Roscoe looks like Harry Potter. Roscoe needs to carry a concealed Roscoe.

He looks like you could rob him with a pointed finger.

Is Ricketts a Rat or a Republican?

Too lazy to look it up

I see the State Police endorse his Democrat challenger this time around. Not having too much luck lately it sounds like.

The mayor of Omaha is also a Republican, and it looks like a good neighborhood, too.

Gov. Ricketts is a Conservative Republican with a great track record. State Patrol Union is against him because he forced them to clean up their internal investigations. He got rid of the good ol boy network at the higher ups in the SP.

He is a Trump supporter, a long time Nebraskan and just a good man.

Just a couple of weeks ago, the guy running against Ricketts said that the first thing he would do is cut the security team for the Governor and his family. He said Ricketts was spending too much. Nothing ever happens in Nebraska anyway.

“Maybe he was walking home from the Y.M.C.A.”

From the article” “I think it was a random event,” Ricketts said. “I don’t think there was any sort of targeting. It was unfortunate. My son was out running at night and got mugged.”

I know its tough for a teenager, but maybe he should do morning runs.

I asked my question because,obviously,if he had been a Rat one could ask what he thought about things like abolishing ICE,closing down prisons and state sponsored "shooting galleries" for junkies now that *his* family's been affected by crime.
