter to the editor in the
Standard-Examiner Friday, January 20, "Home invader may shout: 'Police!'"

How dare the writer discredit officer Jared Francom who gave his life
protecting the citizens of our city. To say he did not die for a noble
cause demonstrates the writer's lack of knowledge of what is going on
in our society today. His solution is to re-legalize all drugs? I
don't know what rock he crawled out from under. Is growing marijuana
legal in Mesa, Arizona? How inconsiderate the writer is to make such
an outlandish statement in a time of loss for the officer's family and
for those of us in Ogden who appreciate what he gave for us.
