Why do "members of this community" constantly try to prove that the officers did something wrong? No wonder people talk bad about Columbia. It's because the people in Columbia talk bad about Columbia. Makes me so mad! One of the folks on Facebook was even arrested and served time for robbery! Seriously? ! What makes you so grand? If you don't like it here, just leave! We won't miss you! Stop trying to make it seem like every one is out to get the "citizens."
Was there a comment here stating an officer did something wrong?
I don't think on here. But there were some on facebook.
I hope the comment makes it to Facebook then, where it belongs.
guess what. look to management. if theres a problem maybe its the leadership. or lack there of.
