What Do The Salisbury Police Do?
"Joe,I've read many of your postings regarding Chief Webster of the Salisbury Police Department and have had an unsettling experience with their detectives myself. My question today is, Why don't the police respond to a resident who is actively witnessing a drug transaction? A friend of mine is trying to rid themselves of drug activity, but when she calls the police, they do nothing. They act as if she is bothering them with the reported activity. I don't understand. Should I advise her to call Sheriff Lewis or do they only handle issues outside of city limits?Confused Citizen"

(Joe's Answer) Well Concerned Citizen, that's a good question. My only answer at this time is, Salisbury is in Wicomico County and you have every right to call the Sheriff's Department. I'd add, contact Davis Ruark as well. After all, he is in charge of all the Police Agencies in Wicomico County.

Our Response: Unfortunately, drugs and crime are obviously rampantly spinning out of control throughout our city and county. While the city police should respond to any 911 call, they must prioritize calls in order of importance. Witnessing a drug transaction, which is unfortunately an everyday occurrence, is not a priority call. Further, an anonymous call is not grounds for probable cause to search a suspect. It is RAS (Reasonable Articulable Suspicion) for stopping, identifying, and developing probable cause for a search. Further, within the city jurisdiction, they handle all city calls for service. The Sheriff's Office, although has concurrent jurisdiction with the city officers, don't routinely respond to calls for service within the city limits. In fact, the county sheriff's office stresses to it's personnel to handle enforcement actions within the county for the most part (this is no big secret as it has been the unofficial policy for years). The Salisbury Police do plenty. They respond to probably four times more calls for service than the county daily. The county has become exponentially busier however statistically, the city runs more calls for service within a months period than the county (and we mean actual calls for service). So, city cops work their butts off. Unfortunately, it's still not enough to curb the crime rate because very little is being done proactively either at the city or county levels. Davis Ruark is not in charge of any police department in actuality nor are they required to comply with his directives or requests on how to run their departments. He is the head "procurator" for the county. Therefore, if the police departments want convictions and prosecutions of their cases, it behoves them to listen to what Davis has to say.

Bear in mind, Davis Ruark is also an elected political official, just like Sheriff Mike Lewis. Ruark and Lewis bumped heads when Ruark was arrested for DUI and having a loaded firearm with him while operating a county vehicle. Lewis advised that he should step down (resign) and rightfully so. Yet he still runs an office that prosecutes DUI's on a routine basis. We do not support Davis Ruark for re-election.

What the crap?

What the crap is going on with the crime rate in this county?! It is out of control. In our on going segment "how to solve crime problems" we are going to make an intermediate break from our chapter series after getting multiple emails from officers from several different agencies. The lack of proper equipment continues to plague departments. We can not understand how it is more important to have rugs, plaques, still be concerned over non essential issues such as "maintain control" over line personnel when long guns still have not been issued to officers who are literally on the front lines of a battle with armed robbers. We feel it is only a matter of time before a gun battle occurs between police and the criminals. If cops are trusted to take peoples freedom away and are trusted with handguns why is it so difficult to have long guns issued to personnel? Even if the depth don't have money to issue all officers long guns in these times they should allow officers to have their own longguns with them as long as they have range time. We urge all departments to allow long guns and backup weapons immediately to prevent the death of or serious injuries to THEIR police officers and allow the officers to have the proper equipment to protect the tax paying public from armed marauders plaguing out society.

2nd Annual Wicomico Eastside Chamber of Commerce Independence Day Celebration

As you may know, last year we sponsored the first annual Wicomico Eastside Chamber of Commerce Independence Day Celebration. In keeping with what we hope will be a long standing tradition, we will again be sponsoring our 2nd Annual Wicomico Eastside Chamber of Commerce Independence Day Celebration. Due to the success of last years event, this years celebration promises to be even better. The event will be held at the Willards Elementary School on Richland Rd. in Willards, Maryland on Saturday, July 4th. It will begin at 12:00 noon this year and there will be games such as three legged races and buffalo chip tossing contests. Station 7 Restaurant, Good Fella's Pizza, and Whitey's Barbecue will be present with excellent food as always. Alex's Lemonade will be there again raising money to help find a cure for childhood cancer. At about 9:00 p.m. Bay Fireworks will present a fireworks display that promises to be outstanding. Last years event captured the spirit of Independence Day Celebrations of times gone by. This year come be a part of it.

Thanks,

Salisbury Rap About Shooting People & Drugs

Another Armed Robbery

Another armed robbery occurred on Mt. Hermon road at the Valero Shore Stop across from the Twilly center. Suspects are two black males fled to the direction of Route 50. Suspects are armed and dangerous. All officers use extreme caution when approaching possible suspects, felony stop on all high value target suspect vehicles observed leaving the scene. Carry your firearm off-duty at all times with extra magazine. Wear your vest while working at all times. As time progresses these criminals are becoming more brazen which may result in an ultimate confrontation with the police and could result in an armed shootout. Be prepared and aware. Don't take chances with your life or safety. Approach all suspicious stops with your weapon unholstered.

Okay, that's great Grinchy, hater of all cops. Who the hell are you to dictate who spends time with their family. And, how would you know, are you a family monitor or what. If you are going to go out better make sure the rascal scooter has a full charge to cart your lard ass around! Get a life you fat, puss filled, bloated, cheese eating, sweaty, fat maggot.

Spotlight on LEOBOR

Disclaimer: Do not rely on the below information in place of legal council as we are not attorneys. The following text is for informational purposes only.

