Can we play the politics card here? With Jon David dismissing the charges because Barnes met the deferred prosecution and Jon being the Chief's neighbor did you really think anything else would happen? They all agreed to this. You must be sticking your head in the sand. I'm sure Barnes will become one of the mass of good ole boys real soon. Supporting the lack of caring within the Police Department and yes even the town government. And to answer the question at the time Barnes was not a supporter and of course now he is. Go figure.
