First let me say that I welcome
Chief Tim Adkins' opinion and
commentary to the fray. In my view
it is long overdue. Without dialog
about problems there will be no
solutions.
Chief Adkins attempts to place
himself on the high road by saying
he is talking factual truth and not
crystal ball fiction. He seemingly
advances the notion that everything
he says is truth while on the other
hand other opinions are hearsay.
But his first commentary begins
with a factual distortions.
He says, obviously referring to
me, "But it seems maybe you and
other individuals feel the most
important duty of the Hinton Police
officers is to enforce parking
violations in the downtown area."
Fact: I have never said nor do I
think that this is the most important
thing the police should do. What I
said was that the law is not being
enforced equally. My opinion is not
founded on fiction, but is based in
part on the parking ticket I received
in front of the Hinton News office.
George Orwell in his book Animal
Farm writes that some pig's are
more equal then other pigs. I do not
think I was actually violating the
law- but I received the ticket as the
less equal pig while a real violation
received no ticket at all.
This is born out by a "factual
photo of a blatant violation much
more serious occurring about 200
feet away that did not receive a
ticket at the same time my ticket
was issued.
This is hardly ChiefAdkins stated
model in his commentary when he
says "...but if you don't issue tickets
for all violations then don't issue any
at all?
My opinion is I received the ticket
because of some' political motive to
intimidate, This factual,
photographed event is not the same
as the Chiefs supposedly "factual"
assertion in his commentary.
I ask who picks and chooses who
receives a ticket? Also why does a
non-violation receive a ticket while
a violation gets off"scott-free" at the
same time?
Officer Jackie Adkins could have
parked his crnieer on the sidewalk I
was allegedly blocking between my
parked vehicle and the building.
Incidentally there are no "no-
parking" signs. Perhaps the Chief
will explain this for us in another
commentary.
While the Chief is saying he is
writing "Facts?" perhaps he will let
the readers know how many parking
tickets were issued in the City of
Hinton from December 2002
through April 2003. Then the Chief
can tell the readers how many of
those were issued at the Hinton
News office.
Like Michael Jordan says "Do it!"
The readers have a right to know. I
will give him the opportunity to
come clean otherwise, I will print it
next month. I believe the real
Facts will bear out that this is an
irregularity and it raises serious
questions with respect to equal
enforcement of law. As the Chief says
"stay tuned!
I agree with the Chiefs paradigm.
"If you don't issue tickets for all
violations don't issue any ticket at
all. However if the Chief's premise
were logical then multiple tickets
would have been issued for any
violations instead of singling me out
that day.
If he is man enough to reveal the
above 5-month summary of issued
tickets the readers will be able to
decide themselves if the police force
practices what the Chief preaches.
Tim makes the point that the
Police Department never intended
to become involved in politics. He
says they were "drug" into it.
Who did this? Was it this
newspaper? Or was it because the
City Council ignored citizen
complaint about many issues. I
submit that the defenders of the
police who chose to issue death
threats, send hate mail, harass and
smear those who questioned
operations of the police were the
ones who politicized this issue and
dragged the police into this political
fray. I wonder whom it was who
dragged Tim on TV to make political
statements regarding the Mayor's
lack of authority vis-a-vis the Rex
Cyphers' hiring? Tim appeared
willing enough on camera. He
proposed that the Mayor lacked
police management authority then,
I quote the Chief's commentary
again, "...it is the responsibility of
the mayor to provide 24 hour police
protection."
Now he recognizes the mayor's
authority at this point with respect
to policing when he blames her for
the problems. Proper respect of the
policing mayoral authority back
then by the rank and file may have
staved off this community fracture.
The most disturbing notion of his
commentary is the premise that
speaking ones mind about issues
should not occur because it damages
the community's image.
This is ignoring and sanctioning
problems. It is like the old saying
"looking at life through rose colored
glasses7 If I were contemplating
moving here I would want to know
the TRUTH about Hinton. I would
not want the sales approach to be
like buying a used car from an
unscrupulous salesman.
So while we are dealing in "facts"
let us not pretend this is Disney
World and that our history is
squeaky clean.
The way to deal with a problem
is to first-identify it and face up to
it. Form a plan to correct it.
Implement the plan. Then check
back in to make sure that the
correction is working. This is called
progress. It takes a person of good
judgement to do this.
My opinio4s Hinton needs
change and that the leopard may
indeed have to change its spots to
make improvement. Tim you
shouldn't take everything so
personally. You were not really the
leopard except in your own mind.
The leopard was the figurative
problem concerning police protocols.
