You Better Not Have an Emergency

If you live in Lake County, Colorado, the last thing you want to do is get hurt. Or have your house catch on fire. Why? Because the current Lake County sheriff, Ed Holte, is using the county's emergency services as a political tool. Even going so far as to instruct dispatchers to send sheriff's deputies to all emergency calls first, including medical and fire calls. The situation came to a head when the captain of the fire department, Dan Dailey, was handcuffed and placed in a cell while responding to an emergency medical call. Read the article for more.

good one mario! if the community re-elects that idiot sheriff then they deserve what they get. but up until his next election he should be held personally(criminally and finacially) accountable(not the city or county) for injuries and deaths due to his 'turf war'. also perhaps someone should spank him like the bad little boy he is acting like.
