Letter to the Editor

In regards to the article in the Nov. 20 issue about the man who was tasered at a Saginaw City Council meeting, SVSU student Charles Littleton had absolutely no call nor excuse to strike back at police officers when they were enforcing a city rule inside the city council chambers.

I don't care what rules and regulations are on the books; there is a decorum one must adhere to when inside a place of civic business.

If he or anyone else has a problem with it, there are better steps to take than what Littleton did.

The kid is 22 years old. I think that's old enough to start acting like a man and too old to be whining about a hat.
