Well here it is, the highly anticipated, (and highly edited) tapes released from the OC Bos meeting with Sandra Hutchins. This tape clearly shows deputies who were working the camera at best “snooping” on supervisor Norby, and at worst “Spying” on his personal notes.
The part that bothers me, is along the same lines, as the Nixon tapes. If this is what they didn’t delete, what are they hiding? The Sheriff has said this has been dealt with, and the deputies were properly admonished? Really? Exactly what was done? Where are the rest of the tapes?
I can only hope and assume that this type of Nixonian “I’m above the law” attitude will relegate her administration to the same disgraced and discredited place in the historical scrap heap of failed and corrupt politicians.
To fight “terrorism” we’re certainly going to have to infringe on 2nd amendment rights just like with the 1st & 4th amendments under Bush – get used to it. Guns are the weapons most available to terrorists.
Are you off of your meds? What the hell are you talking about?
“Guns are the weapons most available to terrorists”
When Have they ever used guns here, other than Never?
Swords, boxcutters, IED’s, & airplanes . . . right, the 2nd Amendment must be the problem.
They’re called rights because they must NOT be infringed upon!
Well, using Larry’s Logic (sound cute doesn’t it) we need to move to outlaw untraceable cell phones/detonators, sharp pencils/weapon, fertilizer/bomb, diesel fuel/explosive….Terrorists have mastered the use of available materials for maximum effect. Oh yeah, don’t forget about shampoo, make-up, perfume, shaving lotion, bottled water…..
Now, regarding Hutchens. I agree with Bigmark, her inappropriate heavy-handedness, along with her total lack of political acumen, will indeed land her with the forgotten. She has committed political hari kari and is beginning to know it.
What I want to understand is why were the tapes edited? The version I heard is so that we dont compromise undercover deputies. What the?
First, why in the world would undercover deputies have been there in the first place? What would an undercover guy see that a uniformed deputy wouldn’t? They were at a supervisors meeting not a columbian drug buy.
Second, how in the hell would anyone watching the tape know who the undercovers were if they are so undercover?
This wreaks of government run amok and I hope Hutchens either fires all involved or we fire her.
Hollis, You hit the nail…
