Flomaton is a great place to live and if anyone dont realize that, they are missing out on enjoying all the perks this area has to offer. I am saddend to see how people seem to like to blame issues on anyone that they choose even if they did not cause the issue . The previous postings seem like people are making this a mayorial issue. How convenient!!! When this is really a story of an individual (police chief) that made a mistake! He who is without sin, cast the first stone. The ex-chief will be held accountable for his actions if the law finds reason. As for blaming this situation on the mayor, both mayorial candidates are good people and did not cause this to happen. Vote for whoever you want to vote for, just stop all of this unnecessay bashing of good people.

People are saying he is having some personal issues. I understand that, because we all do. And, for some reason, I hope everything works out in the end. But even law enforcement cannot hide from sweet, ruthless Karma. That is what this is. And if any of the press follows through with the rest of this story, or makes extra effort in investgating, alot of folks will realize that this is exactly what is going on. What goes around, comes around, forever.

To debby thompson:

We as mother’s stand behind our children and that is good. Mr. Thompson worked for the Town of Flomaton so that made him a public figure and everything he did, good or bad had a good chance of getting to be public.

Police officers have a dangerous job and most of the time they are not appreciated for what they do, but it seemed that Mr. Thompson was, so this has made people feel sad and hurt. If he was not your son you too would be hurt and saddened, and would wonder why why why…………

I think we all need to stop glorying in DT problems and lift him and his family in prayer , he is not the first and will not be the last to let man down but he also prob feels he let himself down but this to shall pass, he is a good person , and very professional , he did have a good response time the times i had to call the last few years, He is human not God he is the only perfect one but one a ending note I do feel the house needs to be clean,,, time for a change ,, starting with Mayor sorry Bondurant , I think you should bow out gracefully before the mud startys slinging,, in your direction

It seems to me the problems in our town start at the top and work their way down from there. How much is enough Flomaton has turned into a joke and a really good punchline, but we can change that very easily it is called a vote. Just one can make the difference!

Its sad that a month ago Brookes (Daniel) Thompson was a hero to many, he makes 1 mistake and many forget all the good things he has done. As hard as it has sometimes been for him, he has always owned up to his shortcomings without excuses. He IS a good, sensitive person and I have become physically ill reading some of the comments from some very unforgiving, unappreciative citizens. Perhaps thats why you people can’t keep a chiel of police in your great town. He has bragged about this town to me too many times to count and to turn against his is a disgusting shame. Oh, for the record, I am his mother whom is very, very proud of the man he has become, despite his shortcomings!!

In response to “how can you run a government of law without law enforcement?”
Easily…ask Century or Jay or Pollard or Chumuckla..I could go on and on. These citys are making out just fine without a “one horse police station”. The crimes in these citys are truthfully probably not near as bad as it is in Flomaton because the deputies do more of a job than just stopping out of town motorist coming through town. The problem you run into when you have these small mayberry style police departments, and no discredit to the officers that work there, is that the politics control who gets a ticket and whi doesn’t. With deputies it will not matter if the mayor or council wants to drop a ticket or not..if they break the law they pay!
