ARGUMENT OVER LAW ENFORCEMENT FUNDING RILES UP LOCAL LEADERS …
By FITSNEWS || So there’s a big dispute up in Chester County, S.C. over the budget for local law enforcement – which is reportedly struggling to contain a growing gang problem. In fact a recent gang shooting there actually killed a member of the local county council.
That shooting leads us to a video clip of a recent council meeting … one in which the local Sheriff, Alex Underwood, was accused of making threats against other council members.
What happened?
Well Underwood – who claims he and his deputies are receiving death threats from gang members – was trying to get more money to combat the local gang problem, despite telling The Rock Hill Herald that county council has “never given us anything.”
Anyway, after telling the county council that “we need to set some dates, some deadlines” for getting new funding approved, a council member responded that the next budget session would begin in April.
“Really …” a frustrated Underwood responded.
That’s when one of his subordinates demanded to know “how many officers are going to die between now and April?”
Underwood later reiterated the remark, adding “how many more citizens are going to die?” And then “how many more council members are going to die?”
That remark prompted council manager Carlisle Roddey to accuse Underwood of behaving like a “bully” and threatening council members.
Here’s the exchange (which begins at around the 10:30 mark) …

Yeah …
Just another day in the life of local government here in the Palmetto State, if you ask us.
Here’s the bottom line on all this: State and local governments in South Carolina spend billions of dollars each year on stuff they have absolutely no business being involved in. Yet when it comes time to address the things they’re supposed to do, the debate devolves into a goat show over funding (like the display above).
Or put numerically, budgets at all levels of government in the Palmetto State continue to grow beyond the bounds of population and inflation growth – yet the handful of core functions government ought to be performing (i.e. cops, courts and roads) continue to be shortchanged.
And the worst part? Even if we give these municipal law enforcement agencies the money they demand, there’s no guarantee they’re going to spend it correctly.
Or that their leaders aren’t themselves criminally inclined!
Hell, Sheriffs get indicted practically every week in this state …

That doesn’t sound like a threat. It sounds like a valid question.
Yea def not a threat, a serious question.
Carlisle Roddey needs a hearing aid.
Gee golly gosh, I wonder if this is what would become of road maintenance if we pushed state-maintained roads down to the local government level.
you’d have people walking to work, and paying path tolls to the cops.
That’s what people in SC respond to…fear. Works all the time on you rubes.
Maybe Chester Co. can follow Kershaw Co’s. lead and try to pass an ordinance to strip the sheriff of his authority because he doesn’t fall in line.
That’s one of the reasons county councils dislike the notion of a sheriff’s office- they generally want sheriffs to behave and toe the good ol’ boy line, but sheriffs are county-level State Constitutional officers and enjoy a certain amount of autonomy, even in basic budgetary matters.
Oh, it a threat be comin’ from a black man Sheriff. If it be whitey askin’ for some gang-bangin’ fight cash, day be all ober dat with a open check book. I can’ts believe it.
Didn’t think it was pertinent to mention that a sitting Councilman had been assassinated recently? Might put that comment about how many Council members have to die in its proper perspective, amirite?
That’s not a threat. That’s just trying to get the point across in a way that would personalize it for the council. The council manager sounds like a crybaby.
Why is it that many times council members act like home owner association board members? I’ve got some power and I’m gonna use it as I see fit and to hell with the people that elected me.
” home owner association board members”
Very familiar with that since I’ve been involved in a few — they are like throwing cats and dogs into the same cage.
The police there don’t look much different than a gang of thugs to me. Many of them in black with tatoo’s on their arms, with a sense of entitlement, demanding more money en force.
Just a gang of thieves writ large.
Umm, to clarify, a Chester CITY Councilman was shot and killed in a gang-related shooting, apparently he was by-standing, on Election Day. View the sheriff’s remarks in THAT context. It is absolutely not a threat.
The County also tried to yank control of the 911 center back from the Sheriff and lost in a lawsuit that just absolutely wasted the citizens’ money.
Anything here that paints the county supervisor as being right to perceive a threat is ludicrous. Sheriff Underwood can be a bit of a hot head and is not cow-towing to the Good ol’ boy network in Chester County. But he’s not threatening. Stating facts.
“Hell, Sheriffs get indicted practically every week in this state …”
That’s a lie. Retract it.
“local governments in South Carolina spend billions of dollars each year on stuff they have absolutely no business being involved in”
Please more than just words on a page FITS, put numbers to this statement or you are just puffing up for headlines.
My wife Joan Wagar was having an affair with a Portland cop named Eric Carlson and he was acting as a double to set me up as a pedophile!
When I found out my wife Joan Wagar was hooking our daughters up with a cop that was acting as a double I tried to warn people about it, and that’s when I was severely poisoned by Joan Wagar!
All of my wife’s coworkers at East Port Walmart were calling officer Eric Carlson by the nickname Doubleclick because they knew he was acting as a double, and after my wife Joan Wagar poisoned me everyone at East Port Walmart started calling my wife by the nickname Mrs Dash!
Police used their power of influence to cover up the poisonings at the hospital and I was repeatedly denied emergency services because of police influence and interference at the hospital!
Shawna Wagar admits in writing to making false pedophile accusations about me and this occurred when my mother and father were poisoned and murdered by local police and by my wife Joan Wagar!

A couple suggestions – 1) where’s all the money going in chester county? What is not said is all the new fire stations, ambulance stations and new “gateway” center. Chester county needs an independent audit very very badly. The same folks on that council just recently granted themselves not only a large increase in property taxes, they also lobbied for (and got) a 1c county wide sales tax. Spending is out of control – the things people actually need are brushed off. 2) Perhaps chester should just follow Detroit’s model – just dont patrol certain areas. Let people know up front that certain areas will not be patrolled, certain areas will have no police response, and reduce staff. Then those remaining on force can be equipped with bullitproof vests and military equipment. 3) There is nothing wrong with hand-me-downs. Chester could buy some computer equipment 2nd hand – i buy second hand equipment for my business all the time and its worked out fine. Not everything needs to be brand new.
