All I can say is thank GOD this is not happening in our neck of the woods. In this area we have a Police Chief by the name of Arther Jones. Has made a mess of the city of Milwaukee. If this was on the table in front of him I can not even begin to think of the mess he would make out of it.
IMHO, Moose is doing as good a job as most would in his situation.
The former sheriff in Brown County (Green Bay) was beyond inept. We had an inordinate amount of jail suicides, incompetent investigations, Huber inmates housed at a local motel at an inflated price and--this is the kicker--had at least two jail inmates use the jail as a Motel 6, checking in & out at will via a sheet rope off a 3rd story roof. They'd leave after the last head count at night & get back before the first head count in the morning, until that Fateful Day when they didn't get back in time (one of them was awaiting trial for 1st degree sexual assault & arson). When the reporters were brought into the cell block & saw the door to the outside propped open onto a fenced in roof exercise area, they asked for the tape from the security camera. Well, um, it was a fake camera. Eyes bulged. The sheriff claimed budget woes. Nobody bought it.
The asssistant police chief, Tom Hinz (also Brett Favre's road game body guard) ran as a write-in candidate (it was past the time for filing as a regular candidate) and won with about 75% of the vote. Tom is retiring this year and we sure are going to miss his quiet competency.
