So much ‘show of force’ in those eyes. *Shudders*

Military training as a Marine Corp enlistee….*eyes open wider*
Was in the law enforcement academy for drumroll…a year. *clutches throat*
Simpson University – the only Christian university north of Sacramento….uhhhh, seriously?!
And got a MA in Joe Arapaio’s Arizona. *induces self-vomiting*

Sounds like a real tolerate and progressive new chief in Fortuna! Bravo, friendliest city!

*drives past Fortuna exits for the next two years*

To me, his expression says, “I can’t be the only one who smells that!”

Please describe the background you would like to see for the person in this job.

FFS, your first sentence judges the man purely on his appearance. How ‘woke’ of you.

Are you tolerant and progressive?

lolo star, more than likely a pipe smokin hippy with a cane and tie die P J’s. in any case the friendly city can use some enforcement as they are not immune from gang violence and cartels.

You’d prefer some wispy haired Woodstock era hippie who will hug the bad guys into submission?

And we’re judging people now based on the geographic location that they obtained their higher education?

I love the hypocrisy at play in the fantasy world you fart smellers live in. “Equality, treat people as individuals, show compassion and love for all… BUT FUCK THAT GUY, HE GOT A MASTER’S DEGREE IN ARIZONA AND HIS LIPS AREN’T CURVED UPWARD ENOUGH FOR MY TASTES!!!!!!!”

I’m sure Fortuna regrets their choice after being educated by your brilliant post.

Probably a man who has tried real hard to better himself. Probably will regret coming to Humboldt after encountering losers like you repeatedly.

Was no one interested in the position who currently work for Fortuna Police? Gabe? Every time someone is brought in from out of the area, they stay a couple of years then leave. I do wish him well and hope it works out.

Nope. Not a joke, I have been placing very good comments so there is no reason to keep me on moderation. One question, are you related to the local Kemp family from Shively, Rio Dell, etc.?

Glad to see the appointment of this new police chief. Appreciate watching and interacting during the live broadcasts hosted by APD. Maybe that can also happen here.

If I may be allowed a bit of levity, he appears to lean quite a bit to the right.?.
