"There will be no cash rewards for calling, a sheriff's office spokeswoman confirmed."

The key word here is “legitimate” ——but aren’t the police supposed to be doing this anyway? What’s the new money for? What I’ve noticed is there are a whole bunch of phone trigger happy people out and about now who will call in smoke, parked cars, small crowds, dead animals, hitch hikers, and virtually everything else that can be seen from the safety of their cell-phone equipped cars. It has to be driving the 911 operators bananas. The notion that weirdos aren’t already being “called in “ is up around infantile and means someone is looking for new money.

Hey Sheriff, I'm sure you've come up with this brain fart because your deparment already has a handle on the epidemic of teenroes beatin' hell out of folks for being white in public ?

Oh, that's still happening ?

Then my first impression was correct - you ARE a fascist @hole.

I think George Zimmerman tried that and look where that got him.

Legitimate-sounding calls would trigger a visit by specially trained deputies in plain clothes or by mental health professionals.

With all the geezers living there these are going to be busy folks.

Geezer from Sunny Side Retirement Home: "Please send someone I think the guy in the next room wants to kill everyone because they ran out of tapioca at lunch".

They would have to answer that call in case it might actually happen.

I would call and tell them that obama is trying to impersonate a president.

What does it hurt to have somebody knock on a door and ask, 'Hey, is everything OK?'"

With all due respect, who would want to answer, facing a squad (or stack) of testosterone junkies ready for CQB and armed to the teeth?

More likely, the "knock" will be a breaching round, and the survivors might be available for questioning.

Not to mention the potential for "SWATting"...

Sheriff looking for assets to seize...?

[trisham]

I hope that this plan will include children reporting on their parents. It’s always good to be consistent.

Sounds like our local democrat sheriff. He is an idiot, anti-gun, dim loving liberal. And I don’t like him even though I am kin to him. Had to come from the other side of his family blood line.
