PAGE ONE COMMENTARY: Cop Gets His Guns Back

JUDGE GARCIA LIFTS RESTRAINING
ORDER. DOES THAT MEAN THAT
OFFICER CALVERT’S 13-YEAR-OLD
DAUGHTER LIED WHEN SHE TOLD
SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES THAT CALVERT
DRAGGED HER ACROSS THE FLOOR
BY HER ANKLE, THREW HER AGAINST
A WALL, REPEATEDLY HIT HER ON
HER LEGS AND ARMS AND THEN
PICKED HER UP BY HER SHIRT AND
HIT HER SOME MORE?


CALVERT’S 10-YEAR-OLD SON
REPORTEDLY SAID THAT HE
SCREAMED AT HIS FATHER, BEGGING
HIM TO STOP HITTING HIS SISTER.
DID HE LIE, TOO?

by Dennis Reeves Cooper

Okay. The question today
is this: Did Key West Police
Officer Thad Calvert’s 13-yearold
daughter lie when she told
Sheriff’s deputies that her father
drug her across the floor by her
ankle, then threw her against
a wall, then ordered her to assume
the “push-up position,”
then hit her several times on her
legs and arms, and then picked
her up by her shirt and hit her
some more?

This information comes
directly from the deputies’ official
report, dated January 31.
We don’t make this stuff up.

Did Calvert’s 10-year-old
son lie when he reportedly said
that he repeatedly screamed at
his father, begging him to stop
hitting his sister? Did he lie
when he told deputies that he
saw his father drag his sister
into his bedroom and throw
her against the wall? Did he
lie when he told deputies that
when he was unable to hold
the push-up position, his father
kicked his legs several times?
