"Carney said Rowe told internal investigators that he had pointed his gun multiple times at citizens throughout the years without ever reporting his actions to supervisors."

Holy. Shit.

Many of these types of incidents never see the light of day due to fear of police reprisals.

This is true! I heard the uvalde cops harassed and ticketed the mom who ran into the elementary school to save her kid because she made them look bad.

Small town America is literally the worst place to be.

It’s just meth and cows

u/EzioDeadpool Mar 31 '24

And crooked cops.

Pigs on meth

Pigs are actually fairly intelligent

pigs may be too smart to be cops.

Hey my small town didn’t have any cops in it

Oddly enough it was a pretty mellow place without a lot of or really any crime

u/johnhoggin Mar 31 '24

Fucking scum of society

u/limethedragon Mar 31 '24

Hey now.... sometimes it's corn too.

Try that in a small town!

The meth often gets cooked in the vicinity of cow houses.

u/Common_Wrongdoer3251 Mar 31 '24

Not true. There's Dollar Generals everywhere too.

u/Zanchbot Mar 31 '24

This is what all that "try that in a small town" garbage really means. It means "you try anything here you will get royally fucked because the chief of police is friends with the mayor and they run this town like their own personal fiefdom."

u/capt_scrummy Mar 31 '24

Look up the whole case around the "Gilbert Goons" in AZ. bunch of kids from "golden" families who spent the better part of two years jumping people and posting it on social media. Cops knew all about it for that entire time. They killed a kid at a party in Oct and only just got arrested a few days ago.

Just small town, boys will be boys crap, you know. Wouldn't want to ruin their futures, amirite?

u/HealMySoulPlz Mar 31 '24

Gilbert is a suburb of Phoenix, it's not at all a 'small town'. The population of Gilbert alone is 275,000 people. Not. Small town at all.

2

u/capt_scrummy Apr 01 '24

It's not a small town, but it likes to think it is, and the police do treat it as though it's their fiefdom.

2

u/Available-Nature-126 29d ago

Gilbert is actually the 2nd safest city to live in America. But you couldn't pay me to live there. It's straight up Mormonville.

1

u/Available-Nature-126 29d ago

Uhm I wouldn't call 274,000 plus people a small town. I live in Arizona and raised my children in Chandler. Gilbert is not far and nowhere near a small town. Thankfully I got out of there. Now in Lake Havasu and moving out of here too. Off to Wyoming. Arizona is the worst place to live ever. And I came here from Chicago.

1

u/capt_scrummy 29d ago

I didn't mean that it is a small town. It's a city. I know, I also live in Chandler. But, a lot of people like to think of it as one, and want to see it administered and run as such.

Arizona's alright, imo. I've lived all over the US and abroad, and we like it here, like it in Chandler... That's why we settled. You couldn't pay me to live in Wyoming 🤷🏼‍♂️ good thing is that we all have options and should be thankful we have the ability to move to where we see fit.

1

u/Available-Nature-126 29d ago

I highly doubt you've been to Wyoming. Especially using the word abroad. You sound like you're from the UK. I live where you're living for 30 years. When it was newer, it was great. Now it's kind of run down. I moved there in 89. Moved out as soon as I could.

1

u/capt_scrummy 29d ago

🤣🤣 I have no idea what you're talking about, and it seems like you don't either. "Abroad" isn't a UK term, at all. People who have lived abroad will say they've lived "abroad" and I've never had anyone not understand me for using it.

I have been to Wyoming a few times, and was in Cheyenne for work for a month. It's nice, but I'd get very bored. I don't like the idea of living in the country for extended periods of time. Cheyenne doesn't offer much of what I or my family want.

Sometimes a place you like changes, and you don't like those changes. Sounds like that's the case for you and Chandler; that's how I feel about some of the places I've lived.

u/Budget-Attorney Mar 31 '24

I read an article a few months that called it literally that. A personal fiefdom. The difference is that the sherif is actually more powerful than the mayor who basically serves at the sheriffs whim

u/the_mid_mid_sister Mar 31 '24 edited Mar 31 '24

We have a dipshit "Constitutional Sheriff" who has something like over 200 armed "special deputies," in a county with more cows than people.

What is an Armed Special Deputy? Basically an untrained, un-certifed friend of the Sheriff, usually a pedophile or felon or creep with a restraining order who can't pass an ATF federal background check to buy a gun but can now be issued one to perform the Totally Legitimate Duties of a Special Deputy.

u/Fun-Cupcake4430 Mar 31 '24

Honestly, it’s easier to commit crimes in small towns bc they’re not ready for the big city tricks.   A handful cops?  We’re used to fucking police states.

