New Jersey Law Enforcement Community Outraged by Rutgers University Professor
Muderer of Two Police Officers Sits on Panel at Rutgers University for Event Organized by Rutgers Criminal Justice Professor
(PRWEB) February 1, 2005 -- The New Jersey law enforcement community is fuming and has launched an all-out email and media campaign against a criminal justice professor at Rutgers University for a stunt she pulled last week.
Professor Dr. Drew Humphries held a seminar on Saturday, January 22nd on the campus of the Rutgers Law School at Camden. The event was entitled "How to Survive on Parole and Probation" and was cloaked as a panel-styled forum to help those on parole and probation adjust to re-entering society.
Then, the shocker.
To speak on the experience of parole, the professor invited convicted cop killer Thomas Trantino.
Trantino brutally murdered two Lodi, New Jersey police officers in 1963. Their names were Peter Voto and Gary Tedesco.
He didnt just murder them. He and his partner first disarmed the two officers and then had them strip down to their underwear. The two lawmen were then then taunted and pistol-whipped presumably for some sick thrill. However, torturing the officers was not enough for these two sadistic animals.
After toying with their victims, these monsters murdered the two unarmed policemen who both left behind families and a massive wake of anguish. They were both shot, execution style, in the head.
Initially sentenced to death, Trantinos life was spared when the United States Supreme Court overturned the death penalty in 1972. He was paroled in 2001.
The NJLawman.com website wrote a scathing editorial against Humphries who teaches several courses for Rutgers including "Police and Policing."
The site also called for a massive campaign of emails to Rutgers expressing outrage and disgust.
In just the first few days, more than 500 emails were sent by law officers, educators, citizens, alumni and other college professors.
Rutgers University seems to have done everything possible to distance themselves from this event, but the bottom line is they knew what is was going to be about and they allowed it anyway.
An apology was demanded, but thus far none has been given.
Humphries didn't take on the police.
She took on two families. She took on a woman who lost her husband, children that lost their dad, and friends and colleagues of two good men that were left devastated by a monster.
She took on a brother and fellow officer, Andrew Voto, who later came upon the scene and saw his brother, dead, at the hands of her friend whom she refers to as "Tommy."
