One Scared Sheriff

It's what he said! So what does longshanks fear??

According to the wte on 020911 "Right now I'm telling you I'm scared of man camps." Ohhhh no, the man camps are coming, the man camps are coming!!!!!!!

Ddg replies:
Scared of man camps? What kind of a leader are you? Ddg already knows your lack of leadership, but this makes it apparent to even the most hardened glick supporter. Do the deputies not have the training and equipment that they need?  After eight years of being in charge, you have failed to supply the training that they need. Laramie County has another four years of longshanks' overinflated ego along with his lack of leadership to look forward to.

According to wte: with a lack of law enforcement in the rural areas where the man camps may be established, there will need to be an increase of patrol, Glick said.

Ddg replies:
If there is a lack of law enforcement in the rural areas, whose fault is that? How long has that been going on? What does longshanks plan to do about it after being in charge for eight years and why has he not done something before this?

According to wte: requested that the county commission alert him as soon as it knows of a possible man camp moving into the area.

Ddg replies:
Waiting until notified is not an option. Perhaps being proactive and doing something, but that is not what longshanks is about.

According to wte: he said that he would not want to send one deputy to respond to a call at a man camp.

Ddg replies:
So a call for a vehicle identification check requires two deputies? Does a disturbance between two drunks require a SWAT call out?

According to wte: does not want his office to get behind the eight ball.

Ddg replies: So longshanks has not contacted any of the other counties in Wyoming that have had oil development and man camps and gotten information from them to be proactive in law enforcement and make informed decisions? Instead longshanks comes across as the scared and weak individual that he actually is. Laramie County deserves better, but thanks to glick being able to talk the talk without walking the walk, there will be four more years of political promotions, firing of experienced and qualified deputies who stood up to longshanks, and anything else longshanks decides to come up with. After all, he is the leader. You must respect him!

Odds and Ends

From the Ddg comments received section:

(1) ""If anyone can hear me...." (on the east channel) should be a radio transmission for assistance-that there is a problem that you need help in solving. Not just a transmission because you are lonely (afraid?) and need someone to hold your hand. Who is this brainchild that they let go out there alone?"
From Ddg:
What prompted this transmission? Just a deputy who found himself out east where the radio and cell telephone coverage is less than optimal. The real world, not just around town.

Should you be surprised about how many deputies are not used to being by themselves out in the big, open county with no other uniforms in sight?

(2) "Glick was asked to leave the Clown's Den for suggestive behavior"

From Ddg:
So why would longshanks abandon his old drinking hole and go to another one, especially one so far away from his usual haunt? Maybe just a boy's night out? What do you have to DO to be asked to leave the Clown's Den? Probably more than the ordinary actions in a strip bar fueled by alcohol!

(3) "Sgt ************** parked behind the weigh station with a female in his patrol car"

From Ddg:
Wouldn't be the first time a patrol car has been used for other than official business. Anyone remember the deputy caught behind Arp School on night shift some years ago with a co-worker (female) in a compromising position?

Ddg's collective memory does! No, the name will not be mentioned. Either you know or you don't.
