You can kiss cheap permits, and effective LE goodbye at least.

Mike Hale was the ONLY sheriff in AL that supported Constitutional Carry.

I'm actually shocked by his loss. I didn't think he was in trouble.

I’d imagine the new DA is gonna screw us too in reguard to LE as well. Catch and Release will be order of the day.

This is bad folks, a critical mass has been reached in JeffCo and it looks like we’re headed to Detroit.

I knew it was gonna happen, just look at the judge and the Jones races. Jefferson County is now blue.

i have several very close friends at JCSO. they hate the guy. i have heard he is SERIOUSLY racist toward white deputies and they are expecting a fairly large turnover if that begins to work it's way down the chain. as for soft the county here was about the only LE agency that actually went after criminals in an appropriate manner in bad areas. that i suspect will now end. this is really bad for JCSO imho.

I saw a campaign ad shortly before the elections about him talking about bringing body cameras to JCSO (which Hale has already done) and he made some reference to accountability for officers and protecting the citizenry. I can't find the commercial right off hand, but it seemed very pro BLM.

My son just graduated Hoover, and I have been in most schools in the county what with football and marching band; every school I have been to in the last four years has had SRO's. What a tool.

From what I heard, everything he promised to do was already done by Hale.  He may end up being the very first politician who has kept all his campaign promises!

Sadly, this is what happens when voters don't do their homework.

Interesting plan - train inmates to work on HVAC systems.  

He will implement programs in the jail that will allow inmates to earn a GED or High School Diploma and provide opportunities for them to learn a skilled trade, such as heating & air, plumbing or electrical trades.

As above post said,

Jefferson County Sheriff's Office is super fucked.

As for the regular schlubs who live there, they're fucked too.

Center Point is already a shithole, and its going to get worse.

Expect a mass breakout of "smile and wave" policing from both BPD and JCSO.

Property values will crater and taxes will go up, crime will appear to go down, because it will be juked or not reported.

Why bring up BPD? Same guy who picked their new Chief is the guy who pushed Pettway over the top. Woodfin.

Woodfin is a very dangerous person, according to previously mentioned sources, his whole family is wrapped up in several illegal enterprises, and politically hes built quite a capable machine taking over Jefferson County (I've heard it said, it was he who got Doug Jones over the top, replaced the DA's, Judges, and Now Sheriff, finally made himself Mayor of Birmingham).

Yep.

According to my guy, some of those are Captains, Lieutenants and Sergeants as well. I imagine all the appointed people will be gone too.

I wonder if Hale will do the young guys a solid and start signing transfer paperwork for people who can try to flee but aren't eligible to retire.

According to the same source, two names percolating for upper command are Hannah (former Deputy, positively regarded by source) and Hill (ran for Sheriff last time).

If thats true, Pettway is trying to get a White Guy to prove he ain't racist or at least provide a shield to such accusations.

there are parts of that i don't disagree with in a perfect world.

i also understand there is an element in this society that can't be educated away from crime and only responds to violence and force. i ride with a few guys in CP fairly regularly. there is no way they will ever be officer friendly that knows everyone in that area. far to many calls, too few deputies, too much real violence and stupidity. They all have their "informants" and generally know where the problems are, where the dope is being moved to, who's moving it, where the stash houses for stolen goods are etc. what they don't have is the time, resources, and backing from the courts and prosecutors to get these assholes off the streets. until that changes pettway isn;t going to change anything and turning CP into friendly faces is going to turn it into a bigger war zone than it already is.

Yeah, I could give a shit less about the Weed, personally, and the job skills thing is nothing but a waste of money, refusing to arm teachers is dumb, but the status quo.

Trying to outreach the creatures of Tha Purnt (or similar) is just pants on head retarded and gonna get someone killed in the streets. Literally.

Less enforcement is just going to embolden them, and like you said, turn it into an every larger war zone.

My issue is that hes already race baiting, and hasn't even assumed the office yet, thats gonna have a real chilling effect on any Deputy who is still even semi-proactive, if like me, you own property in Jefferson County (even a nice area) its time to get out.

Jefferson County is done for. Used to you could depend on the Deputies, Judges, and DA's Office, not anymore. One by one they fell.

Smaller Municipalities will also be effected (even Nice ones, Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Trussville {Trussville is really gonna feel the effect I think {proximity to CP}} etc.) because if they charge with a Felony, those officers will have to deal with the new Hug-A-Thug DA, and it will be a revolving door I'm afraid.

Thats tough, Mountain Brook will probably be the last good place in Jefferson County (along with Vestavia Hills), but you gotta figure at some point they'll be overran, then again, that didn't happen in certain parts of Chicago or even New Orleans...

Personally, I'm looking Jasper, Curry, Cullman, or like you said, further North (Huntsville, Lake Guntersville) or WAY South (Baldwin Co.)
