Whatever happened to Officer Bill Pletcher, is he
on leave or something ? Something sounds fishy.

With all of the arguing and hatred it is hard to tell what article started all of this. But one thing I've noticed...in the two years since this posting began you seem to be discussing the same problems. You would think that within this time frame if more people cared enough to do something things would have changed…new mayors, council members, etc. Certainly, if there was some EVIDENCE of criminal acts committed by police officers the county prosecutors would be more than helpful in resolving your issues. I think the few people continuing this rant are in the minority with nothing but irritations and accusations for company. Nothing has been done because the majority are happy and don't see a problem. Live with it, move, or run for office and change from within.

seeing is believing. November will prove
the majority does want a change. To many people
have been effected this time, to many people
know what is going on. I predict there will be
a record # of voters.
will you need a fork to eat those words or will
you just shove them in?
and I do know what I am talking about regaurding
the officer, a relative of mine was involved
so you are the liar.

"Certainly, if there was some EVIDENCE of criminal acts committed by police" is what you have to say, my reply or question is: If criminal acts covered up within a department, who is a prosecutor to believe? Who is worse, the ones who commit the criminal acts or the ones covering? Food for thought.

The prosecutor is going to believe the person with the evidence, that's my point. Go to the prosecutor with some rumor or irritation...it won't get you far, most probably referred back to the police department. There exists an entire chain of government that isn't related to the police department. I really can't believe this is some big conspiracy to keep the people down. Common sense has to come into play some time, that why I said if there was EVIDENCE, meaning if you people weren't just spreading rumors about things that irritate you something probably would have been done by now. There is a difference between immoral / unethical and criminal acts; mainly you can't punish someone for an immoral or unethical act no matter how much you don't like it. Just because something happened you don't agree with doesn't make it a criminal act. The only thing that provides recourse for immoral / unethical acts is a department's policy and procedures. This is developed by the administration and is public record. If someone has done a criminal act, take it to the prosecutor. If someone has violated policy, take it to the administration. Follow up with a request for the officer's administrative file to ensure something was done. If nothing happens, file a formal complaint and then eventually a lawsuit.
Like I said, if there was some EVIDENCE something would have already been done.

Let me get this straight: You all have been bitching about the same thing for 2 1/2 years (I checked the date of the first post). I guess that the Chief is a keeper and you all don't carry the weight of a feather. For Christ's sake, move onto something else. The humor/Blantucky value of this string of comments has run it's course. It's not funny anymore except to "ya'all" I guess.
Have a nice day. Get a life.

In "normal" situations you are correct, but in the
"Good Ole Boys" laws, this is not how it is done.
It is not to keep the people "down" as you put it,
it is to keep them under "control".

Breaking and entering in an attempt to cover up something wrong you did is caught through investigation, then covered up within is okay. Good to know.
