im defending myself for crying out loud. why are you guys being so mean? i have been called a liar from how many people here and that there is more to this story etc, etc.. my husbands character was attacked by retwyocop in that he must have “serious issues”. all i was saying is that i thought baldwin was a nice place and i was disappointed in the reason given—that is it. i can only go by what the chief told my husband. bystander wants everyone to believe i wrote a “profanity laced” e-mail to him–which is not true. again sawman i could care less if you know who i am–that is why i am using my real name… unlike everyone else. this is my last comment….im tired of trying to open some type of dialouge with a bunch of negative people. im not the one the started with the downright character attacks. if you look at my first blog, i was praising the people of baldwin and was just disappointed in the chiefs decision that he gave my husband—it probably would of been more professional if he just would of said “things wont work out” instead of actually giving him the reason that he did. my first impression of baldwin has definitely changed—thanks for the insight. TRUCE—i give up.
profanity laced? one word isnt “profanity laced” –again you being dramatic, mental or just a liar. and what is your definition of profanity—wasnt even that bad of a word. dont be such a baby. and your right you dont know the facts but you are the one that gave your 2 cents worth 3 days later. so you should of moved on days ago—this story was old news until you brought it up! i could care less but when someone i know keeps letting me know another blog has been posted—i have to look—so now why dont you drop it.
and dont be so dramatic bystander—not moving to baldwin is not going to cause us to not go on with our lives. baldwin had more significance to me than just my husband working there—my grandpa grew up in baldwin so i thought it would be nice to live there–guess i was wrong.
okay bystander—your suspicious of me?? i am the only one using my real name here. what is so hard to believe that in my origional e-mail all i wanted to do was express my disappointment in not being able to move to baldwin due to we liked it a lot and it was unfortunate that we would not be able to due to the beliefs of an immature cop that doesnt want to work with my husband due to differences that my husband had with his father in law. the chief TOLD my husband that! im not just making that up and its a stupid reason—is all im saying. if it was because of a background check—my husbands boss(the sheriff), his last boss ( the chief) his Lt and his Sgt and his last Lt. etc. would of been called and they were not! it was because of a petty reason! and you better believe i wil sound bitter when people like retwyocop try to make the city of baldwin believe that my husband is a bad person with “serious issues” and then says a poor 14 year employee will be a bad employee for baldwin too—that was out of line and mean and slamming his character. my e-mails were over until retwyocop had to go on a whole different level as well as you too bystander.
also retwyocop– you revealing you are from wyoming gave me a clue–are you related to the father in law in question?? if so you should realize by now that he probably isnt being so truthful as to why he was forced to resign in the first place and even so the fallout that occurred was not my husbands decision. my husband was in a bad position and was forced to investigate a co-worker of his. the findings of the investigation was not just due to my husband—give me a break. if you are not who i think you are—then disregard above comment.
disgruntled wife?? well maybe i am but its more than that sir. what is right is right and what is wrong is wrong and the reason the chief gave my husband is petty. i agree with you in your comment that a chief would have to be out of his mind not to hire a cop with 14 yrs experience and you shouldnt assure anyone that a chief would not hire an applicant based on percieved issues that a cop has due to his father in law because that is exactly what happened and that is the reason the chief gave to my husband. i am not some crybaby wife that is going to whine about my poor hubby not getting a job if it was a good reason. i do take great offense with you making accusations that my husband had serious issues and that is why he didnt get the job and that his background check wasnt good. well lets see–what background check was even done? my husband did check with people at garden city that would of been called in a background investigation and they advised that they never talked with anybody from baldwin. he worked for police dept for 10-11 yrs and was a sergeant and then went to sheriff dept. about 2 yrs.ago. the sheriff office recruited him as well as a baldwin police officer that used to work with my husband also called my husband in reference to the opening in baldwin. that is how my husband got interested in going to baldwin in the first place. he was contacted by a baldwin police officer—my husband was his sergeant when he worked in garden city. he knows my husband and obviously respected him enough to want to work with him again. that is what i am saying, my husband is a respected cop and a good person and please do not question his integrity. the chief also told a couple of people at baldwin how impressed he was with my husband so maybe the chief is just intimidated by good cops with experience. i know you say you are police commander and it is obviouly hard for you to believe that the reason given as to why my husband didnt get the job is not the real reason. but i can assure you that is the reason and that is why i felt the need to express myself—because it is absolutely ridicuolous. if the reason that my husband didnt get the job was because of a bad background—believe me that would of made sense to me and would of been understandable and a lot easier to swallow than the petty reason that was given by the chief to my husband. i was home when the chief called my husband and even with my husband getting the bad news and the stupid reason as to why he didnt get hired, my husband remained calm and proffesional just like he always is. obviously where you come from you know about good leadership and probably are a good leader as well if you can see the absurdity in all this. but just because you know about good leadership doesnt mean the chief of baldwin does.
