Kentucky sheriff suspends all law enforcement over lack of funding

[Captdon]

America had no organized police forces before 1834.

They relied on a small contingent of volunteers and elected officials.

The second amendment says the "security of a free state" is the responsibility of a "well-regulated militia".

That's the way it should be.

Bull$#@!.

In 1789 the U.S. Marshals Service was established, followed by other federal services such as the U.S. Parks Police (1791) and U.S. Mint Police (1792). The first city police services were established in Philadelphia in 1751, Richmond, Virginia in1807, Boston in 1838, and New York in 1845.

You were celebrating Hillary Clinton claiming that she was going to put coal miners out of work.

Again, if the coal industry dies, it should be by natural forces, not through the force of government.

Did you watch the whole thing or are you sticking with fox talking points.

I watched it when she made the statement at one of her rally's.

You really don't have a response to my comment, do you?

Again, if and when the coal industry becomes obsolete and goes out of business, it should not be through the force of government. It should die a natural death.


Why do you support government determining who wins and loses in our economy?

You may be right, I don't know what the answer would be but there has got to be something other then coal to attract some type of industry that can help them get back on their feet financially again.

Marijuana farms would flourish.

Besides, coal miners deserve to lose their jobs, they all wear blackface like its a good thing.

KSP spokesman William Petry said it puts a strain on troopers if they can’t rely on help from local law enforcement. But he added, “We’re going to respond as we always have.”

That should make your day, @Common.


Dogs are safer now than they were in Martin county.


What's the crime rate in Martin county, anyway? Do you know? What are people most arrested AND successfully prosecuted for? Do you know?

It will be interesting to see how well the residents handle their own affairs without police intervention/escalation.

If they're like me, they'll do just fine.

I suspect that this is going to be intolerable to certain powers and fixed sooner rather than later.

It took two minute men at the border to catch two CIA agents smuggling in a large amount of drugs from Mexico. They didn't have to worry about if the governor approved of which constitutional law they are allowed to uphold.

Excuse me, but what do you mean? Coal miner photos have been deemed racist because they looked like they were in blackface. Its been all over the internet lately. Have you been asleep.

As for the marijuana comment, that stuff is like radishes, it will grow in the dust on top of your tv so since its becoming legal the farmers formerly known as miners could grow it anywhere in Eastern God Forsaken Kentucky.

I imagine law and order will be replaced by vigilante law. That's as it should be. No sworn police, then the people need to enforce the law themselves. It's catch them, hang them and go get a drink.
