Entire police dept put on leave

[Afrikeber]

A good while ago they had a chief of police who knew how to apply for grants and military surplus. I know that he got a couple of 50 cal rifles and a bunch of m16's or m4's . I also believe he acquired a mrap also. He has passed away now but I wonder if it was those items. I believe that just before he passed on, he was in the process of applying for a helicopter

The ratio of crooked and law abiding has substantially changed nationwide over the years to the point where law abiding will be no more.

Not saying you're often wrong in general. But where's an Elected Official in this story ?

Is the sheriff and judgeships elected?

The ratio of crooked and law abiding has substantially changed nationwide over the years to the point where law abiding will be no more.

This has been a recurring theme of conversation when drinking a beer with a buddy of mine.

There will still be law abiding folks, those are the ones with assets and have something to lose by not following the law. The one's without assets will drift down as there are fewer and fewer consequences for illegal actions.

And it really sucks balls when you get hit by an uninsured motorist who drove like a douche, who has no assets; you pay for his stupidity. Those fuckers should go to the boys camp for a year; if you can't pay then you serve time.

Property rights in this country have taken a big hit over the years.

The sleepy town just two miles from the Delaware border is best known for its annual winter festival, which draws thousands of visitors.
WTF What town is that article talking about???? It sure isn't Ridgely.

 

[mellowcream]

why does Ridgely even need a police department?

 

[mellowcream]

member the Denton Police department/Fire chief and the shenanigans they had going on with the bikers one or more summers ago.
Wonder how all that was finally sorted?

Can you explain the background here? Super curious. I've heard this before.
