Enough already

In an expensive, over the top display of self-glorification held at tax payers’ expense, the Fairfax County Police once again proved they simply have to much of our money and way, way too much time on their hands.


This past week, at your expense, the cops held what was essentially a PR drive supposedly to celebrate “Fallen officers”. What it was, actually, was a move to raise the departments sinking public image and to fend off police oversight. They run a secret police and what they do, is none of your business…that’s the way they look at it.

And no matter what Rohrer says, those cops and the rest of his department are not part of this community. When more than a handful of Fairfax County Police actually live here and spend their money here, send their spawn to our schools, instead of another county, then they’ll be a part of this community.

And we need to put the PR focus into prospective. Two of these well paid cops who were praised, again, were killed in training exercises. You paid for that mistake not the police department. It’s your money, not theirs. They don’t live here.

Maybe we should look into the training exercises conducted within the $180,000,000 a year department to find out what’s going wrong. Of course that will never happen. The records concerning these cases are closed to the people and stamped secret….by people who don’t live here and who are responsible to make sure people aren’t killed in training. So you will never, ever, see those records.

Two more cops were killed in crashes for driving like a bat out of hell to low priority calls.

As for the last two, the police have never fully explained or made public the records on that case or what may have happened to the teenage gunman inside the police station prior to the rampage nor have they ever explained why they took 24 hours to contact the teenager’s family after the shooting. Those records are also closed to the people and marked secret.

And again, crime rates are down for the past decade all over the county, not just in Fairfax County and there are many factors involved in that beyond policing practices. Rohrer has to stop taking credit for something he didn’t do.
