HARRISON YARD SIGNS BEING LIFTED BY DEPUTIES

[Anonymous]

I thought this was worthy of being posted. I ran into another Harrison Supporter this weekend. A very nice family who had yard signs on their property. Oddly enough, one of the family members is a surveyor and is very much aware of what the Right-a-way is. One day they looked out their door to see a Lexington County Deputy remove the sign from their lawn and place it in his vehicle and leave with it. Now, I can only assume that either he is a really big Fan of Harrison and wanted that sign badly enough to take it for himself. OR what most likely has taken place is that he was instructed by his superior to remove the signs.

I have a problem with this, as did this citizen who did not break any laws by placing her support signs on PRIVATE PROPERTY and within the guidelines setforth by the county. Can anyone tell me why a Deputy would spend his time removing signage instead of doing his REAL JOB? More important, is Metts so intimidating to his employees that they feel compelled to go out and do this type of childish theft?

What is going on in our Sheriffs Department? IF Metts were to be re-elected and know that would be a monsterous ERROR on the voters part... Someone really needs to take a look at the handbook he has been reading. It sounds more like something from Archies comics that Jughead would do than what a sworn police officier should be doing.

Can you tell us who this person is or give some indication?

There is a tremendous amount of pressure at the Sheriff’s Department now, especially with the Primary about a month away. Deputies, especially the Resident Deputies, are being told by Metts that if Harrison wins in their areas they won’t have a job come June 9th. Therefore, you can understand why some might turn to such drastic measures as pulling up signs. Kind of like your “Out-of-sight Out-of-mind” theory. First he forces us to make donations and now threatens our jobs if he loses!

We all want change, I just hope we make it to see it. Though Harrison has said he would re-hire those that were fired, you still have the problem of feeding your family for six months! :cry:

[Anonymous]

Oh my gosh. That's horrible. :cry: Metts has a serious problem. Just for the record, that is called harrassment. Something that the Department of Labor does not look to kindly on. I am going to request that DOL read this website and see if they will pay Mr. Metts a visit and explain the law when it comes to personnel issues. Seeing these post on here is more than enough to warrant and investigation through DOL. I find it hard to believe that they would turn their heads and not take issue with the demands that this man is placing on his Deputies. No one should work under those circumstances. That is a demeaning thing to do, ask someone to remove yard signs placed on a tax paying citizens private property. How insecure is this man? Really? I hate that anyone has to go through the brow beating, harrassment and threats of job loss because Metts and his gooneys don't know how to talk to people and campaign properly. I think someone with real authority, outside of the Sheriffs Department needs to intervene now.

Chin up! This election process is going to be over before you know it. And hopefully with a qualified change in the staff. Out with Metts / In with Harrison! I have no doubt that Harrison will prevail and will stand true to his promises to the Hard working Deputies and Employees of the LCSD. Including the ones who were wrongfully terminated.

[BTK]

Though I am sympathetic to the Deputies because of their plight, I feel a much bigger issue prevails here. What does it say of our Law Enforcement Officers if they succumb to breaking the law? That’s right! It is against the law to unlawfully remove/take someone’s property, it’s called larceny. There are other laws that govern political signs on the right of way and even those do not allow the removal of political signs that are lawfully placed there. I would hope (but doubt it) that Metts would have this investigated since he is required by law to do so, though the law says it has to be reported and I doubt if that would happen since there would be a sense or fear of retaliation. Since I see that Metts has viewed this site before, he should, if nothing else but to garner public trust, look into the matter. If this act has been initiated by Metts himself then his actions need to reviewed by SLED or as previously mentioned the Dept. of Labor or maybe even the States Election Commission.

It is only a matter of time before this Deputy(s) is caught in the act and then Metts will have to answer to the public as to why he didn’t resolve this issue, especially when it has been discussed on this site and his employees view it!

Of course, with Good Ol’ Boy Politics it’s hard to tell what will happen, that’s why we need to pass on……2004 is all about CHANGE!
:cool:

[Reality]

BTK, you said it all! I just finished my letter to the Department of Labor and Campaign Ethics Committee. My mothers sign was stolen from her home.

In a nice neighborhood, someone stealing signs from a Senior Citizen, just because of who they support. How SAD is that? :evil: I think a letter to the State paper is probably in order too.

2004 HARRISON IS THE CHANGE WE NEED!!!! JUNE 8TH... VOTE.. VOTE... VOTE... TELL YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, CHURCH MEMBERS, PTA CLUBS, RECREATIONAL PARENTS, YOU NAME IT.. GET THE WORD OUT.. METTS HAS TO GO!!!

