Maybe you should APPRECIATE

What in the world do you people think!? A person uses deadly force on a suspect/animal and you want the police to talk to them, taze them, send the dog!? For crying out loud..every officer does not ride around with a dog in their unit, every officer is not required to carry a taser and they do not try to strike up a conversation with a person when he is beating,stabbing, or shooting someone! Next thing you know, you'd want them to take the time to call Dominos and order a freakin' pizza!

Another thing, do you think every deputy in this town knows every looney tune, drug dealer, murderer? Heck no they don't! One dies off and another takes his/her place. The deputies do what they have to do and if it were you in their same position you'd done the same thing. They have an obligation to protect those who can't and to protect life.

It appauls me that some of you, ridicule the deputies when they DO their job. What would most of you know about what really happens in the day & life of an officer or the workings of a law enforcement agency w/o any formal training. You wouldn't dare complain at your doctor or dentist for doing their job. Nope, you wouldn't 'cause you do not have formal training in that dept. either.

You only complain about the police when you get a traffic ticket, a summons, get arrested, when they do something and when they do not do what you think is right..which is practically all the time. These officers have to put up with more BS than the average person, more stress than the average person, including people yelling, cursing, spitting and sometimes even jumping on their backs when they are making an arrest. Then they go to the S.O. and have to put up with a few bureaucratic superviors and all the ugly people in upper Administration who havn't been in patrol in years or have never patrolled and get accused of things that really never happened or hear that thier report was the subject at this mornings briefing. I have worked for the Sheriff's Department and they have always been short handed just like every other agency in America. It affects them as much as it does you, most of these guys care and are upset that they do not have time to effectively patrol their "section" You come in here or get on TV and voice you idiotic opinions about the wrong that was done. You never realize that the first line of our nations defense comes from law enforcement. How else would you be able to get a good night's sleep. You couldn't hack it! You should be hugging the next officer you see or shaking his hand and saying an earnest thank you, because the next life he saves just might be yours.

Get to know the officer who patrols your neighborhood and you will see that they are people to. You may even find a trustworthy friend you could count on when the chips are down.

" Well retired COP I do think you may have had a point at one time. But the days of suffering are over. The thin blue line is now vanishing and the need for the men and women in blue is at it's highest level in history. It is a bidding war. The door never stops swinging. Thanks for your service no matter what community or agency you served. "

" Well Donut you're all glazed over with excitment of what you perceive to be your truth about Mr. Leach. I guess you've got Mr. Leach all figured out. First you cast aspersions in cleaverly vieled words like Sgt. and leach and want people to believe you don't have a thing for him, I mean against him. Just face it he's gone and beating up on him is futile. So let's try this Donut. I didn't mean to call the Po-Po corrupt. It was my incomprehensible anger out of control. I'M SORRY PO-PO! DONUT. "

" Slim Fast is so furious, he's making mistakes. He wrote, "You've covered all your bases. Corrupt S.O. and Ex-NIPD. Whooo! What a brain full. You need mental thearpy." He didn't like me saying there were some corrupt IPSO and ex-NIPD. But as Jim Leach he wrote July 2006, "Yes, there was corruption at NIPD. Yes, there is corrupting at S.O." This proves he is a hypocrite! Using his own observation, he has a brain full and needs therapy fast! He's self-destructing before our very eyes with this pretension he is not Jim Leach. "

" You're the only one speaking for Leach, so thanks for saying no one speaks for Leach but Leach himself. Finally some truth from you, we're making progress. Jim Leach wrote July 16, 2007, "At least when I'm publicly calling someone to the carpet I have the common courtesy and conviction to identify myself." Another big leach lie. Slim Fast, you know Jim Leach is still around every time you look in the mirror. You're so weak. Forum is onto all your lies and tricks. "

Sharpie wrote on Jan 21, 2008 12:43 AM:

" Hey keeping it real when you left the department what was the reason? Oh that's right you didn't fit in with the rest of the Flunkies as you put it. You should have hung around or a least gave a phone number as to where you could be found during business hours so your Flunkies could find you when they needed you. If you're thinking of staging a come-back keep those things in mind. Location and a phone number for your Flunkies to find you during business hours. Just keepin it real. "

Slim Fast wrote on Jan 21, 2008 12:31 AM:

" I assure you no-one has to speak for Mr. Leach. Does anyone know if he's still around anymore? But it's all good Donut we are making headway. Evidently the lie you believe Mr. Leach wrote must have deminished your life. Even though it's late I'll try my best to help you through it. Was it a ticket he wrote you? Did he speak harshly to you in NIPD Ease? Did you wink at him and he didn't return the wink? Let's repeat, it was an accident I didn't mean to make the Po-Po mad-at-me. "

When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place

They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,

Three years later in 7/16/2007 letter, Jim Leach admitted he had not moved to Texas, but only after being caught lying! He proved himself to be an outrageous liar who enjoys lying to hurt people in New Iberia. "

" ...it's not their they don't have enough.Then you get upset at them because their dispatchers don't give them the correct or enough information when you call. Lets face it these so-called dispatchers,are "deputies" also, who send these guys to calls with no information, because they failed to get it, then blame it on the citizens saying you didn't give it when you actually did. But yet they get away with it. One day an officer is going to die due to these dispatchers not doing there jobs. Look at all aspects before pointing the finger. "

These deputies are scheduled for "FTO program" and the academy, but at the last minute are told they can't because Sid doesn't have enough in his budget or they need the FTO's on the road because they are short on every shift. You people fail to realize what these guys are faced with. You get angry because when you need service, they aren't there in 5 minutes "

I don't recall Tracy ever personally attacking anyone in her "post" so what gives you the right? Just clarify anyone who works for IPSO is a commissioned deputy including the janitor, so that means everyone is a deputy. I PERSONALLY think the deputies that work the streets should be given respect, they put their lives on the line everyday. I don't think the "deputies" in other departments deserve as much respect.

