If you find yourself in an emergency situation in Green Mountain Falls, Colo., don’t bother calling police.

In this scenic western hamlet, they no longer exist.

“Our marshal and three deputies quit, and that’s about all they said,” Ann Pinell said. “We’ve had our hometown marshal for many, many years, so I sure hope we get another marshal in our town.”

“Police are minutes away when seconds count!”

Stupid statement.

Really?!! What's stupid about it? Police are reactionary. Save undercover. Would you rather wait for the cops to show up, after the event, or take care of yourself?

I think you better reconsider who's stupid....

Perhaps the “sheriff” confusion comes from Mayberry?