An interesting case involves a retired (retiring) officer from the University of Maryland, Baltimore police department and the Cheverly Police Department. At time of application to Cheverly the officer had spent 19 years as a sworn police officer with the university police at which time he was retiring. The officer had accumulated a large amount of sick time of which he was using upon application with the Cheverly Police Department. A background check was conducted and the officer was hired with Cheverly. A request to MPTC was made for a new certification card. A little while later the officer was informed that he was being investigated (and ultimately charged criminally) as a result of his use of sick time (as a theft). He was suspended from the Cheverly PD. The charges were ultimately dismissed however Cheverly refused to employ him and terminated him citing that he was a "probationary employee" at the time and that he did not fall under the category of a "Law Enforcement Officer" because he had not obtained his MPTC card as of the time of suspension from Cheverly due to he criminal investigation. The argument was made that he was a law enforcement officer and covered under LEOBOR because he had a prior certification, which was active at time of employment with Cheverly, at time of employment a background was conducted which he passed, and an MPTC card had been applied for by Cheverly. Cheverly contested stating that he was not defined as a police officer because MPTC had not granted him a certification card yet.

The special court of appeals decided that he was covered by LEOBOR because they stated the MPTC was not a legislative authority and was primarily installed as a training and certification entity. Further the court stated that at the time of his employment he was a law enforcement officer because he held a current certification card with the University of Maryland Police Department. The court upheld the decision commanding Cheverly to return the officer to active employment and that the sole definition of a "Probationary Employee" had no definition by MPTC in regards to this matter.

Credit Where Credit is Due...

This is a self admitted crappy blog so take whatever we say with a grain of salt. Upon getting several emails with questions about what we think of certain administrators and who we support for election or appointment into positions we, should point out credit where credit is due in administration. It is only fair since we are supporting line cops to the max and allow a forum for line cops to vent their opinions, either negative or positive in nature. We should also point out, we are not siding with them, we just print the truth or at least our version it.

So, we are going to give you our short form positives of heads of administration. This does not mean we either support or do not support the following people. We are simply pointing out their benefits to personnel, the department, and the community. Your opinion may differ of course and we would like you to share your opinion.

Starting with Sheriff Mike Lewis of the Wicomico County Sheriffs Office. Sheriff Lewis has drastically improved road equipment for the agency, specifically the in car agency computers, radar, upcoming E-Ticket and general road units (black and whites) which are equipped with much greater warning power then the previous vehicles. Sheriff Lewis has improved training for officers by allowing a more expansive firearms training program. Sheriff Lewis has also stood behind personnel in various matters that were deemed appropriate. Several matters he did not stand behind personnel because they were involved in criminal conduct, all in an off-duty capacity, which he has no control over or tolerance for, nor should he. Three years ago Sheriff Lewis also added a ACE team and sent several employees to marijuana eradication by use of helicopters and additional out-of-state training for personnel for drug interdiction.

Chief Webster of the Salisbury City Police Department has hired new personnel on a routine basis and in fact does attend many meetings. The Chief also has steadily attempted to obtain higher pay rates for personnel but , in years past, has met with limited results due to budgeting issues coming from the city council. The Chief has, when staffing levels were good, attempted to make changes by instituting new units (or improved units) such as the CAT team and traffic enforcement unit. Many new officers at the Salisbury Police Department, although young, are also very professional personnel that continue to develop into fine police officers.

Chief Philips of the Fruitland Police Department is a recent addition and has been a shot in the arm for moral for the Fruitland Police Department. Many officers enjoy working for him as he continues to upgrade equipment and training. Philips is currently developing programs and plans to curtail criminal activity within the Fruitland area. He is also currently the most popular administrator on our voting system.

Chief Saylor of the Delmar Police Department is a laid back administrator that is easy to get along , drama free, and professional. The department statistically retains more personnel than the others and has just added a K-9 unit to their staff.

Chief Lashley of Salisbury University Police, who is also a newer arrival, promoted a more proactive environment. He expanded the roll and responsibility of department officers for backing up, responding to calls, and assisting the Salisbury Police Department in college residential areas off the college campus.

What are your thoughts?

Billy Mays is Dead

Billy Mays, the oxiclean hawker on television and star of "pitchmen" a reality series is dead at 50. His wife awoke next to him and he was not breathing. He was not feeling well the night before his death and was involved in an accident where the front tire blew out on a US Air flight that day. He was struck in the head by falling objects however, it is not known to be the cause of his death.

When is the public going to realize that cops need to be cops to do the job and protect citizens. Or is it a just a poor economy?? What are your thoughts?

People are tired of crime. That's plain for everyone to see. Let's see this week what we can do about it. Stay tuned for chapter 6. How to solve crime problems.

How to Solve Crime Problems, Chapter 5

Drug Enforcement

Obviously there is a serious problem with drugs in Wicomico County and really all over the Eastern Shore of Maryland and the country. However we have not addressed many of these issues. Liberals would have you believe that drug abuse is a problem that is caused by society or to be more exact a differentiation between classes of society. Therefore, the only thing that people have to turn to is drugs. Bullshit.

While it may be very, very difficult to "rise from the hood" to a decent place in society there are plenty of people that reside in very bad areas of Salisbury that go to college and more power to them because those people are trying to better themselves. Even though they are using student aid loans, that is what the money is therefore and it is accessible by anyone to use. People can make the best of a situation or the worst of one (i.e. using/selling drugs). However, this still does little to address the problem.

First, we need to stem the flow of drugs into the Country and we have a feeling that a lot of drugs are coming in through container shipments from large shipping vessels. These containers can be short stacked to contain large quantities of drugs. With large ships caring thousands of containers per trip it is impossible to check each one for dangerous items. However, we have to start doing a better job of it. Put all the containers when off loading past drug dogs for a quick scan and flag them if drug odors are detected.

We have not seen a rapid increase in Meth production but it is happening and many law enforcement officers do not know how to effectively deal with it when it arrives full steam. This is a particular hazard due to the nature of the drug in it's production with explosive potential.