Reply to Slim Fast, a.k.a. Mr. Leach wrote on Jan 19, 2008 3:46 PM:

" Nobody wrote anything about a Mr. Leach in comments, until SlimFast got so shookup at imagining he saw his own name that he stayed up to 1:00AM furiously writing his fantasy comments. During his 1:00AM temper fit, he disclosed his real name is Mr.Leach. I do remember last year an ex-NIPD Jim Leach being exposed as big Forum liar who disrespects everybody in N.I., same as SlimFast. Nobody came to Mr.Leach's defense then, so logic says he is the only one defending himself now. "

A very wise writer wrote on Jan 19, 2008 9:05 AM:

" IAGREE... I can already tell that most of these people sit back and speculate about things and make comments about something or someone they no nothing about. How can they sit back and accuse forum writters of being disgruntled deputies. Can they see beyond the screen? I don't think anyone insinuated where they worked!! These officers hear BS all day on the streets and can't even go home to read the paper. Someone writes something that should make one feel good about themselves and you people turn it into a bashing match. You bashers need HELP!! "

It's OK now, he's been out of the business for nearly four years Donut. Again let's walk you through it to get past the denial. I did not mean to make the big bad Po Po mad at me. It was an accident. Now apologize to Mr. Leach because he is no longer an officer nor your problem Donut. "

Can you blame Tracy for leaving this HORRIBLE department that is full of corruption? I sure as the hell can't. I can bet you she will have a job waiting for her once Mr.Ackal takes office July 1st You and your little gossip buddies will be sitting in the unemployment line whining. Just to clarify Tracy was NOT fired,she stood for what was right and they didn't like it so she QUIT! "

Working beside "still waiting" wrote on Jan 17, 2008 3:51 PM:

Someone doesn't know what the hell they are talking about.I think "still waiting" needs to start packing their office before June 30th. I'm positive Ackal doesn't want you or your other little side kicks working for him huh and you know that too. You are just angry you aren't going to have your little position when Ackal takes over.

Pointing the finger wrote on Jan 17, 2008 3:45 PM:

" I don't think Ms.Presley pointed fingers at anyone, nor did she say ALL were perfect. How can you sit here and point the judgemental finger at her, when she was speaking her OWN opinion. Also how did you come to the conclusion that everyone posting are police officers? Maybe you people should go take a long hard look in the mirror before you decide to degrade someone without any knowledge! Can anyone be adults or do you all need to act like a bunch of school grade children? Oh ex-NIPD officers no longer have NIPD badges. "

Still waiting wrote on Jan 17, 2008 11:44 AM:

No they dont know every muderer or drug dealer. but what about OUR POLICE that arrest the drug dealers and keep the drugs!!!!!! Those are the ones that put their "life on the line"?..yeah right! Now they are some that are deicated to what they do but some are just a joke. "

Thank you again for showing your love of police corruption. Your controlling personality disorder and nasty temper causing you to again write things you can't prove. Your lies can no longer hurt the innocent. Don't bother denying...nobody on forum believes any of your "leach" lies anymore. "

" With all the negative comments on here it looks like all people have to do is find something wrong and harp on it. Thats all you hear about is the bad that the IPSO does. Well my guess is no one is perfect and as you say cops are real people, therefore they do make mistakes. If half of you actually had to deal with the public and all their BS everyday maybe you would have a different outlook on things. Lets call your boss and see if you perform 100% all the time...I DOUBT!!! "

As Iberia Parish citizens, I wonder what worries us more? wrote on Jan 17, 2008 5:44 AM:

" A. Common thugs who were raised to hate but have no power
OR
B. Somewhat educated local police thugs posting criminal threats on this webpage because they don't like our freedom of speech and complaints.

Answer is "B" because only police thugs who hate have power to commit their criminal forum threats of falsely arresting law abiding people who complain by "putting them in jail and throwingawaykey", "spitting in their faces", "slapping their mouths"; thereby breeding something far worse than common thugs......a criminal policeforce abusing their power and violating our rights when things don't go their way!

It’s these cops that give the whole a bad name. That is what these people are complaining about. "

" You're the biggest forum crybaby of them all with your stinky diarrhea of the keyboard about Sid's administration and honest citizen complaints. You're just a bitter ex-deputy because citizens complained about your bad attitude. Your hate and negativity for the honest citizens with complaints stinks up all your crybaby comments. Sid's administration tried to get deputies with bad attitudes like yours to respect the honest citizens, but you are just to stupid and selfish to get it! Go take some Imodium-D. Ackal doesn't want your bad attitude either. "

" As another former deputy I can say you hit the nail on the head. People don't realize officers put their life on the line everytime they put on their badge. They call for help but when it goes bad they want to holler about the officers. "

" Another "thank you" for the wonderful letter of support for the hard-working police officer. Last week a car pulled out in front of a motorcycle on Briarwood dr. and within 5 minutes there were 3 police cars responding. There is definitely protection in the city. "

" Thank you so much for your support of our officers! People are SOOOO quick to critisize. Thank you for pointing out that these men and women are doing their jobs to the best of their ability and deserve just as much respect as any other professional. "
