Police harassment at City Hall

Bessemer Mayor Ed May's flunkies are harassing the press.

Nancy Hartzog went to City Hall today to pick up information about how the administration is failing to do its job.

Hartzog was asked to sign in by one of May's flunkies on the front desk. She declined.

That's when the mayor's rotund body guard, Sgt. Larry Waldrop, decided to step in and threaten Hartzog.

"When you're told to sign in, you will sign in," he bellowed in his best gestapo voice.

Sure, moron. Go fetch the mayor another Sprite.

This is Police Harassment?
Why would she not sign in? Maybe she didn't want to, I don't know. But ive known Sgt. Larry Waldrop for 15 years and have never heard him raise his voice unless absolutely necessary. (Maybe Twice )And I have seen him around many dangerous situations, much less with a lady of the press and hardly ever heard him raise his voice. However, i wasn't there. The comments from the others I find very offensive. They obviously do not know this very good man and loyal Sergeant. Leave the Employees out of the politics.