Within the county we have to do a better job of controlling street level distribution. Frequently we have seen open air drug markets such as on Delaware Ave, Church Street, Booth, West, Olivia, Smith, and many other areas within the city. Salisbury City Police used to have a "ZERO" squad where a team of officers would ride around and perform jump outs on suspected criminals establishing a "zero" tolerance policy. This was particularly effective yet not particularly attractive politically. However, a combined agency jump out team, or several of them, patrolling five random days a week, would rapidly put a stop to open air drug sales. We would also add undercover buys from task force. Of course to do all this agencies need manpower, proper weapons, several vehicles (rentals would do well) and ballistic protection.

Drug sales would suddenly recede into peoples houses. Drug dealers would be more reluctant to invite users into their residences on a daily basis to provide them with drugs or at the least it would remove the open air drug market environment with less people carrying weapons for protection against drug or cash robberies. The drug task force is also woefully understaffed for this drug saturated environment.

Interesting how people speak up now...

It's interesting how people speak up now that they adored Micheal Jackson and learned so much from him and his musical abilities, etc. now that he is D.R.T. (Dead Right There).

We bet a week ago you couldn't get one of these Hollywood liberals to say a good word about this walking corpse (see picture left). He looks like he just crawled out of a grave in his thriller video.. Actually, he was much black-er then. But now that it's the popular thing to do all kinds of people are crawling out from under rocks talking about how great a guy this accused pedophile was. Well LADEFREAKENDA. Everyone was friends with this guy all of a sudden yet while he was alive and leaving candy canes for the kiddies no one wanted to be associated with this guy.

Crime Press Release Meeting

The heads of the Wicomico County law enforcement agencies had a press meeting about the increase in crime in the county recently. Mostly they blamed the increase on the poor economy and other issues. In attendance was SPD (CID), SUPD, Delmar PD, Fruitland PD, MSP, and of course Sheriff Lewis (WCSD). Crime of course is a very serious problem and we here at the Crapper have been publishing daily articles on how to solve crime problems.

Again, we have all the answers! Annnnnyways, so they indicated that they anticipated a spike or increase in crime due to the poor economy about a year and a half ago. However, staffing levels for patrol in most of these departments is dangerously low. Some of these departments only have two or three people working the road per shift. Low staffing and shortages mean increased response times, very poor officer safety, limited or no ability to establish a perimeter directly after a violent crime, no K-9 available on the road, and other serious issues. Although, budget cuts are a problem with all agencies, agencies should prioritize the safety of their citizens and officers in place of toys, equipment, and flashy stuff for appearance. Agencies should cut back on things like, for instance, landscaping, custom carpeting, new offices, comfy chairs and other expenditures designed to solely enhance the image of the agency. It does nothing for the safety of the residents or the police officer's ability to respond and control crime in an exponentially increasing crime ridden area. Funnel the money into better tactical training, weapons training, better equipment for road officers, more positions, or even long guns! "We've got calls stacking! Your time to clear?!"

Ginch Pretends He's a Detective

Wow, this is some real great investigative reporting. It's pictures of a trailer park. Shhhhhhh, Grinch is "behind the scenes". Scouting out criminals and solving crimes.. Shhhhhh... everyone... he's sneekin. Wowwy. This is some detective work Johnathan Taylor (Grinch). Yes, I see it looks crappy... hmmm, it has been crappy for a while..., EURIKA! It's crappy!! We couldn't have solved this case of the crappy trailer park without you Grinchy. Another crappy trailer park in Wicomico? No. Really? Bless you Grinchy for posting this! Bless you!

Part-Time Cops?

Having retired police officers back on the street is a great idea however, most jurisdictions have a hiring freeze right now...even for part-time police officers. WCSD currently has openings posted for a full-time lateral deputy and part-time court deputies. We think that hiring a part-timer for patrol divisions would enhance the functionality of the agencies and vastly reduce overtime expenditures due to low staffing issues. It also depends on how long the officer has been retired because they loose their ability to re obtain their Maryland Police Training Certification after a period of time. The officer would also have to re qualify with an agency issued weapon, essentially making him a "full time" police officer again, even though he would be providing services on a part-time basis.

See e-mail below...

"An idea whose time, I think, has come. There are countless tens if not hundreds of thousands of retired police officers in this country. Probably hundreds living in Wicomico County alone. Many of the retired officers have permits issued by the state to carry concealed handguns. I am one such retired officer. When you talk about retired officers, you're not talking about ancient humans. Because of the vast improvements in police pensions, especially in major urban centers, police officers can and do retire as early as 41 years old after 20 years of service. I personally retired at 44. These individuals bring a wealth of experience to the table. However, many retired officers aren't interested in working in law enforcement full-time. Many are, however, interested in working in law enforcement on a contractual basis. The jurisdictions win because they get the services of a trained police veteran and they don't have to offer benefits such as health insurance and pension benefits, and the retired officer wins because he's doing something he's been trained and has done his entire adult life, and he has the opportunity to use all that expertise and experience to make some extra money. In the meantime, the bad guys really have to be concerned that someone like me isn't pumping gas or buying a soda when they think it would be a great time to pull a robbery"

How to solve crime problems, Chapter Four

How to Solve Crime Problems (and make friends)

Chapter Four - Need For Local Legislative Action for Change

It's interesting how when driving up Route 13 or 50, specifically route 13 we see any number of "zombies" walking around all hours of the night, people standing on the street corners, and hookers working the local gas station and thrift travel inn. We see the same people walking around at three o'clock in the morning, walking from the Church Street area to the Thrift Travel then to Chesapeake Inn. What are these people doing? Where are these people going? Most of the people are either crack heads (we include the prostitutes) or crack dealers. The crack heads mostly wander around all hours of the night looking for their next hit of cocaine. The prostitutes walk around looking for johns so they can get their next hit of cocaine and the guys walking around who aren't looking for crack are either selling crack or watching the prostitutes (pimps).

