Strom Responds to Jensen

David Strom has a classy yet pointed response to State Patrol Troopers Association president Corporal Timothy Jensen's article in the union newsletter:

Let me be absolutely clear: I believe Trooper Jensen is an honorable man and would never act on his implication that the Taxpayers League is equivalent to a group of murderous thugs, or truly be suggesting that others do so. But for the President of the State Trooper's association to even flirt with the implication calls for an apology.

The State Troopers are heroes. They put their lives on the line daily to aid and defend the public. Not only do they defend the public and the law, but they respond when citizens are most in need of help, at considerable personal risk. It saddens me that Jensen's actions have reflected at all poorly on those troopers.

He owes them an apology even before he apologizes to me.

Jensen is reportedly on vacation; we'll have to wait a bit for his response.
