The only ones vigilante enough

At least that's the way it seems with two recent incidents in which a Cannon County jailer and La Vergne Police officer, both off duty and out of their jurisdiction, allegedly tried to pull over two people on Rutherford County roads.

Instead of suspending or firing Foster, though, Cannon County Sheriff Kenny Wetzel said he will give him the benefit of the doubt until the case goes to court, allowing him to keep overseeing inmates. With a decision like that, we must ask: What does a person have to do to get fired from the Cannon County Jail?

At least La Vergne Police put a two-week suspension on Officer Santiago McKlean after he tried to stop a woman June 8 for reckless driving on Florence Road, then chased her for at least two miles, frightening her and endangering his own family. His wife and two small children were in his private car when he went after the woman, off duty and outside La Vergne to boot.

Because of their reckless behavior, these two individuals should probably be fired for the good of the people, those they've chased already and those they could hurt if they are allowed to stay on the job.

Wow. I don't have much else to say.
