No, I’m not voting for more money to go to the police in the Liberty Township Police levy that everyone is voting for on March 19^th. If President Trump were talking to me, I’m sure he would say, “back the blue.” And most people, especially where I live, will support the police no matter what they ask for, really beyond rationality. But I’m not one who falls for the whole “they run into danger when we run out” diatribe. If the police want my help, anytime, I’d be happy to do anything dangerous that they are asked to do. I could tell them right now where all the drug dealers are. I know where most of the scum bags live. And where a lot of the crime is of a general nature, and I would love to be deputized to bust all those losers, if that was the actual game everyone was into. I’m not a “no cop” guy by any means. We need them in society, but to what level? I’ve lived in Liberty Township, Ohio, longer than most people have been alive, and we’ve managed quite well when we had next to no police presence at all. What makes a society safe is good people, not more unionized cops. So when the police ask for a 3.3. mill levy I think they are only worth the .3 to me. If you want a couple of cops to fill out paperwork when there is an accident or something, then fine. But do we need 40 cops full-time and a bunch of bureaucratic leadership? I don’t think so, especially after my experiences with them, which I talked about on Christmas morning of 2023 when it looked like I was about to get swatted and had to run them off from gathering in front of my house. They said they were there just killing time and dispersed. But I’ve seen a lot of that behavior out of the police in my area, and I think from my experience that we’d be better off without them. I’d rather have volunteer law enforcement, which I could get excited about. I don’t want another expansion of a government union because they are too expensive and often too lazy.

Everywhere I go, at all hours of the day, I see these police officers sitting around looking for something to do, just as they did in front of my house on Christmas morning. A lot of people are more sympathetic to police sitting in front of their houses and would say, “Aren’t you happy to have the police keeping you safe while everyone is all nice and cozy in their houses?” I say no. Cops are there for the paperwork. But I could see why people who don’t know how to shoot guns or are timid personalities would want to hire out their safety to a bunch of people who should be spending their time on a diet plan. Most of these guys have had a Twinkie too many and don’t represent the best the human race offers. I’m not very proud of how many of them look or act. I see too many employees sitting around with very little to do, and to me, that makes for very dangerous people. There are few things more dangerous in life than a bored cop with nothing better to do than to try to make themselves look useful. Cops can get into all kinds of mischief and become detrimental to the public trust. And that is not a price worth paying for, because it often causes more trouble than they are worth in social misery.

But it was the Liberty Township cops from the Sheriff’s department that really dropped the ball on the administrator misconduct at Lakota schools where they rationalized away a truly dangerous situation when it came to administrators from another government union, who had stated fascination with sexual encounters with children. And when I tried to help them out, they referred to me in a police report as the “bald guy with a bullwhip,” which everyone knows about, but it was very disrespectful. They should have been busting all the administrators who showed an inclination toward child pedophilia, especially those working as employees at the school, but they brushed it off as the fantasy of adults and that the activity wasn’t illegal. They have time to sit on the side of the road and harass people for speeding and traffic violations, but they do not have the time to investigate reported and possible crimes against pedophilia properly. No wonder Mike Gmoser, the prosecutor in Butler County, had a family member involved in one of the most significant child pornographic cases that saw him get life in prison—or at least until the story cools down and he can pull some strings to get him out early. These crimes happen right in front of all these cops’ faces, and most of the time, they can be found on the side of the road playing on their phones, not doing real police work or detective work. They do all too often as they did at Lakota schools; they clean up unionized messes that might get out to the public and put caps on the story. They aren’t protecting kids. My experiences with some of these cops as they interacted with Lakota schools were embarrassing at best and not worth the money they wanted for this March 19^th Levy in Liberty Township, Ohio.

Some police were there to enforce a corrupt law that Judge Lyons got involved in at Lakota by issuing a citation to Darbi Boddy, the famous school board member, to play their part in trying to remove her from the school board.  As Darbi reported to her elected duty to attend a meeting recently, some police were there to escort her off the property and issue her a citation that she is still dealing with.  She has another hearing on January 29^th 2024, and is on her second lawyer on this grotesque abuse of power.  They threatened her with jail, which is still a possibility, and have worked to keep her away from Lakota schools to perform what she was elected to do over a phony charge that traces back to the legal firm Frost Brown and Todd and an upcoming teacher union contract negotiation.  They are tough guys to pick on a local mom while her husband serves overseas and she’s alone most of the time to defend herself.  Why would we want to pay for more people like these guys who obviously serve whatever political power has power?  If they were serving law and order, they might make a case.  But I have seen too much corruption out of this group to pay them 3 million dollars’ worth of a taxpayer’s budget.  Like my incident on Christmas morning, why would I want to fund agents of antagonization, people who would fight on behalf of my political enemies?  Because that’s what they have been doing.  Where the danger has genuinely been, they have been playing in their cars on their phones all night doing nothing.  But when there is a threat to the political order, suddenly, they are removing people like Darbi Boddy from school boards and prosecuting the innocent with their grotesque abuses of power.  No, I will be voting no on that ridiculously expensive levy.  That’s too many cops that we are paying too much to sit around and get themselves into trouble.  And I would suggest a community volunteer force instead.  It would be far more effective.
