I do commend the authors for publishing the truth. Secondly, I have never been a security guard. Third, I had an exemplary career with the MPD. Tens years of positive OBRs and commendations. Please, point your finger elsewhere.

He was always a problem employee, and never did anything right. Because of his past record at MPD, he can only find work as a security guard at Regions Bank. We all laugh at him, but some of the younger officers who don’t know him, read his site for advise, and screw up their reputations.

Someone better explain to this police chief how the “series of tubes” works, because in probably somewhere around 75 percent of the time, he’ll have no way to identify these anonymous bloggers he’s trying to locate (for what purpose one can only imagine).

After all, the vast majority of bloggers provide false email addresses. IP addresses coming from major ISP’s may only point to the network the blogger came in off of, and no record of machine assignments may be available.

Then, even with that, theres no way to prove that the IP actually went to that persons computer (without confiscating everyones computers to examine the logs) or even who was operating the computer at the time, if it did.

So in a nutshell, if this clown is planning on posting these peoples names or something, then its going to be a good day for Tort Cake in Memphis this year. Because he’s going to be identifying lots of people, who maybe had nothing to do with the comments he’s upset about.

Funny though, I thought Memphis was part of the United States?

Maybe they sold it to Cuba or something.
