Letter to the Editor Voice of the people The thick blue line Many things come to mind when I hear the word “Professional Courte- sy.” Realtors not jumping on a listing that they know another Realtor is interested in... Another hair stylist’s clientele... I can go on and on... Now my personal definition of “Professional Courtesy” in the law enforcement community is that when you are in my (our) jurisdiction you conduct yourself in a manner so that your behavior doesn’t require that I (they) come into contact with you.

Not only was Mr. Alexander double the legal limit per Chief Nichols but he was swerving erratically all over Highway 12 the night he was pulled over. Chief Nichols used the term “Professional Courtesy” for letting The President him go. The most disturbing thing about this whole fiasco is that if a public records request had not been To protect Mueller, Republican silence made, SPD would have successfully swept this under the rug and the public would never have known.

The movie started pre-pro- duction in February and has been filming in rural Oktoc, south of Starkville, since early March. Carpenter said filming at the current location should wrap up by the end of the month, before moving to get a few shots near Columbus.
