Seems to me the main "source if disinformation" is coming from the High Office of Sheriff (i.e., Barney). I personally don't believe Keith Kidwell would go off half cocked and say what is attributed to him, seeing as how a committee is studying the issue of whether a county police force would be better than what we now have. I would choose to believe he would wait until all the facts and information are in before he takes a position. I could be wrong but this seems so far-fetched that I can't believe it until Keith confirms it publically. I would expect that whatever he said to Barney was taken by Barney for what he wanted said. We shall see.

Great assessment, and I had a talk with The Hood about this today.
This is not a partisan issue; this is a common sense issue. As a real Conservative, I am always searching, seeking the common sense perspective has always been a constant process for me. |
Here's my take. I'll sum it quickly:
This has "distraction" written all over it. Note that the whole "defunding the sheriff's office" hullabaloo started on social media. Are the Cypr....BOCO swamp creatures purposely misleading the less informed through "GOP" members? Think "projection". |
Thanks Uncle Jeb for your update on local matters here in the real.
You definitely brought forward the court house issue that occurred while I was taking a break from the commission, and the way you presented it revealed quite a number fluent ironies. The issue that I have with this political movement by the Sheriff right now is his gross misrepresentation of commissioners defunding his office when we have spent record amounts of money to sustain his administration, often begrudgingly. This needs to be well discussed during the Beaufort County County 2021 /2022 Fiscal Budget sessions. |
I encourage your readers of Doofus Ernie’s diatribe to brush up on the “Nepolonic Complex” and apply it to this “press release.”
Little Ernie is a bully. He has to boast to try to compensate for his well-known shortcomings and insecurities. He refused to provide security for our courthouse so the judges hired a rent-a-cop outfit to do it. Turned out fine. He tried to blackmail the School Board and they did the same thing. Bullying is not a good idea Ernie. You don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Little Barney (I mean Ernie) has spent more money than any Sheriff in Beaufort County’s history and most of it has never been accounted for. Call 911 and ask for a deputy to be sent out to your place and see how long it takes to get there, if at all. While Barney’s spending has gone up, the population has gone down. Take out the street punks he drags in for dope and there’s not much left that could be called crime fighting. But this you can count on. Barney and his top Elite will be driving the highest priced vehicles you can buy. |
The issue, regarding the SRO debacle, was brought to light during this meeting in question; however one issue has nothing to do with the other and never has; it is a pure conflation.
The SRO issue is one that is solely between the School Board and Sheriff; however, the additional unbudgeted funding (not SRO related) from the commissioners, requested by the sheriff after the budget process was completed, has been conflated by the sheriff with this separate SRO issue, which now appears was meant to confuse the public, and direct some measure of consternation against the party (the commissioners) not bending to the sheriff's will. That is the way I see it. |
This press release suggests that the Sheriff and Commissioner Hood Richardson have such a personal political squabble, which is so large, it is now effecting staffing within his department.
The problem seems to be quite a bit broader than just that one interpersonal political relationship between the high sheriff and the venerable county commissioner. |
