Reader responds to Quincy police

In response to the Quincy police chief and capatain being terminated: I was very disappointed and heartbroken to hear this news because it's not the chief or captain's fault that we have gang members and criminals who refuse to be law-abiding citizens. It's time for the prosecutor to get tough on these gang bangers and criminals. It's time for citizens to stop blaming law enforcement and blame the gangs and criminals instead.

In the state of Florida I used to be the head captain over security. At one point, they wanted to fire me because criminals were breaking into cars and apartments. Thanks God I had a common-sense property manager who realized it wasn't the captain's fault, but the crimanls who will never obey the law.

To the former chief and captain who were let go: Don't worry. You are two good guys who will find another department who will appreciate and understand the hard work you put in. Sometimes people who don't understand law enforcement will let you go. Just find a more understanding place to work. As a law-abiding citizen, I truly appreciate the hard work you put in for the Quincy police department.
