Thank you, Herald Bulletin, for running a photo on the newspaper’s front page of Shain E. Arnold.
Although I have had a few speeding tickets in my life (certainly no DWI’s) I have never once thought about trying to “outrun” a police officer (unlike Arnold). I guess Arnold has not heard of cell phones and two-way radios.
Major Brian Bell has a wife and family, and any time someone tries to outrun a police officer, that person puts not only that officer but every pedestrian and innocent driver along that path at risk for serious injury or even death.
Maybe the next traffic offender that wants to avoid jail will think that jail beats the heck out of getting shot twice with a gun and will pull over when a policeman signals him to do that.
Maybe Arnold should not bring a knife (that looks like a gun) to a gun fight. Thanks to all the police officers out there for keeping drunks off our streets and highways.

Letter: Lutz not representing the working class
I feel bad that Rep. Lutz (R) is sad, because Democrats at the Statehouse are representing the working class people of Indiana. While he is representing big business.

Viewpoint:: Washington must wake up to missile threat

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt
To save America some money — by acclimation of course — let’s not have a presidential election in 2012. We already have a good president who will do his best to kill all Republican bills (DOA) and, consequently, create more good-paying jobs in the $30 per hour range.

Letter: Gingrich cashes in on political amnesia
Rasmussen says that Romney has flattened nationally. Why?
Two reasons seem to tell the tale. Gingrich has shown that he will fight, and Romney is a Mormon, believed to be a “cult” by a majority of evangelicals. -
Letter: Hiring Winkler not wise spending
As a taxpayer I want to know that my taxes are being spent wisely. Hiring Greg Winkler at a salary of $126,000 is not wise spending.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.

We are now getting the results of putting people in the gutters. We need to take a second look at our government and its policies. It’s not working.
