I agree with you. We still have Andy Taylors out there, but there are too many idiots like the ones in Henderson, unfortunately. Would that we had more Sheriff Andys...
Yep, need LEO with more brains and common sense. The best Deputy Sheriff we had out here was 30 years ago and the man was the image of a country lawman, big burly guy with a pot belly- he didn’t finish school and could not read or write. He could and did solve issues without things getting out of hand and occasionally had to deal with very serious people/issues- and did with no problem. I used to help him with his paper work because the sheriff’s dept. did not know he couldn’t write. Once a cowboy was complaining that he got a DUI and had to fill out his own arrest report. Funny stuff but when things were dicey he was your man, and a lot like Andy Griffin in the way he handled things.
