Something to think about.

November 27, 2012

Everyone knows about the war in Afghanistan, we see the news coverage constantly and hear about our brave men and women fighting and dying in the Afghan desert, protecting our freedom. What we don’t hear about is the equally deadly war that is being fought on the streets of America by police officers. Spanning 10 years from the start of Operation Enduring Freedom in 2001, the number of American police officers who have died in the line of duty exceeds the number of American soldiers who have lost their lives in Afghanistan.

Soldiers fight to protect our country and our freedom but police officers are seldom recognized for the fight they face every day as they keep you safe from the danger that lurks in the shadows.

Instead, she sent over this statement Wednesday morning and she did not mince her words. (Links and italicized portions are my own; otherwise, it's as she wrote it.) Dear Friends: read more

    UPDATED: Draft language of so-called curfew ordinance

    The committee opted Tuesday night to put off deciding on the ordinance until, at the earliest, its next meeting. Of note: The Athens-Clarke County attorney highlighted that the proposed times are, in essence, placeholders for the commission to change or keep as it pleases.   Full text of the Use of Public Right-of-Ways ordinance draft is below. read more
