When Jeff Martin posted a police officer's home address to his blog and I copied and pasted that same information to Facebook, people thought us both horrid. But a police officer is trained in self-defense, armed and as able to protect himself as anyone. Marikay is not.
But when Yes Weekly puts Marikay's life in danger (remember, those who would hurt her already know where she lives) that's all fine and dandy. How is such a double standard acceptable in this community? Since when was it okay to put unarmed, middle aged women in harms way while shielding police officers from harm? If I were a Greensboro police officer I would be saddened that the City of Greensboro, GPD management, Yes Weekly and our community has shamed our entire police department in this way. GPD officers sign on to protect and serve, not to hide behind defenseless women. Stop shaming them for doing their jobs.
Anyone standing behind Brian Clarey and Yes Weekly in this matter should be ashamed.