And who wouldn't like a BJ from this lovely young lady? Well, shes no body from around these parts but as we know, they are seen all over Salisbury, specifically the Church Street area and other areas. If you look close, or far you can see her skull under her skin. Nice eh? Is this want you want to see walking around your city streets night after night. A walking zombie.

Typically your local drug dealer lives in the "inner city" (which most of Salisbury is) or the Booth Street/West Road/Reservation areas. They live in a shit hole, they're yard looks like shit with stuff strewn about, empty baggies littering the front yard, no grass, and a tricycle laying on it's side, with a Escalade with 20" rims parked out front (chrome rims). The rims, by the way, cost aboutt $1500.00 a piece. OR they will have a piece of shit crown Victoria (with spotlight) parked out front with the same 20" rims. The drug dealers don't work and are typically "disabled" on SSI and have "Attention Deficit Disorder" or some other type of pretend ailment that prevents them from being a productive member of society. Their housing is paid for by you, they pay about $15 a month. They get free food, which you also pay for (the Independence card) which they share and barder with (the crackheads use it as currency to buy drugs). They have a 50" plasma or projection television in their living room (rent a center) and a PS3 and XBOX 360 (both stolen in burglaries). They also have free health care. If they walk into any hospital, which can't refuse them service based on indecency, they get free health care, on your dime. They are also provided with a county health care card, also on your dime, which provides them with free health care. SO, obviously they have a lot of free time and money on their hands to deal drugs. Hence, drug dealers. Notice how the new neighborhood watch signs picture a guy wearing his hat backwards, covering his face with a mask.

Gangs

Anyone that says Salisbury doesn't have a gang problem is an idiot. Salisbury and the county have serious gang problems. The "bloods" have filtered down from whatever rock they've crawled out from under, and now have organized to sell drugs, rob people, and commit burglaries. Last week a group threw a chemical bomb into a residence which exploded! Also, have you noticed how many ghetto peoples are wearing red these days? We wish we had the patent on red clothing die because we'd be millionaires just like the gas stations selling white and black tee shirts three years ago. Red is the color that's in currently. Funny that all the armed robberies (or most of them) have been occurring with blue bandannas over their faces. But there is also a known crips problem so it could be some of those idiots also. Not everyone wearing red is a gang members of course. It's like a fashion trend almost. You get the gang members wearing red, then the kids are wearing red, now the old people are wearing red. Not all these people are gang members obviously, but they like wearing red because it's the "cool" thing to do to show alliance with their local street hoodlums.

So, what can we do to change these issues. Local legislative action. Although the local legislature (meaning the city and county government) can not enact laws over riding state laws they can enact laws enhancing or adding to state laws. Which is why almost every type of fighting knife and BB gun, air soft, etc. is illegal in ocean city and will get you arrested. This is because the local city legislature passed bans on these items. The legislature can also pass bans or moratoriums on specific types of businesses under zoning regulations such as porn shops and head shops (ocean city has done this as well). They can even ban specific types of pipes if the pipe is described accurately. They can ban anything really and make it a local arrestable offense.

So first a moratorium is needed on porn shops and head shops. Because come on, who the hell wants to ride up route 13 and see "SEX STYLE" right on the corner of Church Street. What a shit hole. Can we add anymore vice to this area? If these shops already exist local legislature can TAX THEM OUT OF EXISTENCE. Local legislator can pass laws making it a requirement that anyone selling obscene material or certain types of pipes pay $500,000.00 a year (or whatever). Business close. Then any other establishment that would want to open falls under the moratorium. Ahhhh haaaaa!

This also applies to our street walkers and zombies walking around. Local legislators can pass no loitering laws from dusk to dawn (or whenever) in specific areas, subject to immediate arrest.

Tips for a Safer Traffic Stop

As we all know traffic stops can be some of the most dangerous encounters that law enforcement officers have. The majority of traffic stops go smoothly however, stop the wrong car and you've got a serious problem. Just like winning the lottery, except you lose this time. The more vehicles that you stop, the higher the chances you encounter a serious risk. But again, its chance. The majority of all drivers are compliant but an officer may only pull ten stops a year but his unlucky number just could have come up. Don't become complacent, complacency kills. The murder at the shell station proved they will kill for no reason. They must leave the area by vehicle so, chances are they drove right by a marked unit. Maybe stopped at a traffic light you look over and see two guys but you don't have a reason to stop them.. yet they just committed a murder and are fleeing the scene.

Here are some things to bear in mind on stops:

1. When making stop at night, use all vehicle lights, high beams, spotlight, takedowns. Aim spotlight between driver's rear mirror and driver's side mirror. Many drivers will move their mirrors to avoid the blinding light. Once moved, they are not able to observe your movements in the mirror.
2. Look for a backup camera, usually attached to the rear tag. If seen, turn highbeams. These cameras are usually poor quality and can not make the proper light adjustment. If during the day, creep closer to the vehicle then normal so the camera is looking at your front grill.
3. Passenger side approach is good, when approaching make a wider "U" so that you stay in the blind spot of the "C" post. Passenger side approch also keeps you out of traffic.
4. Aways call out with the stop. Location followed by vehicle tag and description of veh (they may have switched tags)
5. Exit driver side and back away from "A" post, walk behind police vehicle (backing up), and approach on passenger side. Do not look at police lights. Look through rear window when rounding rear of police vehicle to watch stopped vehicle.
6. Wait several seconds prior to approaching, look for sudden movements or suspicious behavior, make approach quick. When in doubt call for a back up unit. Follow your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't right.
7. Touch the rear of the suspect vehicle with an ungloved hand.
8. When returning to your vehicle, back away from the traffic stop, don't walk with your back to the suspect.
9. Don't allow the suspect to exit the vehicle.
10. Stand behind the "B" post. Vehicle posts have been known to stop or deflect bullets.
11. If in a shooting situation remember to shoot center mass OR target of opportunity. If suspects head is available, shoot at head, arm shoot at arm. Lethal shots are femoral arteries, head, neck area, center of chest. Bad internal bleeding may occur in lower abdomen but can survive.
12. A driven and committed suspect may require multiple rounds to stop.
13. If your department allows, carry a back up weapon. It has been known to save a cops life.

