Nothing like tooting yer own horn

For starters, my mailing address is Gold Hill, but I am 10 miles out of town. Second, if you saw the video of Ron resisting arrest, you would perhaps have a more accurate view of that incident. It is also worth noting that the deputy sued for being fired and...wait for it...won his case. The Sheriff's office has been patrolling Gold Hill for a few years now. Perhaps a little fact checking would be in order...inconvenient, I realize, but nontheless...and in the spirit of full disclosure, or at least as much as I am willing to share, I work in conjunction with Jackson County Sheriff's department, and and am well aware of their strengths and weaknesses...God bless them in their efforts to protect all of us...even the haters among us.
Gunner, you have made some valid (and accurate) points. Yes, the deputy took Ron down to the ground, and the other facts you stated were accurate. I still support and back the efforts of the majority of LEO's, including Sheriff's deputies, although I must admit to somewhat of a bias in their favor. Having said that, if they are wrong, they are wrong, but I am NOT going to paint them all in that light. It would seem we agree more than not...nice to hear points of view that makes me consider other angles.
I find the militarization of the police a bit worrisome, I remember when they were part of the community and here to serve and protect. Now they are here to ticket and observe, to many tax collectors to few good ole cops.
