    Amazing that someone with that questionable of a background would be hired for police chief.

    10 to 1 odds are that there were some politics involved in that one!;)

    I think they just needed their own dept because they were relying on ours. Just like with our VFD. They are a small incorporated community that really has no tax base and no money for good payroll so they shopped in the bluelight isle and got what they got in a contract without even googleing his name.

    Prior to their shift they were told by the sarge that they would all need to go through "subject training"...their collective IQ's thought this is what he meant.

    I'm sorry guys, but from an outsiders observation I can't believe how much is wrong with this. I am grateful I and my loved ones do not have to live like this.

    The hate, the lack of respect, the abuse of power, the pettiness, the poitlessness, the pain, and the misery.

    The way community treats itself simply because of guns is creating nothing but animosity as you slowly drown. I wish you guys could see that.

    Guns aren’t problem..never have been..its morons who aren’t mentally capable of operating a gun much less owning one..responsible gun owners know what to do…

    Respectfully,
    Can't help think these cops ( who are actually quite passive from others I've seen) are so highly strung out because at every encounter they don't know if they are going home to their familes after it. Because of guns. It doesn't matter who holing them, its the presence of the gun.

    Then the way they treat a citizen, multiple yelling, multiple guns pointing, playing simon says, then won't answer a reasonable and respectful question. I mean how does anyone think that is acceptable. If that were me, my wife, my son, my father I'd be horrified. The situation is like being involved in a bank robbery on a lazy Tuesday afternoon. All this commotion but you have no power, control, voice, or respect; just there for the ride knowing something is going to happen, but what?. All made very life and death because the gun is present.

    And because she took too long to pull over. How long is to long? Its clear the police have 0 patience, so perhaps the next safe place was too long? She did do better than the cop however choosing where to stop. And "may have" thrown something out the window? May have? Then a reason surfaces afterwards it was a road rage incident, but he cop who pulled her over could not put that together when colleagues were asking what's the offence. The gun gives one a sense of power, control, perhaps invincibility. These cops are a law unto themselves, all of them. But again the gun is present.

    If that is the way an obliging and respectful American citizen gets treated, then I can't imagine how the police should be treated for their actions. And god help you if you actually did something bad.

    From the outsider observation, America bullies and belittles its citizens. Victimising yourselves in the name of freedom, respect, and decency, all because guns turn you against each other challenging your trust of fellow countryman-woman. Just imagine the same scene however if the culture was not laced with guns. Everyone was not strung out on fear and distrust.

    If guns aren't the problem then the greatest power on earth is drowning in morons. Imploding, as it were. If you put the guns aside, where they parked the car is perhaps exhibit B, then putting a citizen in that car exhibit C and on it goes....... not just one cop, but how many?

    I imagine they where all not there because they were bored, rather they all showed up to support each other incase a gun fight went down.
