Statement from retired Webster NY police chief Gerald Pickering. God bless him as he goes forward.
“Yesterday, July 9th, in the early afternoon in the City of Rochester, I was arrested for Patronizing a Prostitute.
As a retired law enforcement officer, I certainly am aware of the law as well the negative impacts of this incident. I will handle this matter earnestly and honestly. I hope to regain the trust of our community in the near future.
I am incredibly sorry for the pain, embarrassment, and shame this arrest has caused my family, friends and the community at large.
I thoroughly respect and appreciate the difficult and important job of the Rochester Police Department Officers.
I will have no additional conversations with anyone except my family and my faith.”
Why don’t they fly the Italian flag the Irish flag the Polish flag the African flag the fist pump missing in action soldiers. They need another Flag pool. They’re doing OK just with the goddamn American flag.
The Webster board is not being neutral - it’s discriminating. The flag represents a legally-protected group, not a political faction. Pride month is a designated official observance. It’s in the government’s interest to send a message of inclusion. And I guess we won’t now see banners supporting troops, breast cancer ribbons or anything else on Webster property recognizing any group right?

Speaking of accidents. We still have no word of who was responsible for a six month old babies death on Buffalo road in Gates. @GatesPolice why? what are you hiding?
One of three fights and three assaults Friday night in Fairport NY. Village PD was on an assaulted-EMS worker call when a 50-person melee broke out with MCSO responding. This is what a village with an under-staffed police department looks like.
1/2:
Nathaniel Jean-Pierre III brutally murdered a resident of the House of Mercy w/ machete in 2022.
He was found mentally unfit for trial, and sent to Roch Psych center.
He was recently granted permission for community access, meaning temporary release.
@BobLonsberry Who the hell would want that job to have the PAB judge you or judge Van White let the shooter go the next day. This is not a game. It’s like a big kid hide and seek game but with guns and knives till the leadership changes.
I'm seriously not trying to be alarmist, but when you want to spend $65.7M on stadium upgrades with a big question hanging out there, it's worth pointing this out.
