Oct 20, 2020 04:20 PMUsed to be civil servants appreciated the privilege of having a secure government job and worried about losing it. Plus knowing there was a strict supervisor who kept things under tight control, who was also worried about losing their job if the job mission failed. It used to be called having a "work ethic".

Oct 20, 2020 06:34 PMSure would be nice if the SBSO would treat all press releases about arrests and investigation consistent and equal. Omitting information about what kind of narcotics and who/what kind of person the firearm was given too makes it seems the SBSO is just protecting another brother in blue.
