Councilman Pierce not guilty

If you aren't familiar with the case go read the article on the chattanoogan.com, times free press or just turn on the local news.

Open letter to Mr. Pierce,

I am not a resident of your district and rarely agree with your choices as a member of the city council, but my hat is off to you sir. Unlike many constant complainers you not only publicly voice your opinion on the state of our local neighborhoods and the impact crime has on them (whether or not the drug dealer is liked by his neighbors/customers) but are also willing to take a stand against the flagrant lack of respect these criminals demonstrate towards public safety & law enforcement. While I do not believe you showed the best judgement in allowing this drug dealer to provoke a response from you, I can't honestly say I would behave any differently from what the allegations levied against you stated that you did.
For the individuals who are shocked that you were acquitted, I ask for them to read the court records. After reading Mr. Jones testimony and the behavior of his 'cheering section' no one should be surprised that you were acquitted. IF the allegation are true than I think your reputation would have been better served to admit to them, but as I wasn't there so I'll defer the judgement to the jury of your peers who decided that you were not guilty. But next time, roll up your window...
