In the next lesson, I learned the former Buncombe County Sheriff continues to be in hot water. Since nary a day passes that some imbroglio over corruption in law enforcement in Asheville and Buncombe County is not published, an idiot, such as I, would wonder what mighty crime ring is trying to rattle effective policing. One reads of those entrusted with protecting the rights of citizens stealing those rights for some kind of power trip. If the police go after a bad guy, it is the low-hanging fruit, like the guy stoned on weed. It feels weird, in fact, to read a story about a threat to society being taken off the streets.
A more enlightened person would surely understand that the police force was using the newspaper to look weak to throw the criminals off-base, which means they accepted the bait the criminals threw at them giving the false impression they would be thrown off base by signals of a demoralized police force, but then the newspaper applied its share of intentional and unintentional agendas. It takes a More at Four graduate to understand the interactions of the various interests and know whether the unpaired spin nets to the left or to the right.