How to Solve Crime Problems, Chapter 3

Okay so we've made it this far on how to solve crime problems. First, better communication between law enforcement agencies, second allow cops to be cops and to use force where force is needed. This brings us to Chapter 3..

Chapter 3 - Judicial System

Everyone knows that if you go to the wrong judges court room it's like watching puke colored paint dry. Sitting through a long and drawn out, whatever it is, on some crazy issue that could take five minutes to decide and solve. However, for whatever reason some judge want us to sit through their endless and mind numbing stories of nothing. Most of the time after a 30 min. endless speech on whatever, the suspect is given a PBJ. There is something seriously wrong with this. Judges like that should be removed from the bench to prevent a total collapse of our judicial system. When criminals know the judges are a joke who don't hand out time, just a no no, this creates a revolving door. These people should not be judge they should get a job as an insurance salesman somewhere. Get rid of these people and install judges that care and make fair decisions. These poor excuse for judicial officers are why the system has so many problems and why it takes time, after time, after time to get the case to court. If a suspect is given an advisory at the commissioners office, to get and attorney, why do we let him postpone the case to get an attorney? The suspect's dumb ass couldn't figure out to get an attorney? No, he knows. He knows that if he goes to court without an attorney he can play the system. Make it two more times and then request a jury trial and another postponement for a two months.

How about this new system. You are advised by the commissioner (as currently is) that you have the right to an attorney. First time case comes up, make a decision, either jury trial (if warranted) or heard in district court. No attorney, proceed today. Why do we allow criminals to schedule their cases because they "were busy" and could not get an attorney? What about thousands of man hours each year paid to cops that would rather be home doing something else on their day off? Why is preference given to accused criminals? We poop on them. You commit a capitol offense, death by hanging in front of the court house. Rape=death, armed robbery=death, murder=death. Better yet, remember that movie "The Running Man"...not a bad idea...Save taxpayers money on housing them and entertains the masses while deterring crime.

Juvenile Injustice

What a complete and total joke this system is. An arrest takes place for a felony charge ad they are released back to the parent, who is probably a felon themselves. The juvenile gets arrested ten more times for lets say, drug distribution, and they get released back to their parent again with a joke of a court to follow up with. The only juveniles that get (rarely) detained are the ones that essentially piss off someone who holds their keys, like the DJJ Officer or the Judge. Another revolving door system that MANUFACTURES criminals. By the time these criminals are 18 they know the system inside and out and know that it's a joke. What kind of a place are these juvenile homes? These places are also a joke. They house criminals but the staff can't do anything to correct their behaviors except for "moving them a step" like losing movie privilege for night. Give us a break. How about if these criminals are committing crimes or acting a fool, "one across the lip" (as fred sanford used to say)? This system needs to be totally erased and start from scratch. It's obviously broken, very broken.

If you put a criminal juvenile in a juvenile facility there should be no damn PlayStation's and Wii's laying around. Put them to work on a chain gang. If they don't listen to staff at a juvenile home, one across the lip. Still don't listen? One across the jaw. The behavior will change eventually. So, to fix the DJJ system, intake officer decides if the juvenile warrants detention or a smack upside his head. If detained, put to work immediately until trial. If found guilty, hard labor for sentence. Personally we like the whole public caning thing.

Top Cop Updates

Okay, okay peoples we get that Officer Crockett is a good police officer. Thanks for his nomination 15 times over! But, that was just a nomination. Some posts we got were two or three minutes apart? Kind of odd. So, we are going to do the only fair thing possible which is put it to a vote. Each month we will take NOMINATIONS (!) for a supervisor (Sgt. and below) and an Officer at which time we will narrow the choices down to several and post them for a vote. The nice thing about the voting system is it only allows one computer to vote one time on each question. Each supervisor and officer can only win one month, then must skip a month of nominations unless there is a special circumstance that warrants his or her nomination for two months in a row (there are only so many free dinners were are giving one guy people). Lets all make this fair. Lastly, most of the comments have either been positive in support of a particular officer or negative in an opinion perspective, which we will publish. However, some abusive idiot commented, "(Officer/Trooper/Deputy) is a Pussy". That comment was not posted and will not be posted. Kiss our ass. We ignore comments that have no deciding value and are only prompted either out of jealousy or because the writer of the post is a sorry piece of crap who doesn't belong wearing a badge in the first place. We poop on you. People like that are what's wrong in police work, a lack of solidarity, which this award is trying to promote. We are not letting it go down like that. So please see the poll to the right to vote on who you think has what it takes to be this months top cop. Once all votes are in we will make a final determination of who to award the prize to. This is not a popularity contest. So even if Officer "X" is a popular guy but is totally undeserving of the prize, even though people voted for him, tough crap. We run this show and we give our award to who we want. However, we do give serious consideration to the vote tally and initial nominations. There is no fix in this contest because frankly you don't know who we are so there is no ass for us to kiss!

Blog Ups and Downs

Here the poophead grinch says that he reported Joe Albero's "Shack" to Pittsville. Nothing better to do like go volunteer to help people in the city he touts.