[Anonymous]

If these signs were taken by deputies or whomever, did you call the sheriff's office & report a larceny of your property, from your property? If you didn't, you should. File a police report. List a Lex. Co. deputy as the suspect. Sheriff can't do anything about it if he doesn't know about it. Reading about it on this page is not enough. If it actually happened, then file a police report. If you file the report & it didn't happen and it's determined you file a false report, then prepare for the circumstances to come.

[Anonymous]

Those who have had yard signs stolen should not only file a report but post the case number on this board. That will allow others such as the news to get a copy of the report.

[Anonymous]

News media goes through the police reports everyday. Personally, I think someone is blowing smoke. I don't believe a deputy stole the sign of an opponent even if Metts told him to do so.

[Anonymous]

Wendyh there have been several individuals who have stated their signs were taken from their yards or threatened to be taken because they were told they were in the right of way. Don't hand me crap about filing a report at the LCSD about signs and how the great Sheriff can't do anything about something he doesn't know about. You see, at the start of the Campaign Daddy Metts had one of Harrisons signs in his office. Being the classy guy he attempts to portray, he made jokes about it.

So, take your candy butt and go blow someone else! Theres nothing going to be done about yard signs being stolen and you know it. The only objective your trying to get is having names for his Boys to call on and harrass. I wouldn't encourage anyone to report it just because of the lack of ethics Metts and his pansies have displayed. Let me rephrase that SOME OF HIS PANSIES.. Because we are fortunate to actually have some GOOD DEPUTIES on the force. And when Harrison takes back over. We will have ALL GOOD DEPUTIES ON THE FORCE...

SEE YA JUNE 8th.... tick... tick... tick...

[Anonymous]

File a report, if it happened. What's Metts going to do, tell his deputies to not respond to your house if you need them? BS. Who are all of these individuals who stated their signs were taken? Are they people who don't mind other people stealing their property? Gosh, a crooks heaven.

[Anonymous]

I see a whole lot of cheap accusations and nothing to back it up. If these people did not report this act, then lets revert to the "put up or shut up" way of doing business.

This shows desperation and cheapens the whole campaign.

[Anonymous]

So does Metts having one of Harrisons signs in his office. Get a grip idiots.. Like you guys would take serious someone calling about a yard sign. Grow up!!!

[Anonymous]

Guess Who-sounds like your blood pressure medicine is not taking. Having a report taken makes perfect sense. It documents that there is a problem and it has the potential to get the media involved. Surely the person who saw the deputy take the sign got a tag number or car number off the side of the car. He could have called LCSD right after it happened and found out who the deputy was. Someone would have to explain whether this was a mistake or a calculated tactic to keep from getting Harrison's Name out in the public.

Thats assuming that this happened. The rule of thumb in law enforcement is: If you don't make a report, it didn't happen. If you were in law enforcement maybe you would know that. :shock:

[Anonymous]

Hey, man, I am not a cop and I'm willing to take their word for it. I think Metts is a sign theif. Just look at the reaction the complaint got here. You think anybody is going to call the cops on something like this. It would just be a bunch of trouble for them. What would they do if somebody like Wyatt or Hammertime showed up. You think they are going to get a fair deal? Ain't no way man. But I think the sign got swiped and that's all there is to it.

[Anonymous]

I think that the incident would have been documented, immediately followed up on, then given to professional standards for investigation. You see, weed whacker, hammertime does what the law says, what a good moral conscious dictates, and in the most professional manner. That's precisely why I am still here with a jacket full of commendations and letters of appreciation.

So, no matter if its a malcontent like yourself, who is predisposed with an opinion because you don't like what I state, the situation would have been dealt with expeditiously and fairly.

The circumstances alone would dictate nothing short of that. Get real, stop smoking what your whacking, and let's do what "holyman" stated, which is so prevelant on this board; "put up or shut up."

[IbCop2]

Well Hammertime, it's good to have you back? Guess you've been dusting off all those commendations and letters you mention. Lets get real for just a second here! You and I both know that, at best, it would have been investigated just slow enough that, IF, anything came of it, it would be long after June 8th before a thing would have been printed up on it. You also know that the average citizen does not know the in's and out's of the system and would never call to report a larceny of a sign and IF they did it would have been taken over the phone.....NO investigation! Besides that I can just imagine the fear or hesitation a citizen would feel about reporting this incident, how would they know that the Deputy that took the sign wouldn't be the one that showed up to take the report. You and I know the system but televison and the movies have put some what of a slant on our true capabilities.

There is no question that I am a Harrison supporter and you are a Metts supporter but for months you have avoided the question, "If Harrison wins, will you work for him or will you resign?". You have such strong ethical standards, I am wondering if the spine is as strong?

