First of all - people do drugs for all sorts of reasons - some for the thrill, some for the danger, others simply to self-medicate to cover up symptoms of depression. In other words - "NOT ALL 'CRIMINALS' ARE CREATED EQUAL"! Until you have walked in somebody's shoes - you really have no right to pass judgement. Isn't that what God is supposed to you?

No, I've never been arrested, but I've had people who are close to me that have been arrested. Some deserved the punishment they received, but some - those that live in Fayette County - did not deserve the punishment they received, they weren't hurting anyone, but they became a victim - yes, victim of the over-zealous sheriff's department.

Skyspy, you seem like a good guy and in the past, I believe you, yourself, have spoken out against the police in this county and how you were treated. Just remember - just because you read about something in the papers or see it on the news, doesn't make it true.

First of all I have never had any problems with our Sheriff's dept. I think they are doing a great job, even though I have gotten more warning from state patrol than our kids in brown.

The only complaint I had was when I felt like PTC police could patrol the neighborhoods more.

Now, lets get to the real issue which is criminals who need to be stopped. I think it is a shame that this thug survived after threatening a cop. Again the only good criminal is a dead one.

You keep harping on the sheriff dept, promising this and that will come out, yet nothing ever does, so what say, if you have something legitimate against them, say it don't just keep trowing out innuendo and rumors and other bull, either spit it out or shut up.

I yam what I yam....Popeye

I didn't recognize the name and unless you, yourself, were an eye-witness to his treatment once in custody - then keep your stupid comments to yourself. I was just glad to finally see that somebody has the guts to file suit for what has been going on for years.

Newsflash - not everyone arrested is a criminal - and I do believe in this country you are innocent until proven guilty - that is what I have a problem with - the lies, the corruption, the cover-ups - so regardless of who filed the suit is - I, for one am glad to see those names on the "defendant" side of a document.

I appreciate your concern over my comments, but unfortunately, as so many others have learned to their dismay, there's absolutely nothing you can do to prevent me from commenting on your posts.

One of the sad limitations of teh Internets...

That's our sniffles, winning fans right and left. Oh, forget the right part.
