It would be nice to see some of you stand up for the officer's at the Hattiesburg Police Department. Since the new chief stepped in, Hattiesburg has lost around 47 officers because of the same bulldozing attitude that Thames has. It is amazing that 2 professor's that make $75,000 + yearly, can have such a huge group to support them but the officer's who put their lives on the line daily for the little they make have none. We are loosing some great men to support our city and it is time something is done.
Friend, this board has a limited scope, and those on it have a defined purpose. May I respectfully suggest you find another venue for your situation? And may I also add that we do value and appreciate our police very much.

Viking, if you are interested in establishing your own internet community, please email me and I will give you some pointers. Perhaps a message board for the police officers would be in order, and it's really not difficult to set up.
I do empathize with the police men and women who are being fired. Best wishes in your endeavor.
I responded to this the first time, so here we go again. If somebody is breaking into my house, I will not be calling the nearest English professor, ok? Nobody underestimates the value of our police and fire officers, who put it on the line for us everyday. One HB cop I know has been called up for military service, like many others, so he's protecting us in yet another way. But this board is about the situation at USM, and we try to keep it limited to that. So if we don't jump into the middle of your situation, that does not mean we are indifferent or uncaring, it just means this is not the place.

And, with this, this thread is officially closed. Thanks, LVN.
