BALK FOR SHERIFF

WOW!! What a turnout for the Balk Fundraiser. The green machine was out in force, and we did not need Vern Troyer to sell tickets!! I did not have anything to do with organization of the fundraiser but I did want to say thanks to everyone who put this fundraiser together and the ones who attended. For the people who work in another profession you know how important it is to have a good working environment. If you like your job and the people you work for you will put in a little more effort to do a better job. Brad, Mark, Jason and Tim you guys are great!! BALK FOR SHERIFF!!

Wow!! I have not been on here in a while and man... Here is a few things that have not changed. 1.Dennis is still running a Sheriffs department where the road deputies / corrections cant stand him. 2. The twins are still idiots 3. Curtis is NOT kicking butt and taking names and I am sure the meth cooks are real scared of him. I commend the officer's that left SCAN and went back to their own departments. GOOD JOB!! Hmmmm... seems like some of them went to S.W.E.T. because SCAN is a step away from a lawsuit because of Curtis' lack of police ethics and morals... Yeah I am right.... they did !!! Louis A.K.A. (Snake in the Grass) Just ask the people he works with they will tell ya. Hey can i get a beer before i go to jail??? Like I said not a lot has changed, but there is a Change in the Air and it is not to far away. Dennis, don't let that door hit you in the arse on your way out!! good riddance!! BALK FOR SHERIFF!!

Burned out?? What the hell, more like wised up and got out before Curtis walks them into a court room and they are the ones on trial. I am sure if the "stuck" member of SCAN could get out, he would. But since he is also a deputy, he has no choice but to stay and hope that he takes his retirement in a few years. Then SCAN could be called "Dumb Ass". As for speaking your mind, Sly does not like anyone to challenge his authority..it has been that way every since i can remember. USDA is right your wrong..Don't forget that!! the USDA wont.....Cant wait until this is over and Sly and the family Allen's can get out and find another department to break down. don't let the door hit you all in the ASS!!! BALK FOR SHERIFF!! Originally posted by St. Joseph County Citizen quote: Originally posted by FirstHand Semper FI "Curtis" I find it awfully funny that the scan officers stepped down due to being burned out from the fast pace of busting "pill poppers" and people for meth precursors! Don't you think it would be wiser to sit on these place for a little bit and bust them with more and put them away for a longer time? Oh wait your just in it for the "STATS"! Curtis I Know they got burned out dealing with your SILLY ASS! Lets go campaign for daddy while on duty and not do our job we are paid to do! I respect you as I do others that are in uniform but I don't have to agree with your Stupid ways! Curtis I thinks it's time you step up be a man and EARN you spots on the department!!! Sly "USDA" Sly fits you and your campaign very well!!! How dare you attack one of your fellow deputies? What a GUTLESS ASS! I think it's time you step up and answer some questions! Be a man not a COWARD that you have been! Everything DRU has stated is facts and you know it! You have always had an issue with DRU and people who speak there mind! DRU has not personally attacked you. You decided to bring the war to him and he has stated the facts! Are you going to fire me too? I don't[:D] know what were you thinking taking mark off the reserve unit? Your just a coward out for your own personal gain! It sure would be nice to work for someone who cares about their employees also! Due to Semper FI "Curtis" and Sly "USDA" actions I have made up my mind! GO GREEN!!!!!!![:D] I just don't understand - Semper Fi says these 2 guys left SCAN becuase they got "BURNED OUT" - so don't you think Curtis should be "BURNED OUT" then since they've been so busy making so many busts & he's been putting in so many hours yatta yatta yatta[?] What do you think?

Rumor, Thank you for your response.. If I offended you that was truly not my intention. As to how come Dennis was not reprimanded.. He wont.... Judy West-Wing is in his corner and she wants him to be Sheriff. You have to remember that the Sheriffs department and the court house is very clicky...If you are not in Allen's click then you are nothing to him, just another employee that he can dump on. Hows this i worked for Dennis for 3/12 years. Not one time did he ever come up to me and smile and ask me how my kids were, how my day is going..family life etc. Nothing....This last summer several officers from the County, State and local departments were fishing with kids. (Fish with a cop day).. Dennis came up to me and actually asked me how my kids were doing... hum kinda funny since he decided he was running for Sheriff and was "trying" to be nice.. I just don't get it...Too late to be nice now..Should have thought about that 20 years ago....Balk for Sheriff... Thank you.

Rumor Runner I have a question for you, did you hear about Allen's son having a bumper sticker on a county owned vehicle, and campaigning for his father on county time in uniform?? I would think that the undersheriff would have a little control over his own son / deputy. Maybe I am wrong and that is the way of doing things in the Allen camp. If you don't think that being a supporter of Brad and Mark and having a bumper sticker on your personal vehicle is not in the back of his head, you are way out of tune. Or you are related to him and can't see past your wool covered eyes.Any questions?? Balk for Sheriff!!
