Clay county sounds like something out of a movie.

The former Sherrif of Tallahatchie County, who is in prison now, ran a large drug operation. Inmates in the county jail made drop offs and cash collection for him.
They've all sworn to uphold illegal laws. "Shall not be infringed" doesn't allow any leeway for any unconstitutional gun laws they enforce (among other things, 'patriot act', 'ndaa', etc). IMO if you swear to do something illegal then you don't deserve my respect.
If you think they're crooked down here try taking a trip to your nearest million plus city. I work 911 software all over the country. Seen a lot of bull manure that winds up buried.
He is out of Jail now. 2 sides to every story.Quote:

We have one of those over here in a South Alabama jurisdiction also.
I like my sherrifs to have such a clean "side to their story" that they don't even get near having charges brought against them, much less have such a strong "side of the story" against them they spend time in jail over it.Quote:

I know many deputies, all of them say that when it comes to a late night drug arrest of a clean cut girl from a good family, any and all sexual favors will be offered by the young lass.
Will we are on the subject, the Rankin Count SO is in a metric shite ton of trouble.

Wanted to get this in before this thread is locked?moved. My county used to be dry as was the county next door. I had my first job away from home in the late '70's. When I came to visit my friends told me about the "Chicken House" over the county line. Bootlegger had set up a drive through in an old chicken house for booze, had coolers and ice machines. Sheriff and staff escorted delivery trucks as they were getting a cut. They were so brazen they were even selling t-shirts advertising the place. He, his staff & owner were soon busted by the Feds f(guess tax evasion was also in there somewhere). Now both counties are "wet" of course.
And they should say "no", just as we'd expect a judge to say "no" to a bribe, or a General to say "no" if China offered prostutes/money in exchange for State secrets.Quote:

No it doesn't, you just don't hear about the could-of-been-Cannizaros of the world who chose to keep it in their pants. Men are not animalsQuote:

Well that’s good to know. What is the age cutoff for MLEOTA? Asking for a friend.Quote:

So it will take much more than an article from them to make me come to a conclusion about anything.
No doubt the media just wants clicks and eyeballs; they only say the truth if it's more scandalous than whatever lie they can think up. National media especially doesn't care if they report on these local issues wrong, because they'll get clicks from the whole country but only risk angering a few thousand in bum**** nowhere if the truth eventually proves them wrongQuote:

I would amend that to every person PERIOD should have a gun.
I generally don't advocate violence against people, law enforcement especially, but if those dudes in Rankin County are out of control, eventually people will get sick of it and take matters into their own hands.
Holding law enforcement to a higher standard is imperative to ensure safety for both sides. There are hundreds of thousands of residents and a LOT less deputies. They have to be considerate of their constituents while trying to enforce the law.
Having said that, it could be a bunch of BS but I can't imagine how you can justify shooting a dude in the face after he's been handcuffed (assuming that is accurate).
