Alladat1, it's state law that the winning party selects the next sheriff if the present one retires or dies while time is left on his term. You can VOTE on the next sheriff next November. What's unprofessional about that?
Doesn't matter whether he is bullied or what his home life is like, he tried to KILL a police officer. And any police officer wears armor, whether on the streets on in a school. Had Clark not had his on he would be DEAD.
Hey Bflat, if officer Clark was not wearing body armor he would be DEAD. Teenager or not, this kid tried to kill a police officer for no apparent reason. He needs to be tried as an adult because the juvenile system in NC does not work.
DaveyNC, maybe McNeil does not make alot of money on gas but I wonder why for the last 2 months gas at the Alco on 211 near the Hoke Co. line has been $3.19 and across the street it has been $3.29. Also last week in 7 Lakes gas was $3.24 but in Aberdeen and Southern Pines, probably 5 miles from the Alco, gas was $3.35 and $3.36
Maybe I misunderstood your comment about small town cops felling compelled to being armed and armored but a small town cop can be injured or killed just as easily as a big town cop. Even if drugs were legalized that does not stop people from wanting to do harm to a cop. A small town cop is actually in more danger than a big town cop because 99% of the time they answer calls and stop vehicles all alone. The war against drugs is and has been lost but too many people would lose job if they were legal. Again Mr. Bouser maybe I misunderstood your comment but any police officer has to be protected for what he or she will face.
RmeMP, Some people steal because they are lazy, some because of peer pressure and some to make ends meet. In my opinion most are just too LAZY. But as for there being no jobs. They are very hard to find. Most jobs postings receive 70-80 applicants and some more than that.
