Merry Christmas

Ddg would like to thank all the first responders for their service this year and also wish them and their families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Be safe and continue to watch out for each other.

The citizens of Laramie County can sleep safely thanks to those of you that man that thin line. You do not hear it often enough and Ddg knows that words are not enough, but Thank You, each and every one!

What Did You Expect?

Of course there is a problem. There is always a problem when the lower ranks see what the sheriff does or does not do and uses that as their barometer of what to do or not do.

After all when the elected sheriff does what he wants (and there has been a lot of documentation for that) and when he wants, why should anyone do differently?

One lieutenant leaves rather than go through the investigation. Another lieutenant that was put on administrative leave resigned. You know, the one that left before and came back to work at the jail as a sergeant. That shows you glick's direct hand in hiring and promoting who he wants. He wasted little time "kissing" his way up. You have other deputies involved in the same mess. Other employees knew, but didn't act, possibly fearing retaliation from the administration. You have a captain that should have known about the situation, but apparently did nothing. Now he is on the hot seat too.

That lays the problem right on glick's desk. What he should have known and when should he have known it? It is glick's administration and his lack of leadership by example. Just another glaring failure for the National Sheriff's Association to ignore. Well, when this story comes out fully (as it will, bet on that), it will be interesting to see what type of spin longshanks tries to put on it. Look for smoke and mirror comments like:

Uhhh I didn't know................
Nothing in the past to indicate..........
As soon as I found out, gosh folks..............................

Will charges be filed? Or will everything be covered up in house with resignations, etc? More importantly, will other prior victims come forward with information once this becomes common knowledge to the general public? Ddg is already aware of at least one prior incident in 2005.

How much will this cost the taxpayers of Laramie County? Oh yeah, it's only insurance money (self-insured/taxpayer/YOUR) that covers it, kind of like obama money.

Nothing here to see folks, keep moving along.
