Reading the newspaper this morning, I realize the problems we have in Perry County with state police investigations (or lack thereof) is not unique. It is a shame that the organization founded to deal with corruption in local and county governments is no longer interested in enforcing the law.
The situation I refer to is the issue in Prescott, Arkansas. Curly Wolves aren't the only thing howling down south. It appears that local Sam Tilden's are working to expose a corrupt mayor that sounds much like the corrupt actors in our very own county. They even offered photographic and video evidence of corruption to the state police and can't get a real investigation.
Maybe the local state police have become too much part of the system. Maybe they are bought and paid for like so many law enforcement officers. Once, the ASP was a noble force protecting citizens in the state.
Sounds eerily familiar to those who have been on the front lines of fighting corruption.