[Anonymous]

"Put up or shutup." A police report will put something on file; give you a case# to refer too when you call to see if anything has been done about the incident. The paper will list it in the zip code the incident occured in. As far as I'm concerned, it never happened.

NO DOUBT......Why in hell do you want to start BS like this. Serious stuff when you start accusing a deputy sheriff of larceny. You are a ****** in my book.

[Anonymous]

See what I mean? I say that I think it happened and this dude hammertime shows up with a load of attitude and calls me a malcontent. Can you understan now why a person would be reluctant to call the cops? Who would want to deal with people like that? I would advise the person who had their property stolen to just forget about. Nothing good is going to come of that phone call.

[Anonymous]

Well, will surprises never end? Goober's back! The Big Gulp machine at the Pantry must be acting up again.

Hey....Weed Wacker, where do you live? I need a new lawnmower. I'll just come take it. What hours do you work? Mind if I stop by and get a few things? We can just forget about it, OK.

tick tick tick tick :toimonst: Folks jimmy is going to be leaving the building

[Anonymous]

I'm not missing the point. Someone made an accusation that a deputy sheriff stole Harrison signs from somebody's yard. No Doubt is a ****** & WeedWacker is a redneck. The dog wouldn't be a problem, the shotgun would. That's why I would come visit you when you are not home. Use some common sense. I know you are not that stupid. You can't kill somebody if you catch them stealing your lawnmower. Your life has to be in danger. Now....No Doubt, did a deputy steal the signs or not? You just made it up, didn't you? Call Crimestoppers. You don't have to give your name. As far as I'm concerned, the most honest individual at the sheriff's office is Mel Seboe, the #3 man. Call him. You can get his direct line from the department web page. Believe me he will find out for you if he has a no good, stinking, good for nothing deputy stealing signs. Seboe doesn't care if it was Metts himself stealing the signs. He has absolutely no use for a crooked deputy or sheriff, for that matter. Call him.

[Anonymous]

You think some guy named Seboe is real honest, but you want to steal my lawnmower. You're right, I'm just a redneck but even I can figure you out. In fact, I think I might have been married to you at one time. If you was, you would know I keep the mower in my trailer and if I ain't home it ain't home because I use it during the day. I don't blame anybody for not wanting to call the cops because before it is over they are at fault or they get accused of making stuff up. I think the sign got swiped and I don't trust anybody's word about honest cops when they want to steal my lawnmower. I think the damn sign got swiped and no crimestopper is going to change my mind.

[Anonymous]

When the cats away the mice do play don't they. Lets see. Wendy H. I am starting something and a ******. First, I have been a little busy. Getting votes for Harrison.

Second, I have a police report number now. Of course after reading your post, and seeing how well for lack of better words. COMPLETELY STUPID you are. I am reluctant to put this # out here so you can look it up when you decide to go back to work at the LCSD and then do drive bys, or make threats or whatever else ole Jimmy wants you to do.

As for the other off handed comments. Why are your panties in such a wad? We know there are good cops at LCSD. But, we also that there are Daddy boys who are all about pleasing big Daddy. So, here we go again. Just like the others. If you would like to meet in person to receive this number so I can see who you are and get the 411 I need to show up on your front porch in the event this innocent person suffers retrobution for telling the truth then I'm there. You name the place and time. Hows that for PUT UP OR SHUT UP A@#HOLE!!!

O.K. Goober, the dime has been dropped. Let's see if you can hold up your end. Put up or, well, you know the tune by now.

[Anonymous]

No Doubt....You name the place & time. I'll come to your turf. If you got a case# I must have missed the report when I went through them. Bring the police report with you. I'll make sure the deputy you accused of stealing the sign is dealt with. If you can't think of a place to meet, let me know. I'll make the arrangemets. Put up or shut up.

[Anonymous]

All I see coming from this is a HUGE cat fight! :axe: Hey, take video! :twisted: Personally No Doubt, I wouldn't show, sounds like a set-up to me, Jimmy and the boys will be around, I am sure! :yawinkle:

[Reality]

I will be at the Sheriffs Department with the report I picked up from one individual and will see if the person who stated the Deputy came and removed it from her house will appear with me. She didn't file a report. But, we can do it while were there can't we.

Just leave your REAL NAME at the window with Dispatch. That way when we arrive, you'll be sure to be notified.

[Reality]

No Doubt email me with yours.

[Anonymous]

I said it once and I'll say it again. Don't trust no cop. Before it is over it will be all your fault and just a big lie. DOn't trust them.

[Anonymous]

It has been known that the sheriffs dept does not take reports on little items as just a sign being removed. If any should Metts should move his from hwy#1 at the Pitt Stop near the Lex High School. This does cause a visual problem for drivers. Go Larry maybe you should add one to this location!

