In reference to John Rosier's Dec. 5 letter defending the Goose Creek police, there is a right way and a wrong way to search for drugs and guns in school buildings. The police don't need to use Gestapo tactics in front of school children or anyone else. There is enough fear of the law without adding more. Just like the beating of the man in Ohio, this does not send a picture of working with the community by the police department.