Albero today posted information and his reflection on the current state of crime in the city and the state essentially calling for Chief Webster's resignation. Of course the "Grinch" who is actually a guy named Johnathan Taylor, published a video feed with him lecturing to people what they should think but essentially insulting Joe Albero. Referencing an earlier article we wrote this month, Joe's drive against the Salisbury Police Department is due to some situation with his wife getting fired from the zoo some time ago and we believe the interaction he had with Webster during this issue. However, Joe was known to frequent the zoo constantly and snap pictures of the then zoo director. This Grinch fellow posts daily videos of himself (wearing a mask) lecturing to us. His most recent calls into question Joe's reporting of some juveniles or adults or whomever who were hanging out in the save-a-lot parking lot behind SPD at reportedly four AM (although there is some dispute about the time apparently). The grinch's entire outlook is to trash Joe with little or no real "news" value. In fact his ratio to insulting Joe to publishing "news" is about five to one. It's amazing that people have this much time to dedicate to a cause that does not benefit them, other than ego inflation, to the least financially or otherwise. This grinch guy has even gone so far as to market merchandise with "FUJA" printed on it (F you Joe Albero) which is kinda comical but really does nothing to benefit the city in which he touts as being a great place to live. This shithole?

As we all know, the crime rate in this city is outrageous and continues to escalate. Unfortunately, Chief Webster has done little to nothing in order to change this issue. We will be publishing more later today on our topic of How to Solve the Crime Problem, Chapter 3. However, Salisbury does need an aggressive Chief of Police that is not afraid to get his/her hands dirty and is not afraid of liability issues when enforcing the law. As of this point Chief Webster has done a lot of reorganizing but little has effected the growing crime problem. So, we are also going to work his department in our next article on how to solve crime problems with changes internally that would quell the fungus that is overtaking the city.

Look at this green retard wearing this stupid crap, where is Avnet when you need him to slap this retarded ass upside his head?! Just kidding Avnet ( No, Avnet took proper action when a mentally deranged man attempted to rob a store)

As for the Grinch, keep up the finger pointing at Joe and the county and Joe keep the finger pointing at the city. Although calling attention to problems is needed, it does nothing to help solve these problems. If you are interested in solving these issues, Ginch, we recommend that you get more involved in civic duty and when you see an issue step up to the plate to render a fix for it. If you see a sidewalk that needs repairing, ask the city or county for the concrete and go out and fix the problem or volunteer to walk along side of our jail birds picking up garbage on the side of our highways. We will give Joe credit where credit is due, he has volunteered in clean ups several times in the city, church street areas and other areas. So in our book, although somewhat flamboyant, Joe at the least follows through with a lot of his ideals where as the Grinch is just an fool in a green mask. We do not however agree with Joe's prior bashing of the Fire Dept and Police departments as a whole. The grinch on the other hand has gone so far as to call the Mayor a homosexual. And, even if he is, what of it, who cares as long as he can get the crime rate down and improve the city. Maybe if the grinch was a homosexual he could get some play, from some poor bastard, somewhere. Maybe not, sorry, not to insult the homosexuals that you would want this harry walking peter. In fact if this poophead wanted to solve problems he could cut off a slice or chunk rather of his hamhock like ass and serve it up as scrapple to the homeless in the city. We don't have an issue with weight challanged people but this guy is so fat and ugly when he was born they tried to use a shoehorn to put him back in!

How to solve crime problems, Chapter 2

Accountability & Respect

One of the major issues of crime is that police officer these days are accountable for everything including what they do both on and off-duty. As police should be accountable for being above the line of the standard person. Therefore, yes cops are above other people. This crap philosophy of citizenry is equal to or somehow alike the police is ridiculous. Citizens feel that officers have to be angels of mercy. They want cops to protect them from the bad guys but if they take aggressive action, they are disciplined and even fired. Society can not have it's cake and eat it too. If you want to be a low crime society then Law Enforcement must be allowed to enforce laws, duh. Criminals don't care about laws or who they hurt or kill because they are criminals. Police officers have to worry about civil liability, camera phones, in car cameras, people recording them, being investigated internally and a whole host of other issues, not the least of which is getting killed on the road.

Law and Disorder

Police officers should be immune to law suits when performing their job function. Ever notice how people have no respect for the police, their elders or anything anymore? We wonder why that is... Well 25 years ago if you acted a fool with the police they would beat your head in and you respected them for that. Now there is so much civil liability and internal investigations that cops are afraid to take enforcement action of any kind. Picture left cop in Zimbabwe reasoning with suspect.

People, these are criminals and fools who you don't want breaking into your house, robbing you at gun point or shooting you in a store while you shop. But, yet we have people like Boykin writing negative articles about our law enforcement professionals to sell newspapers. Yet, we expect law enforcement to protect us. Please! Enough is enough. Lets rewind times back to the 1980's philosophy in law enforcement. The police are the police period. Let them do their jobs. If they have to wack some sense into some fool with a slap jack then more power to them. These criminals are not the innocent lambs that liberals would have you believe. Liberals want law enforcement to treat them with kid gloves, not hurt them or harass them, but yet want to feel protected inside their estates in the hills. As society continues to deteriorate things will only get exponentially worse. Time to take the handcuffs off law enforcement and authorize them to take care of business the right way. Getting sued is better then having one innocent citizen killed in the wake of these criminals. Poop on their heads. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USING EXCESSIVE FORCE TO EFFECT AN ARREST ON A CITIZEN FOR A MINOR VIOLATION AND USING APPROPRIATE FORCE TO EFFECT AN ARREST ON A CRIMINAL AND DETER CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR FROM REOCCURRING OR OCCURRING IN THE FUTURE OR IN THE FIRST PLACE. Respect from fear is healthy for a society, from authority figures. While people should not fear the police in a call for help sense they should have a healthy respect for the police. If you were brought up the right way you knew if your dad or mom got upset with you, you may get a swat across your lip or a wack with the belt. Your healthy fear of authority deterred unwanted behaviors. But you still respected them because they didn't use excessive force (i.e. abusive force) to get their point across. So evidently this works.

