What is it about Charleston area police and sheriff’s departments that makes me skeptical of anything they do?

Or any in this state for that matter?

Honestly it is always in the back of my mind any time the child of a politician gets criminal charges or is otherwise involved in something heinous that the politician themselves will claim their poor little angel, who never did a bad thing in their life, was set up by evil cops who clearly don’t understand the JustUs system enough to let their perfect baby get away with anything and everything.

Maybe the dude is innocent. Maybe he’s a monster. I’m not about to take the word of mom or dad for gospel on that though.

Wonder if the other person in the race had anything to do with this in some way. Her current behavior makes me think that may be possible.

From a news article on another charge that was dismissed by the same office

“Jail records show this is Templeton’s second arrest. He was first arrested by the MPPD in September 2023 on the charge of pointing and presenting firearms at a person. The charge was dismissed this January.

According to the affidavit, a woman contacted the MPPD on Sept. 4, 2023, about a road rage incident at the traffic light of the intersection of South Shelmore and Johnnie Dodds Boulevard. The woman told the officers that a suspect, later identified as Templeton, tailgated her, threw a bottle at her vehicle, and pointed a firearm at the vehicle while her children were inside.

The affidavit says officers located Templeton’s vehicle the following day in the neighborhood where they were told the road rage incident began. Templeton admitted to being involved in the road rage portion of the incident.

On Jan. 25, the Ninth Circuit Solicitor’s Office dismissed the pointing and presenting firearms charge on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence to convict.”

The faster this kid can get into a 12 step program the better. He has been told he is special his whole life, the faster. He figures out that he is not, the less likely he will hurt himself or someone else.

“The faster this kid can get into a 12 step program the better.”

What I’ve always heard: 12 steps will save you from 6 feet.
