Muscogee Sheriff Fights Police Chief - Cops Threaten to Arrest Each Other - Gov Earning The Hate

You should give up your guns so only Gov has Guns and trust they Will Protect you.

A mid-July Muscogee County Jail crisis provoked a standoff between sheriff’s deputies and Columbus police officers so tense, a supervisor feared a fight would break out, according to police body camera recordings the Ledger-Enquirer reviewed. That standoff followed a deputy’s profanely telling police officers he would not stop to help if he saw them getting beaten on the roadside, according to the recordings,

Sheriff’s personnel pouring out of the jail to confront police officers outside. Police officers complaining of being caught in circumstances beyond their control. A 911 call that appeared to go unanswered.

The conflict started around 8:30 p.m. that Saturday, when the sheriff-run jail would not book Columbus police prisoners who were picked up in a weekend crime suppression detail coordinated with the Georgia State Patrol. The standoff ended about 2 hours later when police took their suspects from jail to Sixth Avenue and released them with court summons, despite felony charges. The dispute was born of the sheriff’s complaints that extra crime suppression operations were overwhelming his already overcrowded jail.

When Deputy Blaine Adkins arrived shortly after 9 p.m. and cut to the front of a line at the door to the booking area, where police Cpl. Christopher Snipes was among the officers waiting, police objected.

I’m trying to defuse the situation.” He told Adkins to stay in his car, but Adkins did not. Ten to 15 minutes passed as the two sides faced off. Jashinski was so focused on the deputies standing across from him that he would not look at some prisoner paperwork Officer Michael Aguillar tried to hand him. “I’m not dealing with that,” he said. “I’ve got more to do.” Arriving late, Aguillar did not know what was happening. “What’s going on?” he asked Fairbanks. “I don’t know what the f**k is going on,” Fairbanks replied. “I don’t want to be part of this, dude.” Other officers expressed similar frustrations. “We’re in the middle of a big s**t show right now,” one said. “This is as bad as it can get,” Aguillar told Fairbanks, who replied: “It’s pretty bad, dude, because that d

As mayor, Henderson also serves as the city’s public safety director, overseeing city departments such as the police, fire and emergency medical services. But he has no authority over the sheriff, who like the mayor is an elected official answering only to voters. Henderson said the July 19 meeting was intended to “just sort of reaffirm the fact that we’ve got to work together, and typically they do: Our sheriff’s department and our police department typically work very well together, looking after each other.” The sheriff will be given more advanced notice of other special operations, he said: “We do communicate with the sheriff. We need to make sure we continue to do that, so that he can make whatever arrangements he needs to make.”