[Anonymous]

No Doubt, Reality.....I'll meet both of you at the Sheriff's office. I would like to see a police report accusing a deputy of stealing a campaign sign. Just name the date & time & I'll be there. I spend a lot of time there now. But you don't trust a cop. Well lets see who is telling the truth here. Tell me when you want to meet me at the Sheriff's office. Hell I'll meet you at a Waffle House, I don't care. I just don't believe a cop stole a campaign sign from someones yard. No catfight, just the truth. If it happened, I want the deputy dealt with, I want him prosecuted. Don't you? Are you too scared to come forward? If you are, I'm not. I'll do it for you. Guest...Sheriff's dept may not take a report, but every call that is received is recorded and a case# is assigned. Even if a deputy is dispatched there is a record of the call coming in, and a computer print out can be obtained.

[Anonymous]

I know I can have a CAD report pulled. This woman will have to file the compaint while she is there. I cannot file something I did not witness. But, I can definately get her back if I need to. As far as meeting. I will be in touch. Keep checking in. It most likely will be Friday evening. Thats the closest my schedule will alot for this week. I do however have the report that was filed late last year from a sign stolen in a Lex Co subdivision.

[Reality]

I forgot to leave my signature on the above post. Just so you know who that guest is.

[Anonymous]

Reality! Wake up and smell the coffee. All Wendyh wants to do is get at your lawnmower! Don't trust them cops. Ever see one of them pay for anything at a 7-11? Just ask yourself............

[Anonymous]

Also, keep this in mind. The sheriff's department has more than one report of Harrison signs being stolen (not by deputies). Some might be assigned for investigation - some might not be depending on various factors. Someone may actually want to check with Larry Harrison since he is the victim, and see if people from the sheriff's department have made contact with him. Believe it or not but the people at the sheriff's department will try to find out who is stealing signs no matter what office they are running for.

[Anonymous]

The only sign I care about is the one No Doubt says was stolen by a Lexington County Deputy. If there are other reports of stolen signs and a deputy was seen stealing it, then I want to know about it. By the way, Friday night is fine. Let me know what time. If you can show me a report listing a deputy as a suspect stealing a sign, & if I can prove it, I'll have his job. He will also have a criminal charge. Believe it.

[Anonymous]

They can't catch that black dude that's sticking a gun in peoples faces and robbing them all over the place, but they will take all the time in the world for this. Just think about it. It's going to come out in the cops favor, you can bet on that. Don't trust them.

[Anonymous]

I'll take all the time in the world to find out if a deputy is stealing. God knows we got enough crooks out there we don't need law enforcement breaking the law. I want to get rid of the bad apples. I don't care who they work for or who, if anyone, instructed them to pick up Harrison campaign signs. I just don't believe a Lexington Co. deputy is that stupid to risk his carreer and political promise to do something like steal campaign signs. If I was going from cop to crook, I would make it worth my time; it's like starting out in a new carreer. Might as well get your resume full, if you know what I mean.

[Anonymous]

There is a simple explaination for the theft of Harrisons signs, Metts in a not so polite way, told the deputies to take them if they felt they were on the right of way of the road.

This occured during the "meetings" that Metts was having with each shift or division last summer. Metts even had a Larry Harrison for Sheriff sign he held up (now do you think Metts asked Harrison for the sign or just took it???) as he threatened the employees with supporting him (Metts) or they would be fired!! And of course asked for campaign contributions.

Metts told the employees they would be enforcing the law to remove any signs they "thought" were on the right of way. Gee, if that isn't Metts condoning his deputies to remove/steal/take Harrisons signs nothing is!!

But yet Metts's signs are on the right of ways too.... how many deputies have you seen enforcing the law by removing Metts signs????

The more citizens I talk to the more are supporting Larry Harrison. Especially the employee's of the sheriff's department (Jimmy you can thank Timmy for this).

Someone has also asked about the polls and who took them. Anyone running a serious political campaign has data companies conduct polls for them, and it is just as accurate as any conducted by a media outlet. I know that Harrison has had polls conducted and he is well ahead of Metts. I am sure that Mett's has had polls conducted too, but you don't hear any numbers, the reason is simple, Harrison is ahead!! This is also why Metts won't debate Harrison or do public appearances when Harrison is around. Metts doesn't want to try and explain the 60% increase in the budget and some shaddy budget/spending items. (And just who are those part-time employees again??)

For the first time in Metts's life he is running scared, very scared. Larry Harrison is poised to win in the primary.

