Some people in Fort Wayne seem disinclined to agonize over the private lives of public figures. Steve Shine is, to some, a reviled Republican cheerleader, so any dirt that can be dished on him is a good thing, and any of us worry about the erosion of privacy are apologists for privilege, never mind the nuances. But if any want an example of legitimate reporting of someone's private life, here it is, a police officer accused of domestic abuse:
Tyler is charged with domestic battery and interfering with the reporting of a crime for allegedly grabbing his wife during an argument, and ripping a phone from her hands and throwing it across the room when she tried to call 9-1-1 for help.
A political party chairman grabbing his wife's car keys. A cop, whose job is to ensure public safety, grabbing his wife. Even the most partisan Democrat must be able to see the difference.
