Murphy told state troopers that Lieutenant Sherman punched him in the face, pounded him on the back, and ripped his shirt.I probably should know more before assuming this is an "Only Ones" story. I know it can be a slippery slope, and I know there are other ways to deal with things, but there are times and situations where I believe a man ought to be able to punch another guy out for inappropriate behavior directed at himself or a loved one. I wouldn't want to deny that consideration to Lt. Sherman just because of his job.
He was shouting at him for sending messages to his wife on Facebook and MySpace, Murphy told investigators. [More]
By the same token, I wouldn't want Lt. Sherman arresting me for doing the same.
