Well as for new comments, after personal experience here lately the new permanent chief for the town of flomaton has now let the badge he wears go to his head as well as McGraw did, two peas n a pod if you ask me and your right Mr. Bondurant (ignorance is bliss) not only do you need to be fired as well i think someone out of state should come and start running this town the way it should be, these police officers are doing more drug than the criminals if only i had a camera at the right times! No one is above the law like you say, and this town is way past due for an overhaul….

Wow. You people are so ignorant. Let the proper authorities deal with the Tedder incident. As for old complaints… Why didn’t you contact the Council sooner. Or, other law enforcement agencies? No one is above the law!
I can’t imagine why the town is broke? Ignorance is bliss!

I remember many years ago when I was a Marine Corps Drill Instructor. When I donned that campaign cover it made me ten feet tall and bullet-proof. Or so it seemed. I can attest to the fact that when one has such power over other people it’s very difficult to approach a certain line and then stop short of crossing over it. Not everybody has that kind of self control instinctively. Police officers are faced with the same dilemma. They are protectors and their very presence deflects anarchy. Most will agree that it’s a hard job, if done properly. Also, not every personality type is suited for that career choice. I strongly urge those tasked with appointing people to such positions to exercise due diligence and wisdom in doing so. BTW, I always thought Buster Crapps was an excellent police officer in Flomaton. I didn’t know him personally but I admired him from a distance.

Being a good police officer is much more than squeezing into a uniform, wearing a gun, and racing around in fast cars. And then trying hard to be intimidating to everybody. I remember when police officers were respected. They were respected because they treated people with respect. It’s not like that anymore. Police officers today are mostly scared among the people they swore to protect. To overcome their own fear they have to take on this bravado swagger to scare people. I remember when only one police officer would show up to make an arrest. And do it successfully without incident. Today it takes a SWAT Team, drug dogs, and a helicopter. I do believe that today’s police officer believes himself or herself to be superior to their fellow citizens. I also believe it would be a better world to live in if we would all try to be a little nicer to each other, even when it’s not required by SOP. Maybe then we can look for that mutual respect again.

Pooh Bear my use of the word victim was misplaced, perhaps I should say you disapprove of Chief McGraw, owing to your use of the title of McGruff. Of course my perceptions could be wrong on that as well.
