SEARCH WARRANTS

SOCIETY’S ILLS

I disagree with the reasoning behind comments I have read regarding Fabiola Santiago’s Feb. 3 opinion, “Publix, with its partisan pay-to-play moves, has more than a seditious heiress to atone for.” “Cancel culture” should be addressed and understood.

Our country is going through many changes, some good and some not. However, cancel culture is unacceptable. It is an infringement on freedom of speech.

I am appalled that peowearing ple are willing to boycott Publix.

Last March, when paper goods and cleaning supplies were difficult to obtain, who was there for our community? Publix.

People flocked there in need of essentials they could not get at Whole Foods or elsewhere. Employees risked their health and safety to serve the community.

And this is how we show appreciation? With a boycott? All because a Publix heiress donated to a rally of a person some people don’t like. How quickly we forget.

People have the right to donate to the elected official of their choice. That is what democracy is about.

The Miami Herald has reported that the FBI agents killed while serving a search warrant in Sunrise were accompanied by local law enforcement. Sunrise police had been called to the killer’s apartmentseveral times because his behaviors that raised concern for the safety of others.

Isn’t it a practice for law enforcement serving search warrants to gather as much information about the potential for violence before carrying out the warrant? Were the agents vests and standing or bunched up in front of the door when a fusillade hit five of them? Were they lulled into believing there was little or no danger of attack?

It is a sad day when a law enforcement officer is killed. It is sadder if the danger could have been minimized.
