All 2 of them, but I still think it is good to do something about it.

In the comments, someone posted this :

This department has a long history of being sued. The chief has constantly refused her requests for information, to include showing her a copy of the department's policy and procedures, pushing back against requests to see cell phone records (a violation of FOIA laws), but it's interesting that as he is refusing to share communication with his mayor, he is more than willing to talk to the press.

Maybe now you understand why she was putting the brakes on his media appearances.

If true, we've been duped by the media again - and I work hard to avoid that one. Between a LEO and a politician (especially small town) I'd want to side with a LEO and fell for this one hook, line and sinker - if true.

The police chief and the entirety of the force totals 3 people. So why is this news?

It's not, really. WND is the right wing equivalent of moveon.org.

Take it with a grain of salt.

At least this mayor can honestly say the police force got cut because they didn't raise taxes.

[YALE]

Fuck it. Cut the police budget and let the county handle it.