So, issue slaps, PR 24's to all police. Issue long guns, bag guns, rocket launchers, and whatever else they need in order to combat this serious crime problem. Don't hold them civilly liable for use of force, if the person is a criminal or in commission of a crime. Poop on them. Or, continue to hold them liable and investigate their every action, but don't wonder why crime is getting exponentially worse every day and your house just got robbed. No explaining, no internals, you want safety? We've got your answers. Here a citizen is show a healthy respect for the riot police by saying in body language, "Hey I respect you, don't kick my ass".

Police haters would have you believe the police are like Gestapo. Give us a break. That's fine, suspend police for a day and see what happens to your lovely home and H3. We bet you'll see an escalate pull up with 20" rims, bought with your tax dollars by the way, four guys with blue bandannas get out, shoot you in the face, and take your wife's jewelry while shes tied up and raped in a hall closet. Cause, that's about the extent of what you got right now and we are slipping downhill fast. While we are at it, reinstate corporal punishment in schools and capital punishment in this state. Here's a great idea... with crime on the rise lets do away with capital punishment and house these animals for 50 years on your dime.

Time to take law enforcement's gloves off if you want a safe environment in this WICBURY CRAPPER.

Rocket Scientist

So, fat ass has spend "quite a bit of time researching numbers" and he can tell us that drugs are the problem? Wow. This guy is a rocket scientist if we have ever saw one! It's a good thing we have guys like this idiot around to tell us how to think and what the problems are because dumb cops can't figure it out! You fluffer.

Some organizations want to make all drugs legalized including a police organization such as LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition)

http://www.leap.cc/cms/index.php. These people sell shirts and lapel badges saying "COPS SAY LEGALIZE DRUGS". What's wrong with these people, are they on drugs themselves? Well, oxicodone and Oxycontin are legal drugs along with methadone and yet still people are breaking into pharmacies and selling these drugs on the street for $20 to $40 a pill in some areas. So, if drugs were legalized, would the government control it like oxi? Wouldn't we have the same problem we have now but worse? Would the government be in control of distributing crack cocaine and methamphetamine? That'd be real good. Why not, they inspect our beef and produce to protect us so we would assume that drugs would fall under the FDA also just like over the counter medications and prescriptions. So, you need a prescription for an antibiotic but its okay to buy uncontrolled drugs on a street corner? What do you think?

Some countries have legalized some drugs and they have zombies walking around their cities hooked on heroine. http://www.emcdda.europa.eu/publications/country-overviews/nl

Armed robbery results in death of store worker...

Do you have the proper equipment to confront armed robbers who maybe exiting a store and have just committed a murder? Some departments do not issue long guns, it may cost an officer his or her life. Be careful out there, wear your vest. Officers if the stress becomes too much at a scene or any other time don't hesitate to contact the employee assistance program...Contacts are confidential.

We send our condolences to the family of the victim.

SALISBURY -- A 49-year-old man was shot and killed late last night inside a North Salisbury Boulevard gas station, police said.

Lt. Rob Kemp, a spokesman with the Salisbury Police Department, said officers were called to the Shell Station located in the 2500 block of N. Salisbury Blvd. Monday night just after 11 p.m. and found the victim in the doorway of the business.

The victim, who had been shot multiple times, was rushed to the Peninsula Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, Kemp said.

Witnesses say the man was shot when he was standing behind the counter and two men came into the store pointed a gun at him and demanded money. As the victim raised his arms, he was shot once in the abdomen, Kemp said.

A struggle ensued and the victim shot several more times, Kemp said. A detailed description of the suspects was not available.

Anyone with information should call the Salisbury Police Department at 410-548-3165 or Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776.

Shooting Rt 13 N, Shell Station

Another person was shot 3 times tonight at the Shell Station near the Salisbury Trailer Park. The trailer park has long been known for drug activity and to be home to undesirables. Gang members were recently seen hanging out in the area of the shell station. Crime is continuing to creep north into the commercial store area where once it was primarily south of Priscilla street. Remember don't get caught in a bad situation without your firearm. On or off-duty, carry it with you. It can save you life or your families life. An ordinary situation can become violent in a seconds time. Be ready to react. Remember to identify yourself as a police officer and remember the secret sign if confronted by a uniformed officer and you are off-duty in a hostile situation.

Tips for off-duty encounter with armed gunman in public area:

1. Identify suspects from citizens and other possible off-duty police officers
2. Verify suspect is armed
3. Establish clear line of fire, if possible establish covered position if unable, concealed position
4. Check background
5. If feasible, identify yourself as a police officer
6. Shoot to stop threat, shoot center of mass
7. Scan after shooting, stay in position, do not approach suspect if down, yell to stay down
8. If you are hit, do not give up, shoot to kill suspect
9. Call on duty police, advise off-duty police officer on scene, give description of what you are wearing, name, and ID number
10. Be ready to drop weapon if demanded by on duty units, give secret signal if required

Keep up the good work WCSO!

How to solve crime problems, Chapter Uno

So how do we solve this crazy crime problem we have in the city AND the county? That's right, we have the answers! We can solve all the crime problems (not really) but we can damn sure kill most of them, just like putting poison down for rats! You heard it here first, we have all the answers! So Chapter one in our crime resolution plans for world domination, er to solve crime problems we mean.

Step 1 - Start doing organized police work, communication.

The fact that agencies don't share intelligence on a regular basis or work in conjunction with each other is complete smelly crap. Each agency likes to act independent of the others, except when there is a large scale problem and then they launch a night of 40 people working to solve an intermittent issue that needs to be prevented and controlled instead of swatted with 40 people on overtime assignment.

In order to organize police work effectively, we have to put our egos aside and sit down at a table and share information, daily. CID especially within agencies needs to work very closely with one another, in person or by video conferencing office to office. Communication should happen twice a day if possible, at the beginning of the day and at the end. There should be a summery sheet of current investigations and suspects e-mailed or faxed to the agency coordinator daily which would cut down on agencies investigating the same issues and would enhance a closer working relationship between agencies. CID must work much, much closer with patrol officers and be at roll calls, each roll call, daily or at least provide a summery of investigation status to roll calls. Being a detective is not only an honor, its a job. The ultimate goal is to arrest criminals.

