Choices for Sheriff by MickeyK
Two of the people running for Sheriff I have had personal run ins with and don't think either one are a good choice for Sheriff. One my employees complained about for sexual harrassment, and the other when I told him of that complaint black balled me for a job because of the complaint. Both of the two were in law enforcement and still are. Is this the kind of behavior we want from our Sheriff in Catoosa County? I don't.

| | The nature of the job means police work tends to attract the one type of personality least suited to handle that line of work. Thugs, bullies, people who, if they didn’t become policemen, would be criminals flock to law enforcement careers like flies to fecal matter, and once there, they’re almost impossible to dislodge, because the collective fantasy embraced within the law enforcement clique—a reactionary "we’re at war" seige mentality, totally removed from the reality of the job and divorced from any thought for its proper place in a society—means they circle the wagons when faced with any effort to address problems.
The job shapes the man

| | It’s true many of our policemen become rough and insensitive and they get caught up in the system. It seems that they all have watched to many T.V. shows and movies about crime. Nowadays it’s unusual for policemen to have a casual talk with a citizen. They have isolated themselves from the average citizen. There’s one man running that’s never been in police work.It might be best to step outside the system this time around.