[Anonymous]

See, I told you so! It turns out the Sheriff is behind it all. OH! let's find out who this deputy is so we can "get rid of the bad apples." The old saying that "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" sure fits this deal. You can't trust any of those people. O.K. Wendyh, let's see you shag the Sheriff's lawnmower. When are you going to confront Metts and get to the bottom of this. There must be a record of this meeting because "if it ain't written down on paper it didn't happen in law enforcement." I'm going to buy better locks for my trailer to protect myself from the cops!

[Anonymous]

So basically, taking in consideration the above post. This Deputy feared losing his position so he did what he was instructed to do. And, if reported he will lose his job anyway!

I don't know what crime is worse at this point. I don't know if he should be punished for his fear or punished for his lack of ethics. If he is reported then he most likely will be punished for both. Following the orders but getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar and exposing Metts and committing a misdemeanor crime.

This is really disturbing. :shock:

[SoyYo]

Sorry to interrupt spitum.... A POINT OF INQUIRY

No Doubt, Reality...... Guest...Sheriff's dept may not take a report, but every call that is received is recorded and a case# is assigned. Even if a deputy is dispatched there is a record of the call coming in, and a computer print out can be obtained.

:shock: :?: WendyH's posting brought up another bit of curiosity. Different from any law enforcement organization I worked with LCSD road officers do not keep any "run log" aka "radio activity report" etc. in which Patrol officers make record of when they received runs, to where, response time, and most importantly what happened including names of individuals spoken with. The Dispatch "computer print out" has very little information, at least in June 2002. I saw no notes taken on any form of field interrogation log.
Is there some historical or hysterical reason? With all the comments about terminated Deputies I would think the Infernal Affairs types would want to require a log to show a lie to allow unemployment.
Tangentally, do you guys and gals do Field Interrogation Reports?[/b]

[Anonymous]

Deputies use to fill ouy dailey log sheets. That was 15 years ago. The CAD system in dispatch records every incoming call as well as every call dispatched. No Doubt is beating around the bush. He can't produce and his friends can't produce a police report showing a deputy as a suspect in stealing Harrison signs. He's a liar.

[Anonymous]

Then where did Metts get his Harrison for Sheriff sign? :oops:

[Anonymous]

This will be the only time you will see me post on this page. I retired from the LCSO October, 2002. I was Captain over investigations. I know what I'm talking about. Wendyh is absolutely correct. No Doubt, if a deputy stole a campaign sign and you go through the proper channels and it's proven, I assure you that deputy will be dealt with. It doesn't matter if Jimmy Metts, Larry Harrison, or Jimmy Brazell is sheriff, neither one of them would want a dirty, no good, stinking thief of a deputy in their organization. If you want to report it to someone, call me. I'll make sure your name will not come up and the deputy is dealt with. That is if it happened. 608-5576.

[Anonymous]

No Doubt I forgot to tell. If this incident didn't happen, don't waste my time & your time contacting me. I don't deal liars. If you know Larry Harrison like you say you do, then ask him about me. He'll tell you.

Hey Captain McNair! You gonna investigate that sign Metts had in that meeting. You gonna get to the bottom of that one? You're ready to tear some nobody deputy a new one. How's it work when they come a little higher up on the food chain? An all that stuff about being able to trace calls and find out who did what when. Just think about it. It is no wonder that the person who had their sign stolen doesn't want to get in the middle of this. It is only going to come out one way. That why they don't trust the cops and why I don't trust the cops. Where's the call about the sign Metts had in the meeting. Where's the report. Let me guess, "if it ain't wrote down it didn't happen." There is no doubt in my mind that if that person steps up and announces that their sign was stolen, they will wind up in jail. This thing ain't gonna come out but one way. In the cops favor.

[Anonymous]

Wendy H. I am a female. Secondly, it's not BS and it is not up to me to make the report. Unfortunately, I made a huge mistake of telling her to read what deputies wrote about helping her on this website. It doesn't help to hear that there will be retrobution on her part for reporting it.

Also, if it were me. I would have complained to Jimmy himself. I have no problem going straight to him. Its not the first time I have been head to head with him, and I can assure you, it will not be the last. Your low on the foodchain.

McNair. I don't know you. Have heard several positive things about you. I am not even close to being in law enforcement. However, I am very informed about law and know the difference between right and wrong. The fact that you put your name and posted your number is assurrance that you will be more standup to speak with than Wendy H. Who is a guy by the way that I couldn't even get to leave his name to really get the proper help.

I will however confirm what I know and what you stated with Harrison to make certain of whom I am dealing with. At that point, I will reassure this innocent person who happen to see the deputy drive away with her sign and encourage her to file a report. I would be hard press to report someone who is supposed to enforce the law, actually break the law on CO TIME. You have to look at a citizen perspective and understand how ludacrious it would look to report a Deputy in uniform for removing a yard sign when there are robberies, drug problems, gang problems, CDV problems, traffic violations, etc... You can see why it appeared to be more of a nuiasance than a crime.

