It ‘s funny how all of you are posting that the police department is “Terrorizing our town.” Yet very few of you have had little to no personal experience with the department. One you was found at fault for an accident, wonder why you are upset. Also, you post that the officer is fife. I think you were trying to be funny, you weren’t. Are we just suppose to believe that you were not at fault, because you say so. I would, but I try to get as many facts about something before I judge. Should try it some time, it works. One of you posted that you were stopped on Red Apple? Why were you stopped. Guess that is not important to your story. Also, you say that the officer was not rude and eventually left to go to a large party. What is you complaint? There were to many officers out there for the stop? Do you know the officers? Probably not, and they don’t know you. How are they going to know if you have a gun, or are wanted for something and your not going to fight with them. They don’t, just because we have a small town, doesn’t mean we don’t have crimes, drugs, or even murders. We do. I am quite sure they want to go home at the end of their day. I have no problem with how they do their jobs. Also, I recall from some recent council meetings they hired some volunteer police officers. Which would mean that they would have to learn the city and the department, so they would have to ride with a trainer, right? So how do you know this was not a trainer car? You don’t, but it gave you something to complain about. Who is the guy with Barney fife up there? You have got to be the most bitter human being. You have disliked the police department since it started and have just complained and complained. Finally someone listen. Of course they are mostly people that did not like the cops or sheriffs and others that have since been in trouble. Also, you said that you were a police chief at one point. How did your department get along with the public? Was it always perfect, probably not. Why don’t you tell us what department it was so when you reply to this, we can verify it. What is it MADKOW, you are quick to bash. But, I recently read a blog that you posted when someone bashed Tehachapi Towing. Your response stated that you don’t know what the drivers go through and how difficult their job is. Boy, that sounds kind a like the same thing here. You have no clue what they do or what they go through. When was last time you had to deal with a traffic accident or had to see a dead body? Probably, never. Someone also stated that the TPD conviction rate is “Dismal.” How would you know? You go to court all the time to find out. Show your facts; don’t just type your hate. If you have a true complaint why don’t you go into the police department and talk to the chief. Oh, wait you would not be able to hide then. I would lay money on the fact that most of the one’s on this blog that are complaining don’t even live in the city. You probably live in Golden Hills, Alpine Forrest, Stallion, or Bear Valley. As for me I live in the city. I feel better every night when I go for walks or am just out. I know I am less likely to get mugged then before.
