Wellford Mayor Sallie Peake Defends No Chase Policy

Probably because most of her officers are obese black and hispanic women courtesy of affirmative action policies.

You should see the 42 percent hispanic police officers now lumbering around Los Angeles. I saw a pair at McDonalds the other day who could hardly squeeze out of their car.

The PD has hired nothing but hispanics for about 10 years now. You should see these guys, all about 50 pounds overweight at 25 and 75 pounds overweight at 30. Their sheer mass might help them subdue a suspect, but I can’t see them running much or jumping a fence or climbing stairs to a 3rd floor apartment, or even getting out of their cars fast enough to catch a suspect.

Their obesity will of course entitle them to retirement around 45 with full salary on the grounds of their diabetes, blood pressure, heart and vascular problems blown out knees, hips and backs, foot problems and other problems caused by their obesity.

There is an old conspiracy method on how to conquer a country without warfare. One of the stages in the conquest is to see to it that only the incompetent and unfit are appointed to government offices.

Can you imagine the 911 disptchers in the future.

“Could you ask the suspect to wait for police to arrive?”

“Stop, or I shall be forced to say Stop again!”

I don’t buy the excuse that it’ll save insurance money. The reason is that fleeing suspects on foot will be to blame for any damages caused in the chase; no random selection of 12 people in South Carolina’s upcountry would find for the suspect. Therefore, insurance costs would not decrease, because insurance costs are based on risk of use.

The reason is race. She doesn’t like white cops arresting black suspects.

Amazing, I wonder what they will think after this video makes them a laughing stock, it could cost her the next election, or it could solidify her support among her base.

I just finished watching the video and think it’s great.

I wish the whole world could watch a borderline imbecile attempt to organize and arrange the impulses masquerading as thoughts that originated in the cavity that a brain is supposed to occupy and then listen to the resultant muddled mess of Afro-verbiage that is the end result.

“I didn’t say nothing about a crime.”
“…and (the police chief) know exactly what I mean…”
“You got you a story, thank God!”

I think at the very least our weave-wearing public officials ought to be able to link subject to predicate in a simple declarative sentence. Don’t you?

I could tell this woman was black from that last comment in the article (I guess I’m slow…the way she talks all the way through is a dead giveaway.)

Looks like they are now using AA in mayoral elections, no? How else can one explain this kind of incompetence and lack of respect for honest questioning?

This black female mayor is a classic example of incompetent mentality. Who ever heard of a superior ordering police officers not to pursue suspects on foot? This is not only dumb, it’s beyond belief!

Wellford, SC is right next door to the city of Spartanburg notorious for it’s high crime rates. “Sparkleburg” as many local whites like to call it is heavily black, but then again the state itself is thirty percent black anyway.

We were even treated to some black theatrics by the mayor. The reporter should be greatful though that it wasn’t a northern black female because he might have had to physically defend himself as they are quite confrontational.

Then towards the end of the video her southern sensibilities must have taken hold and proceeded to politely insult the reporter to his face with that “bless your heart stuff”.

Lots of examples down here at local and county levels, there’s just too many of em’ after all, it’s the south- nuff said.

The poor woman should be checked into a mental hospital ASAP.
I wonder what the town’s books look like? I’m not saying she stole any money or anything, although i don’t rule anything out. I’m saying that if she’s in charge, the books aren’t in order. I’m not big on IQ, but her IQ is hovering somehwere around idiot.

Tom Iron…

After viewing the video, I am afraid that this female is quite far around the bend.

The hate in her eyes, the stretched caricature of a smile with cold fury in her face. The repeating of “God Bless You.” when the meaning is plain (God Damn You) say it all. She was a thread away from going after his face with her fingernails.

Whew.

I’m assuming she was voted into office by whites who felt so all warm and fuzzy by electing a black mayor, even though she’s obviously so imbecillic she can’t seem to understand the ramifications of her actions.

