MCDONALD'S SHOULD COMPLAIN

I was aghast to read in your paper about a drug sting at a local
McDonald's. That particular McDonald's has a huge indoor play area to
attract children and is usually full of children.

How could the Sarasota Police Department condone a drug sting where so
many children are present? The paper states that the suspect shoved a
boy out of his way. He could just as easily have grabbed the boy as a
hostage! Can you imagine the trauma of seeing armed, masked policemen
rush a restaurant, shouting for everyone to get under tables?

If the manager of this restaurant does not file a complaint, I will be
disappointed. I know that I will never take my grandchildren there
again.

What were the police thinking?
