Dear Colonel Glover,
We the undersigned read with dismay about the actions of former Trooper Shawn C. Houston. While animal abuse is not acceptable on the part of any civilized person, for a law enforcement officer to behave in such a manner is particularly eggregious. This man's actions are a disgrace to the many fine men and women that protect and serve us every day. Your agency was correct to terminate this man's employment. We urge you to uphold this action.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and hear our concerns. We trust that you will continue to do the right thing.