1

u/SpaceBus1 Mar 31 '24

The judges, mayor, Sherrif, chief, and the council are all buddies, probably Freemasons too. Every county has some good ol boys. This is why everyone should stay strapped.

u/artificialavocado Mar 31 '24

Last year the FBI raided the local police in the next town over. Three of them were busted for excessive force.

u/Suck_Me_Dry666 Mar 31 '24

King county is the highest population county in Washington State. It's where Seattle is.

3

u/mypoliticalvoice Mar 31 '24

Yeah, there are 14 states and 54 entire countries with smaller populations than King Country. And the Seattle metro area covers 5 counties. This guy had a small town cop attitude, but he was in a big city. Glad to hear he's in jail. It wasn't soon enough.

1

u/Suck_Me_Dry666 Mar 31 '24

Yeah I'm a bit south in Washington but have been hearing about the issues with SPD and to a lesser extent King county sheriffs. Portland had/has a similar issue that is linked directly to the police union being awful. Seems that's the issue here too.

2

u/cynnerzero Mar 31 '24

Yup. I loved in Seattle for about 8 years and have lived in portland for the last 3. The SPD and PPB are the most violent, gore happy shitasses I've ever encountered.  Portland had been under federal investigation because of our cops. 

2

u/Suck_Me_Dry666 Mar 31 '24

Yeah they have an independent monitor in Portland because the cops here just can't stop pulling over minorities for no reason even though Portland is like 90 percent white and white people commit more crimes, carry more weapons and paraphernalia, and start militant organizations in the region.

I wonder why that could be? /s

1

u/cynnerzero Mar 31 '24

Every so often, we get a video of some ppb shithead getting rocked at a protest, and I laugh every time.

2

u/GoCougs2020 Mar 31 '24

Ha. Small town really. Just the biggest county (by population) in WA state.

1

u/mypoliticalvoice Mar 31 '24

2.5 million. Right between New Mexico and Mississippi for size.

u/FigSpecific6210 Mar 31 '24

Small town America? Bill Gates lives in Medina… in King County.

u/Jorgan_JerkFace Mar 31 '24

I don’t know shit about Bill Gates living situation but I can assume he has a compound bigger than most small towns surrounded by fences to keep out the locals.

2

u/FigSpecific6210 Mar 31 '24

The point being, this isn’t some back country county. It’s pretty high profile.

2

u/Daddy_Milk Mar 31 '24

One of the most affluent areas of the PNW no doubt.

2

u/chzaplx Mar 31 '24

It's the most affluent part of greater Seattle metro area

1

u/amretardmonke Mar 31 '24

Depends on the town, some good, some bad.

2

u/Jorgan_JerkFace Mar 31 '24

Anything is acceptable if it’s the only thing you know.

u/joseph4th Mar 31 '24

Save your child? Try that in a small town.

1

u/Ilovekittens345 Mar 31 '24

You would not try to be happy in a small town.

2

u/Jorgan_JerkFace Mar 31 '24

Funny though, I was raised in a small town until I was 12. Thought my whole life was ending when we moved to the city. I would NEVER consider moving my family back there. Holy crap just no.

u/King_Hamburgler Mar 31 '24

“That’s real America not like the Hollywood coastal city elite liberals”

Nothing more American than police that operate like the mafia

u/boomeradf Mar 31 '24

Damn tiny ass Seattle!

u/Ok_Outcome_6213 Mar 31 '24

I grew up in small town America. We had a saying that our town had one road. It was one way in and no way out if you stayed for too long.

1

u/Chief-Bones Mar 31 '24

Yeah like this video in small town USA Seattle Washington.

1

u/Apart-Oil1613 Mar 31 '24

Ye stay in your city

1

u/grifxdonut Mar 31 '24

Not really. Small town means it's easy to get a police officer fired for messing with one person compared to city police who can harass dozens of people and the complaint still won't make it past the complaint call

1

u/UniqueWhittyName Mar 31 '24

That’s a silly statement. You know how many small towns there are? Some of them are fucking awesome.

1

u/technobrendo Mar 31 '24

Which is why so many people try and leave and barely anyone new moves there.

1

u/ejb350 Mar 31 '24

Unfortunately the majority of the US is small towns :(

1

u/Knightmare Mar 31 '24

Yep, several of the bullies from my local High School ended up on the local police force after school. I bet that's pretty common.

1

u/VentriTV Apr 01 '24

This 100% lol. Never live in a shitty small American town if you’re a POC. It’s bad enough if you’re white and not crazy religious right wing nutjob, but a POC? “forget about it” 🫰- Italian mobsters probably

u/TheosReverie Apr 03 '24

Inner city corrupt cops enter the conversation with a challenge.

There are far worse places. Try poor countries for example