I will however be in touch.

Regards.

[Anonymous]

No Doubt, I hope what you heard about me was good. If you want to find out the truth, contact me. If it happened or didn't happen, I'll find out for you. As a cop and as I am now in the private sector, I am "truth driven" and work very hard to get to the bottom of things. I don't want a dishonest deputy patroling the streets in Lexington Co. and neither does Jimmy Metts, Larry Harrison or anyone else for that matter. From here on I will just read this mess. There will be no more posts from me.

[Anonymous]

What about the sign Metts had. I guess we aren't so driven to find out about that one. Somebody says a deputy swiped a sign and everybody is ready to skin him. Somebody says the Sheriff swiped a sign and everybody just looks at their feet. Think about it. Is it any wonder nobody trusts the cops?

Someone please ask mcnair why he "retired"!! Of all people talking about ethics... what a joke. Hey Carlisle, I heard it took a week to clean your car. Something about having little girl panties stuffed in the back seat,,oh my bad she was 17

I am at a loss for words. Folks I think we have finally found that place where the sun never shines....the black hole of cops ....the LCSD. They think we love them when the truth is we can't stand them. If they are not trying to put the blame on the victim, then they are swiping signs or digging ladies underwear out of their cop cars. No wonder they don't get it. Just think about it. Is Sheriff Jimmy running a goat roping or what? I don't want nothing to do with any of them. You can't believe a thing they say and you can't trust them no farther than you can throw them.

[Anonymous]

I am at a loss for words. Folks I think we have finally found that place where the sun never shines....the black hole of cops ....the LCSD.

You say this now but who will you call when someone breaks into your home or steals your car?

There are good cops out there! Men and women who put their lives on the line everyday for a low income job. Missing quality time with family, coming in to work for court after working 12 hours the night before and only having 4 hours sleep before going back to work another night. Women who raise their children alone because their husbands are never home or home in time to kiss their children good night due to a last minute call that turned into something that kept them there for 4 hours longer.

My husband does not work for LCSD, however, I did quite a few years ago. We both know many great men and women who work there. How can you lump all the honest and hard working deputies in with a few bad cops. That is very unfair!

[Anonymous]

You can't! Because I have some friends who work in Law Enforcement who would give you the shirt off their backs to help anyone. There are a few bad seeds on the force. They are like that everywhere. Unfortunately, the black cloud of James, Metts and some of the bad apples has tainted the views of the department. There are still some very good men and women who work there. I doubt if Harrison would have committed to keeping them on his site if he thought they were all bad.

Its just getting a little worse because of the election. Metts stooped to low levels by making some of the request that he did to these men and women and when they tried to please him, it made them look bad. But, if they don't please him, then he makes life worse on them. A lot of them are between a rock and hard place. I empathize with some. But then there are those handful that I would like to take out and teach a lesson to personally. You just have to know that no one thinks ALL police are bad. Even Weedwacker would have to agree with that.

I respect and appreciate the jobs that the men and women do in Law Enforcement, Fire Department, EMS and any other protective and community oriented position that saves lives. You just have to overlook the bad and see the good. Ok, with the exception of the few boneheads who posted out here. We don't have to over look them. We just have to look for them when Harrison makes Sheriff. :lol:

Stop it! I'm getting all misty eyed. Listen, the LCSD is just like a fish, it rots from the head down. I don't need to hear how you have suffered (sounds like the Captain had a rough time in his cop car). Tell me how you're going to earn my trust after all I have heard and seen. They have worked at getting lumped together. Just think about it.

[Anonymous]

Weed wacker you missed my point. If there all bad, then do you think Harrison is bad? Afterall, he is a cop!

[Anonymous]

He's not at LCSD. My point, if poorly made, is that nothing will change at LCSD until "I'm theG@#d^&* Sheriff" is replaced by somebody who is willing to pay attention to what is going on in the departnment and who is willing to inspire a little professionalism. As for the great unwashed mass of people in the county (of which I am one), it's going to take more than a plate of barbecque to convince me that Metts is anything other than a second rate political hack teamed up with an undertaker. Just think about it. Do you really want a plate of barbeque a cornoner hands to you?

The deputies at LCSD seem pleased as punch with the way things are. They should be the ones doing the most to change things, but they aren't. They don't care what Metts does as long as he doesn't mess with them. And as long as he is off doing his thing somewhere else. Hell, they even helped PAY to get him re-elected.

