Bad Call

Let's take a moment and look at the apprehension of Mr. Russ. This issue should not even concern Dep. Jordan and Cpl. Brown. The issue at hand is the poor decision making capabilities of Sheriff Causey and his administration. This matter clearly went wrong when Mr. Russ allowed to dictate the conditions of his apprehension. This sends a message to the criminals of New Hanover County by saying, do whatever crime you want, barricade yourself in and we will allow you to turn yourself in when you are good and ready. The second issue what if Mr. Russ would have killed his ex-wife during these two days he was granted to go about his life. Sheriff Causey said that this was a serious charge, which in fact it was. But, the command staff at the Sheriff's Office must not have thought it was to serious of a charge by allowing Mr. Russ to freely roam the streets of New Hanover County. Sheriff Causey said that he accepted responsibility for the incident. If Russ would have killed his ex-wife would the Sheriff have assumed the responsibility then. Yes, he would have then. Sheriff Causey would have not necessarily wanted to assume the responsibility, but would have no other option when the law suit was filed. These clearly shows that Causey and command staff are clearly not able to make the decisions that the voters of New Hanover County thought they were able to make. These that should be disciplined are not Dep. Jordan and Cpl. Brown, but Sheriff Causey and everyone of the command staff that participated in the decision to allow Russ to dictate his apprehension. Will Causey suspend himself for a day without pay. I think not, he will not miss a days pay of his $117,000.00 salary. Sheriff Causey, how does it feel to PUNKED, because that is what has happened to you and the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office. You have made your deputies look so good in the eyes of the public. Sheriff Causey, if you take responsibility you should suspend yourself, be a man and do it.
