Email to chief of police, Largo, Fla

Sent tonight

I appreciate the care my family has received from the Largo Police over my 26 years in Largo, 59 in Pinellas. The police have always been supportive and courteous when contacted for help of any kind.

A few weeks ago, I sent you an email because I mistakenly thought photos I saw were ICE in Largo. Sorry about that.

Even so, my concern remains. I am white, born in the US. My family immigrated here from Bohemia (for real) over 100 years ago. Although my self, nor my family, are in imminent danger, I have always maintained” If it can happen to someone else, it can happen to me”.

The “it” I’m referring to, is people being taken without proof that they are illegal, or that they have committed a crime. Certainly, no one should be sent to prison without proof….or deported.

After speaking with members of the Largo City Council, I am under the impression that you urged them to agree to Largo Police working with ICE if asked.

I see you, the Largo Police, the mayor and city council as the protectors of our community, our last line of defense against what resembles the Nazi SS and Gestapo. Even the Nazis did not wear masks. In my opinion, criminals wear masks.

It is up to you to protect us against false accusations and assure that the Law is upheld. If it happens that ICE asks for your assistance in our community, it must be with the understanding that every person stands before a judge. If that assurance is not there, you should not comply.

Every person in a leadership position must be brave enough to say “this is illegal!”

If someone is illegal, deport them. They should not go to prison or jail. Due process is a human right. People talk alot about being a Christian nation. I can’t picture Jesus saying “Due process is only for white citizens, no illegals”.

Please uphold the Constitution. It is the reason we have lived as a free nation for 250 years.

I am sending 2 pictures. I don’t see the difference between the people in them.image0.jpegimage1.jpeg

Sincerely,

Cathy O