"My husband worked 18 hours a day and never got to kiss his kids good night," My big old butt. The deputies do everything in their power to keep some hack in office and then can't figure out why they got screwed and then want the rest of us to feel sorry for them. Meanwhile, all we hear about is how they are covorting about and frolicking with each other. If they want it this way, they can have it. Just don't act all bewildered by why I don't trust any of them or want to have anything to do with them. They are getting exactly what they asked for and exactly what they have earned.

Just last night on television (WIS news - I don't have cable). They showed three deputies, count'em THREE, handing a summons to some poor dope who wouldn't clean up some junk he had on his property. It took THREE of those clowns to do that. It's laughable. We don't have too few deputies, we've obviously got way too many.

Think about it.

Maybe there was a valid reason for three showing up. He could have a history of violence. For that matter, what if he is mentally unstable and pulled a gun and started shooting?

I think 3 was most likely a bit much but when it comes to officer safety, sometimes more is better. At least from a police wife's view!

[Anonymous]

You could say that about anybody. Maybe they should've just sprayed some of that tear gas in his face and pinned the ticket it on his shirt while he was squawling on the pavement. Think about it. That's why I don't want to have nothing to do with any of them.

I am afraid that weed wacker is mistaken. The deputies at the sheriff's department do a fantastic job considering the conditions they have to work under.

Jimmy Metts has brought Timmy James in and changed the way the department operates. This has brought the department to an all time low. The deputies who work there do not like the situation or conditions, but they have families to feed and a career to maintain. They certainly do not want to give up their seniority or rank they have earned to start over somewhere else.

Instead they support Harrison knowing that the change will be a better working environment and bring the department back to where it should be, where they have a voice and can help build the department. Not just crapped on while Tiny Tim does what he wishes with his "cayce boys".

The deputies will be fired if they don't go along with the program, but behind the scenes they are working for the change to get rid of the "G*@)!amn sheriff".

You can take that to the bank!

Weed whacker, you are entitled to your opinion, but I personally take offense to what you are saying! I work at LCSD and your opinion is absolutely wrong! There are some very hard working and honorable people who work in the enforcement divisons who, like myself, are there because we truly do care about this county and the citizens. We don't play politics, we just do our jobs! It bothers me that you feel the way you do because it's narrow minded people like you that would somehow like to blame the police for everything, and that's just unfair and wrong. If you don't trust us that's fine, but whether you like it or not we are the only thing between you and the criminals that would seek to victimize you and your loved ones! Don't paint us all with a broad negative brush stroke, because to put it simply....YOU DON'T KNOW US ALL! :evil:

[Anonymous]

How do you know that I don't "know you all." You say I'm narrow minded, but I think you are wrong. I am supposed to forget about the high handed treatment we get from the Sheriff's office for three and a half years the minute I get an invite to have a free plate of barbeque. I am supposed to notice that I practically never see a deputy around where I live. I am supposed to be grateful that when I do have a problem I get directed to a phone machine. If I do get a deputy there is nothing they can do and they tell me to go to the magistrates office. If you just try walk in the court house you get treated like a criminal or worse. Empty your pockets...let me run this wand over you. Oh, I know you all better than I want to. But I'm not supposed to noitice being treated like a dog. No, I'm supposed to burst out in tears of gratitude because somebody might steal my car and then I would "need" them and then I would be taught a good lesson wouldn't I? Well, I have had my car stolen and all the sheriff's department was good for was a report to give my insurance company.

And that free plate of barbeque? I challenge you. Go to that thing and just see how free that barbeque is going to be. I wager that between you and the food will be an army of deputies accepting "donations." My big old butt. I know you people and I know there ain't no free barbeque.

[Anonymous]

WeedWhacker-you are obviously totally against any law enforcement authority figure, so your motives are crystal clear. Go roll yourself another blunt and mellow out in your lazy boy. You'll be alright.

C. McNair-I am glad you stopped posting before the multitude of felonies you committed got thrown up here. Holy crap....you were the worst supervisor every. Anger management, porking on duty, missing evidence, mishandled evidence, and misappropriated funds?!?

[Anonymous]

I am not anti-law enforcement. I am anti-too big for their britches, arrogant, don't criticize me because I'm just too good law enforcement. Go pick up your free eats at the 7-11. You'll get over it.

AIN'T NO FREE BARBEQUE!!!!!!!!

[Anonymous]

By the way, look at the way you're talking about one of the former "Big Pigs" over at the Sheriff's Department. And you wonder why I don't have any respect for you people? Park behind Krispy Kreme and have another donut. Just remember, one way or the other you're going to have to pay for your barbeque. It ain't ever free.

[Anonymous]

Weed Wacker,

I hope you are on Bull Street already Weed Wacker. What this world needs is a few more red necks, no, NOT. You seem a little mentally disturbed, or completely illiterate.

