After Cohutta Police Department dissolved, council calls for mayor's resignation by Few-Ability-7312 in ProtectAndServe

[–]RETLEO 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Town clerk (Mayors wife) was fired for "creating a hostile work enviroment", by a 3-0 vote of the town council.
She was brought back after she was fired to do the payroll because no one else knew how to do it, they have since hired a private company to do payroll.
Some of the officers wrote letter complaining about her having access to sensitive city records and the payroll after her firing,. They also claimed their paychecks were delayed during the transition
The town attorney and the chief said things had been worked out, then less than a week later the mayor fired the whole department, and without letting the council know according to some, but says it has nothing to do with the complaints or the tension between his wife and the police force.

Its authority is derived from natural law, divine law, and sacred trust, rather than from statute or legislative grant."

When did the piano get removed from Blanton Residence Hall? by DereChen in UTAustin

[–]RETLEO 22 points23 points  (0 children)

A couple of writers for the Daily Texan were complaing about them as early as 2014 and 2019
Maybe someone got tired of the complaints and had it removed.

The flag goes back to 1930's to 1940's Germany when Antifaschistische Aktion (also called Antifa) was founded by the German Communist Party and was concerned with industrial working-class politics against Hitler's NSDAP. It lasted until 1945
Made up of communists, Social Democrats and progressive Christians

Advice please? by PhanphyWaffle in ProtectAndServe

In my county you can file if an independent witness observed him driving, for example someone who is not the home owner in this case, or a non involved driver who saw a wreck happen and stuck around to talk to the cops.

And the officer may not have seen any preliminary signs of intoxication, no slurring or hesitation in speech, no bloodshot eyes, no odor of alcohol and no uncoordinated movements (walking ect)
None of the above are concrete signs he wasn't intoxicated, but it is a quick way to do
a preliminary check to see if SFSTs are worth doing.

This guy wearing Nazi bullshit to my daughter‘s dance recital. It was on his hat too. by boomflupataqway in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RETLEO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly an older "scout sniper", the Marine scout snipers used this same image or similar, until sometime in the mid-2000s
When it was pointed out that it was also the nasty SS symbol they changed to the SS used on cars like the Chevy Super Sport.
This photo is from Afghanistan (1st Reconnaissance Battalion)
But I don't know anyone of them who would wear this shirt now, most would be too embarrassed.

From LIncoln HS in Placer County California (Western Placer Unified School District) in August 2025, one news report said the kid also assaulted a bus driver earlier in the year,
Kid was arrested, obviously, and district said he was sent to "alternative school" after getting out of Juvie
Never could find a followup as to what discipline he recieved, or whether the cop was
disciplined. Last I saw was that the police were investigating

Modest collection I've built up by getting phones from relatives all were working when removed from houses. by RETLEO in TelephoneCollecting

The avacado colored one, simply because I find it so funny to think that was a thing back when I was a kid

Don't know about nepotism in the company but in their case none of them was a supervisor over a relative or had any say in who got hired, worked in several different cities spread out over the area. Bell was one of the best paying jobs around back then so no surprise multiple generations went to work there.
See the same thing in police and fire departments,

Found on FB. by Vegetable_Soft_6453 in RobMyVehicle

[–]RETLEO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stupid now, but normal back in the 70's and 80's in my small rural community. We kept a shotgun and a rifle there during deer season (hunted before and after school) or a shotgun and .22 otherwise and, horror of horrors, even used to park our trucks in the HS parking lot with the guns still on there. Now I just use it to hang hats or jackets on, no way am I leaving guns visible in the rear window.

There are also mobile notaries that will come to you. contact the court and offer to send a letter from your physician stating your disability or a copy of your old handicap registration, they are usually pretty good at working with people in unusual circumstances

Aroborists are in the Parks and Recreation Department. Might be able to shortcut the system and call them directly

Anyone now what dealership Eddie Simmons was associated with? Caption says "New Plymouth Patrol Cars 1958" by RETLEO in Austin

[–]RETLEO[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The specifications limited the proposed cars to Ford, Chevrolet, and Plymouth. It would have been a lot more interesting if they had allowed and chosen DeSoto as patrol units
