IMHO and mine only I left MoCo 10 years ago but still maintain northwestern Colorado as my main residence. There is a reason that MoCo is known throughout the state as Mafia County. Your LEO's are a laughing stock. Your DA's are known throughout the state as toss-offs from somewhere else. The good LEO's won't stay once they see the depth of the corruption, and your county and city commissions are happy about it. You have to make the difference get rid of the whole bunch. Get a new DA or request a special investigator from the State AG.
Further clarification: during the hunting seasons it's people management, the rest of the year it's wildlife management. Skunks have their place in the grand scheme of things but we as humans at the top of the food chain, make the choice to feed or not to feed, to attract or not attract and unfortunately, kill or not to kill. Remove the attractant/bait and you remove the choice of kill or not to kill. I've lived in some towns where I'd rather have skunks as neighbors, than the humans that lived near by.
It is apparent to me that an outside investigative bureau is needed to look into CPD, maybe CBI, a special investigator assigned by the State AG or maybe the FBI. Lord knows this PD has violated enough laws on their own to be raked through a very fine seive, at least to weed out the chaff. You might have some good ones but pretty soon a odor sticks even to those who are above reproach and they are guilty by association.
tirednco: I think that your statements of opinion are just like mine. I too have had comments stricken from this forum for the hot truth but, from experience that is not what is wanted here at least the cold hard version. We have to temper it, warm it a little make it a bit more palatable(sp). I can tell from reading you, you think alot like I do, Only my patience ran thin about about 15 years back and I felt it was best to take my family and leave Craig and Moffat County while it was in the mid stages of moral and social decline. So far I've not been proved wrong, my fore sight was much better than 20-20 hindsite. Governments operate in cycles and if you observe long enough you can see the cycle set itself up and then watch it decline and watch the decline of the moral proclivities of law enforcement along with the special programs they've set to police themselves. Call me paranoid but in MoCo who is trustworthy enough to watch the watchers? You have at least one of the same county commissioners in place you had back then, what does that tell you?
'tis indeed a sorry state of 'affairs'. Oh' I just kill me. Sorry I couldn't pass that one by. You have no idea what's going on in your little berg. If you did you'd probably be sick and ashamed of your local LEO's and the DFS or whatever they call it in Colorado with children and family welfare protection. I often wonder who is really being protected, whos' rights are being enforced and who is supposed to be doing the protecting and enforcing. I promised I would not be critical any more only supportive. Sometimes it's really tough.
interesting the way this discussion went. To irishbrat, I didn't write the initial comment that was burnt on this guy when he resigned. I'm just reading between the lines and drawing my own conclusions. As far as corruption being wide spread in MoCo and Craig LEO's you all have to remember the bell curve. My family and I left when some of the Sheriff's finest were beating their wives, and boinking the secretarys and it appeared that they were getting away with it. I'm Fed LO in another state now, and I do have some sympathy for the guy that's going down, because you don't know why or what made him pull this stunt.
So now we know why the single comment that accompanied the original story of the white hat's resignation was burned so fast. But, this just proves the general concensus: LEO's in Craig are foul you smell them two states away. If they're clean when they start they're rats when their OJT is complete. Craig and MoCo residents deserve better than that. If this note gets burned that's okay I'll send another but I'll tone it down I've learned my lesson. I wonder how closely this guy was vetted before he was hired, maybe he was blackmailed or forced to pull this stunt, who knows he's damaged goods now in any case.
Rochelle: I wish you well in all you do and I hope you're able to continue to find the support you need and deserve. I'm 60 years old and have lived my life with bipolar disorder and was not diagnosed until 2003. With the 'proper' prescribed medications my life is much, much different now than it was 10 years ago. Unless you know what it's like to think you're 'crazy' you can't understand what it feels like to be 'normal'.
JAHM: Sorry for your loss. But, I disagree. Cats are very independent creatures they come and they go as they want to. My wife has a cat, one that we got from a rescue organization in Grand Junction. This cat was supposed to be a house cat. But to me that's cruel and unusal punishment, keeping a natural hunter penned up 24/7. It slipped out one day Now it comes home to use the facilities in the garage, eat and visit it's mistress and be petted and loved. It's shots are current and it's neutered and licensed, but it's barely a house cat any more. I deal with it because I love my wife, but one of these days I know I'll have to deal with the smashed cat syndrome, because people insist on driving 45 in a 20
