"I said really, he is 3 years old, and he said it doesn't matter," said Dillan's grandmother, Jennifer Warden. "[He said] It is public urination. I said we are on our property and he said it's in public view."[More]As is typical more often than not, we know the name of the mom and the grandmother, and we even know the name of the three-year-old, but the the name of the badged pissant spraying all over those he has been given power over is somehow a state secret the Authorized Urinalists dare not divulge. At least it looks like the mayor and chief ended up reversing things as far as the ticket goes--but here's the thing: Not only is their unfixed dog out there throwing his authoritah around and bullying the people he's supposed to be serving, his "courtesy" of writing a $2,500 fine we learn about in the first link turns out to be utterly without merit under state law.
Protection of public employees being what it is these days, things are probably set up so they can't fire Barney Fife outright, but I'd say the public has a right to know who this menace to society is, and see what other examples of abuse they can pin on him--surely this can't be the first time he's whizzed on a citizen. At the least, people ought to be able to simulate taking a leak every time he passes by, and then point and laugh at the silly sumbich.

ReplyDelete8 or 9 of the local good old boys should maybe adjust his attitude.
The pee police, they live inside of my head.
ReplyDeleteThe pee police, they come to me in my bed.
The pee police, they're coming to arrest me, oh no.
You know that talk is cheap, and those rumors ain't nice.
And when I fall asleep I don't think I'll survive the night, the night.
'Cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my drain.
The pee police, they live inside of my head.

Well, I can't tell lies, 'cause they're listening to me.
And when I fall asleep, bet they're spying on me tonight, tonight.
'Cause they're waiting for me.
They're looking for me.
Ev'ry single night they're driving me insane.
Those men inside my drain.
I try to sleep, they're wide awake, they won't leave me alone.
They don't get paid to take vacations, or let me alone.
They spy on me, I try to hide, they won't let me alone.
They persecute me, they're the judge and jury all in one.

They're looking for me.

An in the irony category, the ad with this story to the upper right of the page was for the Oklahoma Pork Council, with "The Power of Pork" and "Win in the Great Pork Giveaway":

Nonsense such as this makes me glad that here in Texas nobody under the age of 10 can commit a crime. They might commit a proscribed act but they cannot commit a crime because they are too young.
ReplyDeleteI agree that a group of local boys (even some of his collegues who are hurt by his stupidity) need to take this asshole out behind the barn for a little "attitude adjustment". Brogands applied to the buttockal area usually serve as a good start.
LEO Qualls would be well advised to consult a dictionary for the definition of "culpability" and then consult his state's penal code as to its definition of "criminal responsibility". This advice is predicated upon the supposition that the idiot has the ability to read.