[Anonymous]

What makes you think I work at WIS TV? You don't have to be a redneck to know that there ain't no such thing as free barbeque! Finding out what people really think ain't always a lot fun is it? I am not disturbed, I just know what I think and that disturbs other people. I suggest you consult the writings of Dr. Karl Mennenger if this causes you any anxiety.

From where I sit, anyone who truly believes they are going to get a free plate of barbecue from Metts and Harman are truly self-deluded.

Go in peace, Moe-Joe.

After hearing all of the discussion about Harrisons signs being stolen I am taking matters into my own hands.

I do believe that Metts has told his deputies to take the signs whenever they can, he seems pretty desperate at this point. You have never heard that any of Metts signs are being stolen, so you have to figure the deputies are doing it. More than likely the resident deputies since they have been threatened that they would be fired if Metts lost their district.

I have been in the computer technical business for some time and do a lot of work with private investigators and businesses who need small surveillance cameras. Since I already have the expertise and equipment I am going to set up some of my equipment to watch some locations and see if I can't get photo's of the thief's.

If they are deputies I believe Metts will throw them to the wolves and make examples out of them so he can claim he did not authorize it or condone it.

My eyes and spys are out there and one is already set.

It's bed time and my friends are at work. :shock:

Goodnight all.

[Anonymous]

I really like the way you operate, my friend. I am fascinated by your approach to this little problem. But let's make it a little more fun, shall we? For every sign theif you photograph, or can otherwise identify, I will make a contribution to the Harrison campaign. I will also send a check, in the same amount, to the Boy Scouts of America in your name.

In the meantime, I will pay a substantial reward to anybody who can positively identify the individual who stole the Harrison sign that was used by Jimmy the Crotch in his infamous meeting.

Happy hunting!

[Reality]

:twisted: FACT: I volunteered to put out Harrison signs this weekend and this week. I placed over 100 signs out. There were 10 removed from the City of Lexington and 15 removed from other various locations.

Now, how sad is Metts, those Deputies and his supporters? If Harrison was no threat to Metts and his campaign, WHY STOOP to such LOW LEVELS? You really have to think about that. I don't see Harrison supporters running around ripping up Metts signs. Although everytime I pass one, I have to admit.. it does make me want to rip it down. But, I reframe. I am an adult and I believe that competition is healthy.

Clearly, Metts and his supporters and goons believe that Competition is SCARY and they feel the need to comfort themselves by BREAKING THE LAW!!!

Yeah, stellar guy you Metts supporters are voting for... He broke it the day he flashed it in his meeting and bragged about. Keep up your handy work. It won't be long and your a#$ will be in the same sling... You lay with dogs and your bound to come up with fleas... You supporters of Metts and Brazelle are fricken infested.

Fear not.. EXTERMINATION IS ON THE WAY!!! JUNE 8th... Hey, maybe pvc can write us another little jingle to show how intellectual he is again!! NOT!!

Grow up people. Really...

[Anonymous]

I had three signs that I saw everyday going to work. This morning as I am coming out of my neighborhood, one was missing.

I get to Highway number 1 and the other is missing. Then when I get to 378 another one is missing.

These aren't flowers to take home to your Mommy. These are paid for signs that belong to the Harrison Campaign. I agree, Metts and Brazelle must be very afraid to have to enlist their supporters and those alike to go out and theive and steal for them.

I guess the redneck, low class in both of them is beginning to really show us all their color now. Yet another reason to VOTE FOR HARRISON!!

[Anonymous]

I know what happened to the signs. Maybe, the detective sergeant took them when he left the state and thought it would look nice in his yard.

[Anonymous]

:roll:

[Anonymous]

:???: How disappointing it is when you have adults running around at night and theiving signs that ignorant delinquents. We are supposed to be setting examples for our children people, not teaching them how to hide the competition in a closet because your afraid of it.

Your theory of "out of sight, out of mind". Can only work for so long people. The election is June 8th. Word of mouth gets out more than signs anyway. I for one am now telling people to vote and then telling them how low Metts and Brazelle stoop when they have competition. If anything you guys just made your candidate look like bigger asses for having supporters who do their dirty work because they can't get off their "big ole butts" to do it themselves. Or be man enough to take it for what it is. Healthy Competition. My bad.. You people only know how to stab in the back, not face your opponents!

Hell, no wonder theres been no debates with all three of them for us to talk to. Harrison answers questions, Metts hides and Brazelle "well, he don't really know, he'll just get in office and see what needs fixed up and then come up with a plan" Great foundation by the way!! :twisted:

JUNE 8th tick, tick, tick.... Thank goodness it's right around the corner.