Cut out the politics. Politics do nothing but hamper law enforcement from doing their job. Yes, this is a totally thankless profession. We are expected to act the best but deal with the worst and still act the best. We are expected to perform unreasonable requests, get yelled at about foolish issues that have no real consequence by administrations, read umpteen memorandums, e-mails, policies, procedures, and abide by unwritten or ever changing rules and regulations. The last thing we need is politics, which motivates much of the above, in law enforcement, but it is rampant. How about the politicians give us the money to operate effectively, stay out of our way, and we control crime and get results.

While we are at it, lets cut out egos. Administrative or supervisory egos have a terrible effect on moral and line officers performing at their peak performance. In fact, the more a line officer is mistreated, the worse he will do on the job because he adopts a passive aggressive attitude, which is his only means of fighting back. If the road officer is not screwing up, let him do his job and lock people up. If and when he screws up, then address the issue appropriately. Line officers with egos, lets get real. We are all cops, loose your 'tude. We don't care if you are CID, SWAT, or whatever, you aren't any better or have any other powers than anyone else on the road. Yeah, we know you are hot crap but really, who gives a crap. Shut up and get to work with the rest of us. Do you ever see your agency leader? Do they stop in at roll calls to talk to line personnel and assist them on the road? Do they handle calls for service along side you? If not, this is a problem because it creates a wide seperation between the ranks. Although they have an administrative job, they carry a badge and a gun like the rest of you.

All agencies should be operating on one radio system and digitally encoded. Each area of the county, especially the ones with independent cities such as Salisbury, Delmar, and Fruitland should have their own operational channel with one main channel. Communications needs to be upgraded dramatically, including dispatchers. Dispatchers are a vital component of the incident response system and should have double the current staff. They must be knowledgeable and trained to do their job and effectively handle the stress of dealing with the public and the officers on a daily basis. Attitude problems amongst dispatchers in some agencies is rampant and this does nothing but slow response times and delay vital communications that could result in the injury or death of a citizen or officer. For some reason either supervisors or administration are reluctant to address these problems with attitudes. Unfortunately, there is no quick fix in this issue except to pay dispatchers more and to retain qualified dispatchers and terminate lackadaisical dispatchers and to invest in training in these people.

Off-duty officers from all agencies should have a dinner or "social" once a month, where for about 30 min, someone who is well liked by all, a line officer or line supervisor, addresses the crowd with the months highlights and mentions who is doing a good job in each agency. Further, become involved in your local Fraternal Order of Police Lodges. Some lodges have more "teeth" than others and this is because of a serious lack of cohesion between members. You must attend meetings in order to change anything; there is strength in numbers. A strong FOP with a large attending membership is much stronger than a weak FOP with no one in attendance. This sends a message to administration that you are divided and can not even make the effort to go to a meeting to resolve issues that concern you directly.

Moral and "the thin blue line" is a very important factor in police work that is lacking in this area and most of the Eastern Shore. We as law enforcement tend to be at each other's throats a lot and talk about each other behind each others backs. Granted, there are cops that shouldn't be cops and they're are cops that are stupid or want to hump your wife however, these are all individual internal personnel issues. As a whole multi-agency personnel must do a better job in becoming more fluid and much more protective of each other. Regardless of which agency you work for, doesn't matter, we all do the same job.

Roll Call Training - Officer Safety Tips

Due to our increased rate of burglaries and armed robberies remembers that your safety and the safety of your fellow officers is job number one. When responding to calls code 3 bear in mind that you can only made a difference if you get to the call in once piece. So be sure to clear intersections and control your speed. Unless a fellow officer is screaming for help, be careful in your overall response. Don't get complacent. Complacency kills. Treat every alarm and burglary call as if it were an actual burglary in progress. Don't be afraid to withdraw your firearm from your holster and keep it by your side as you check the exterior of a building. When stopping for coffee drive around the parking area twice and look through the glass and at the vehicles outside to ensure that you are not walking into an armed robbery in progress. Park away from the front of the business and when entering, watch your surroundings. Carry your firearm at all times, on or off-duty.

We at the crapper can not handle this all on our own. So, we are looking for columnists. If you think you have what it takes, know English, have a GED and most of your teeth, we may be looking for you!

Another Idiot Grinch Video

Well, here's another idiot Grinch video with this fool sitting on a couch spouting off crap. Now, frankly we agree with his statement that taking pictures of how crappy Salisbury is does little to nothing to fix the problems however this fool has done the same thing by taking pictures of Joe Albero's offices and surrounding areas, which is in the city. So he's a hypocrite. Johnathan is going on the attack today? Here are some things we have found out about Johnathan Taylor (not really, its bullcrap). His mask facial hair is only dwarfed by his man carpet. The carpet also matches the drapes, green and shaggy. Interestingly, you can tell by his shoulder width that he matches the pictures taken of him earlier. Getting back to the topic at hand, while we understand his frustration with people taking pictures of how crappy this city is, it is a crappy city and things need to be pointed out to embarrass the city into fixing the problems or at the least calling attention to them. Tourism? Are you kidding? What kind of tourism would people be attracted to in this craphole of a city? Fix the problems first and then talk about tourism. Holy crapola. Here's our idea for a current tourism ad campaign:

Wanna have fun? Get shot and/or robbed or robbed and shot or robbed, raped, then shot? Come to Salisbury.

We would love to have your money (prior to getting robbed) so we can fix all this crap that's messed up around you. Come now and one of our skilled CSI people will draw that cool chalk outline around you! Saliscrapper! All American City, almost!
