Stories like this give me a good feeling about small-town cops. The good feeling in question is relief that I rarely have to deal with them.

Suisun City, CA is a town of 28000. The police chief has just announced that he’s gay.

With that background, read this remarkable quote by Suisun City police officer Gail Hill:

I think a sigh of relief was let out by everyone in the department simply because it’s not a whisper in the hallway anymore… It’s out there, and we can deal with it. We’re a smaller department, and we’re a family. We are able to overlook people’s downfalls and shortcomings and treat people the way they should be treated.

I regret that the reporter of the story didn’t ask the police chief for a reaction upon learing that one of his staff equates homosexuality with a “shortcoming” or “downfall.”
