WHEN WILL IT STOP?!
7-3-07
Sources at the Selma Police Department have informed this website that two officers, Hardy and Keith, have turned in their notice. They are leaving the police department.
This source also stated that another Hardy will be leaving if he fails a polygraph test involving the fight that led to the death of Mr Aquilo, a security guard at Jim Minor Homes. Sources stated that Officer Hardy responded to the first call which was two teenage girls fighting. When the officer arrived at the scene, he took a weapon (knife) from the girls and told them to keep fighting then he was going to take them to jail. The fight continued and caused undue agitation to a bad and unlawful situation. An already aggrevated crowd became more hostile. A source stated that there was "much" profanity used when Officer Hardy addressed the fighting girls.
The two Hardy brothers were hired by Martin (Chief of Police at the time) who has resigned for obvious reasons. His "leadership" and Perkins' micro-managing has made a laughing stock of our once "superb" police department.
Undermanned, underequipped, underpaid, undermotivated, and undersupervised - HOW MUCH MORE CAN WE TAKE FROM THESE TWO?
A departmental evaluation is in progress and sources have said the preliminary report was enough to justify Martin's firing. WHY ISN'T HE GONE?
Mayor, it is your sworn duty to handle problems of this kind. Your compensation is over $120,000 each year of the taxpayer's money to manage and control the many areas of our City. The Public Safety Division is not only one of them, but THE MOST IMPORTANT.
Sources have told this website that Governor Riley and Attorney General King have been made aware of the lawlessness in our City.
This website will continue to put pressure on the City's elected officials until they get the lawlessness in Selma under control and are willing to stop playing hide and seek with our problems.
MARTIN MUST GO NOW AND PERKINS SHOULD FOLLOW HIM IN 2008 OR BEFORE!!!!
