Big Fat Lies From The Sheriff, No Way

From the T&G:
Thanks to the church and a raspberry for sheriff's deputies

Dear Editor,
The purpose of my letter is twofold. I have some praises for some people, and I'm throwing darts at some other people.First of all, I want to thank Pastor Edward Dixon and the members of the Camden Baptist Church. They gave me the much-needed support after the tragic death of my son, Lenn "Bubba" Davis on April 12, 2007. Their prayers were a godsend, and they lifted me up to sit with Jesus in a heavenly place. They were so kind. God bless them for their saintly actions. I could not have made it without them. So, I thank everyone who was so kind to me in my hour of need.
Now, I have some "darts" to throw. My son was hounded for about eight long years. He was stopped a number of times for any amount of "questionable" reasons. Some of the reasons were the result of pure out lies. Deputies would handcuff him and carry him off to jail sometimes. Time and time again, warrants were served upon him; warrants made up by some woman and her "free pay" lawyer. She was close friends to many of the deputies. These deputies were always harassing him, year after year after year.One deputy was heard saying, "I won't retire until I see Bubba in prison." Even the D.A. said, "There was no need for a trial, as Bubba was already facing prison time." How brazen can you be? Bubba had never gone to trial and had never been found guilty, but there was a trial pending. When Bubba was in jail, he painted the whole jail. There wasn't a lazy bone in his body.But after eight long years of constant badgering and harassment, poor Bubba did not know where to go or who to turn to. He was frightened and at his wit's end. In fact, he was frightened to death. His death will have to lay at someone's doorstep. A good place to start are those "law-abiding deputies" who languished in placing a "fear" in Bubba's heart. Now that deputy who was going to retire can do so with a clean heart and be satisfied in a job well done.I hold some of you responsible for my son's death. There is no getting around it. Most of those warrants and some charges were BFL (big fat lies).

I read in your paper the gospel according to Walker, "Jesus died so everyone could get a second chance," and so should Bubba.

TRSP Review: I hear stories everyday like this. I have documented many of them ( http://schoolpolice.blogspot.com/2007/04/bill-smith-time-line.html ). Yet some tell us that we should ignore the negatives and look at the positives. What positives can we get from this story? Sure we can ignore it, but what does that do? We live in a country that is proud to say liberty and justice for all, but here in Corruption County it is liberty and justice for the Good ole Boys only.

Mr. Terrel, is this the human side you were talking about? Do you feel bad now? I mean surely when you say their is a human side you are referring to all inmates not just people you know, right? Where was the humanity with the deputy in this case? I know, it was with that woman.

The sad part is this family had nowhere to turn because their own Sheriff's office is so corrupt.

Ms. Davis,
God Bless You and your Family
