To chantise an Officer of the Law in a courtroom was totally wrong and out of line. If she had something to say to the Officer, she should have told him on the side. But, to state that poppies cannot be worn in her courtroom, is really wrong. She should appoligize and step down from her high throne, where she thinks she is doing right. A slap on the wrist of most criminals is not the appropriate action to take and she should know this. I guess she does not know a lot about the law and should get some retraining herself, as she hinted to the Officer. I do believe we should all wear poppies into her courtroom to show that we care and understand the meaning of them. After all, Remembrance does not only come in November, we should remember all year long of those who have died serving our country and those who have served and are serving to keep the world a better place to live.
