My Introduction To You...

I have had enough! I can't rely on others to share my views locally, so I'll share them with you.

I'm here for local law enforcement. Been there, done that, bought a t-shirt (to the tune of a $5K tuition). No I'm not here to extend the opinions of our sworn protectors, I would rather you think of me as someone on the side of the people...

But I warn you: my defense comes at a cost. Be prepared to hear (read) you're wrong sometimes. Prepare yourself to agree with me on some things, and disagree on others. I'm calling 'em like I see 'em, and I like to call a lot.

A little background: I'm an ex-high school dropout/punk kid/restaurant worker/factory worker/salesman/construction worker/college student/police officer/father-figure/bartender/entrepreneur/tax-payer/weekend thrill-seeker.

I've been in every social circle you could shake a stick at. I've been in and out, up and down - financially, socially and mentally. I guess you could say I'm your average Joe Town resident.

So without any further wasting of space, let me say, "hello" to you. I intend to create a voice where there was none before. Out of all my passions, I still find law enforcement (though since resigned) an important topic in our community and one that often involves massive misconceptions. I hope to shed some light on these issues while at the same time, "breaking open the vault." Telling you things you'd have only speculated before, and I say these things with first-hand experience and first-hand frustration.

The first order of business shall be the recent debocle in the in Savannah Associate Judicial Circuit, yes Jusge Taylor, you're first on my block.
