I'm sure there will be a huge influx of locals being targeted by this story. But it is very apparent that our Sheriff is acting very strange. Something is amiss with his actions. I find it hard to believe that he is the highest of high positions in this county. Everyone has someone to answer to, or else that person is a dictator. We need to know which way this fiasco rolls.

So let me get this straight. Barney lied. He made it appear that the Commissioners "defunded the police." Actually it appears the Commissioners appropriated $650K to cover the need the Sheriff created by backing out of the MOU. Do I have this correct Barney?
Is it true or not that you tried to blackmail the Boards to give you more money or you would take your toys and go home? Seems to me there has been no "defunding" unless the Commissioners cut the "Office of Sheriff" by $650K in the next budget. And that is precisely what they should do. At least. Will look forward to your next press release. |

The great irony here is that the commissioner(s) participating in this disinformation campaign is /are the same commissioner(s) who pushed for this yearly blanket of an SRO in every school in the first place when this initiative was put into place.
I have said my piece that I would go a different route, not because in would require less less funding, but because it would provide a far greater envelope of safety. That direction would be to have precise and immediate lockdown mechanism(s), with most classrooms and common areas protected by conspicuously random fire power.
I would still keep the SROs in the high schools however.
