Who ARE all you uneducated people with your slandering comments about the Chief and the Mayor and the police officers who are there to protect you? You don’t like the Chief? Too bad. He has done a lot of good for the town of Flomaton, beginning with getting rid of officers who weren’t doing their jobs.

Do your job, follow the law and there is NO reason for the Chief to fire you. Period.

Did you ever think that the reason Flomaton has been through so many Chiefs is because they kept around the same bad cops for so long? The Chief is trying to clean house and bring in respectable officers who will do their job and protect YOU.
You all keep complaining that the Flomaton PD is a joke and has been for years but now that you have someone in there who is actually trying to bring about changes for the better, you want him gone. Really? Now that he’s fired the officers who weren’t doing their jobs, things should begin to get better in Flomaton.

Chief McGraw cleaned house for YOU, so YOU would be better protected, so there WOULD be officers interested in taking out the drug dealers and all the other people in your town that you complain about. When things DO get better in Flomaton, you have Chief McGraw to thank for it. Remember that.

Grow up already. You ask for something different and when you get it, you don’t like it. Change is hard for everyone. You’re a bunch of cry babies.Cleaning up a crappy PD takes time, it didn’t get that way overnight and it can’t be fixed overnight.

I have only one comment….The person that said if a person is out after midnight the flomaton cops should stop them and ask them what are they doing???…If I am not mistaken Highway 31 and Highway 29 are US31 and US29. If I am not breaking any law I will politely tell the officer it is absolutely none of his business!! Flomaton cops use the ole ‘tag light not working’ to stop people which is so stupid. If flomaton doesnt want people driving after midnight maybe they should try to close the roads!! Keystone cops at their finest!!

REGARDING:
“For David if u know nothing bout the case then how do u know if ur defending the innocent r guilty”

Or perhaps “For David if you know nothing about the case then how do you know if you’re defending the innocent or guilty?” but that’s just a wild guess. I assume you’re doing your best to communicate.

Please TRY to understand I am defending or attacking nobody. I reject the idea, though, that the only alternative allowed is to forget about having good police or living with the police no matter what they do.

I’m not interested in the complaints of those caught breaking the law or in petty politics and rumor. I’m interested in the idea that anyone is above the law (other than the president, of course, since he can pardon himself).

It’s easy to say nobody else has a clue on what it’s like to be a law enforcement officer, easy but wrong.

People who think the police only answer to other police shouldn’t be police. That’s every bit as foolish as saying a doctor should only answer to another doctor-not to the patient, that a cook should only answer to other cooks-not the patrons, that the president should only answer to other heads of state-not the people. Jesus told us we’re known by our results. He wasn’t a law enforcement officer, but I trust Him.

Maybe the people in question did nothing wrong. Maybe they’re the scum of the earth (not likely, but it‘s the opposite end of the spectrum). To claim it’s support them in their deeds or misdeeds or forget about having police protection is simply ridiculous.

David for functional brains

To try to clarify for udontknowhowitistobealeo …most of comments here are directed to one person. No one has said every Leo is bad. I have lots of friends and relatives that are in law enforcement. But there are some out there like this man that gives alot of the Leo’s a bad name. Now either you are a Leo yourself that think everyone here is criticizing your profession, or either your in the same crooked ship he’s riding in..if so you may want to get your life vest out because his is going down fast. Going through as many employees as he has in a year should be enough to say he’s in the wrong. I will just sit back and watch the fall.

Doesn’t look like they will show their face here…if I were mayor or council, I would have been on the phone with the Fdle the day this hit the knows wanting to know who and what they could tell me. But nope, they just shove their heads way down in the sand a little bit further and pretend they don’t know what’s going on. The entire council needs to be voted out as well as the mayor.

the mayor and councilmen are probably reading the not-so-important SOP to see if the chief did anything wrong. Somebody needs to answer some questions about all the goings-on with all the employees that have left or been fired since McGraw has been there, I think the count is up sto 10 now.

For David if u know nothing bout the case then how do u know if ur defending the innocent r guilty…as said b4 u have to know the facts b4 u can judge…u r one of the several that know nothing of what this situation consist of so back to my question how do u know if u urself r defending the innocent r tge guilty party? Its a shame how society makes an impact on 75% of people’s decisions & thoughts on issues that they don’t even know the facts behind the scene…but as said b4 call ya neighbor r friend next time u need help r any assistance from ur local pd & then write ur comments on how well that helped. We all put our clothes on the same way & god created us equal but some r over half of the comments on here have no clue what their talking bought & their basing their info by gossip as always r have had encounters w/ an officer b/c they were n the wrong also known as offenders of the law so their gonna bash when they get the opportunity. Grow up people & quit trying to harass someone that’s out trying to protect & serve the community. If ur not an officer r w/ law enforcement don’t bash if u don’t know how the system works but n another situation u may know how the system works based on how many times you’ve broken the law & done ur study while sitting n ur jail cell!!! KNOW UR FACTS B4 U TALK THE SMACK