If whites DID vote her in, then they deserve what they got. I hope she stays in office and makes other decisions just as idiotic, and the unfavorable repercussions that will come from her ineptitude disproportionately effects the whites who supported her.

I attemped to watch the video of the Channel 7 news reporter’s interview with Sallie Peake, but due to some computer issues it was broken up and exhausted my patience. But I USED TO BE well grounded in the demographics and political/cultural sensibilties of the people of Upstate South Carolina from a prior career that involved extensive business travel in that region from 1990 until 2002. Now, from this computer keyboard it truly boggles my mind how this third rate caricature of Maxine Waters ever advanced beyond dog catcher for the Municipality of Wellford, SC.

So basicallY go hit the gym for a few months and get your sprinting and long distance running up to par and voila!

You can rob with near impunity in Wellford, South Carolina.

I see this ending well =)

Wow! I just watched the video and I’m floored. I’ve seen some incompetent and unreasonable behavior from Blacks in power before, but this tops them all. I think that this woman is borderline retarded. How the hell did she become mayor?

Here’s a good clip from the Michael Savage radio show where he slams Mayor Peake and Mark Lloyd. He accurately notes that because of affirmative action Lloyd was hired over whites who were 50 times smarter.

Couldnt be any further from the truth. This has nothing to do with race, this has to do with the city being 50% black and they voted in someone they knew would give them whatever they want.

This woman seriously needs to be beaten with a clue bat, and whoever does it can then run like the wind, seeing the police are now prohibited from chasing criminals.

If they can’t chase people that run… more people will run?

If this former Indianapolis Police Officer were not currently doing time, he would be a candidate for Wellford’s Chief of Police. While with the IPD, he wasn’t too interested in pursuits.

I would love to see a major insurance company tell its policy holders in this town that if the police are not allowed to do their jobs, then we will not renew auto or homeowners insurance. Let one or two insurance companies do this and watch the story go national. Who knows, this idiot woman might be backed into a corner and have to reverse policy. Then again, demanding competence might be construed as “rayciss”.

Although I only have a basic grasp of American politics, I understand that a Mayor is elected by the people from a group of candidates offering their services for the position. May I then assume that other candidates in this case were less lucid, more patronising, less knowledgeable and forthcoming than this incumbent who appears to be mentally challenged. Could it be that Mayor Peake was pulled at random from a crowd of complainants outside some fast-food outlet demanding their money back on the grounds that their coffee was too hot or something equally trivial. The video was amazing and surely will lead to queues of reporters attempting to better this Kafkaesque response to a few simple clarification questions and just has to be prime ‘YouTube’ material. Pity there was no mention whatsoever about the nature of these injuries and how come they resulted in paying out insurance compensation although $20,000 per annum does not seem to be excessive for an entire city-wide work force, not just police. Miscreants leaving a crime scene at anything faster than a gentle trot will have a field day and defence lawyers can always claim their clients were only caught because the arresting officers disobeyed the Mayoral injunction and so move to have the case dismissed!

Under Obamacare, Sallie Peake could be your next “specialist.”

She would not even be a good dog catcher because she would not chase the dogs!!
Well… maybe if it were a white dog.

Reading the original article and listening to the interview, “I know you’re going to editor this.”….Tells you all you need to know.

Yesterday I got a pre-registration call from a hospital asking for information about a test my husband is scheduled for. It went like this: “I need to axe you a couple questions,” (snip)
“He doesn’t have any metal clips or a pacemaker, do he?”

I always stop them and pointedly repeat what they ask me, using their words and then say, “AXE?? Oh, you mean ASK.” And, “DO HE?? Oh, you mean DOES he?? No, he DOESN’T.”

We’ve come to just ignore their ghetto-speak showing their ignorance, which is the opposite of what we should be doing.This pseudo-mayor is a laughing stock, and will be ridiculed out office if only by the local police at next election.

The actual qualifications for these black officials around America is mind numbing. You will never convince me these people are elected to office on abilities, more than likely they are token blacks (now overwhelmingly more than tokens), elected by low intellect blacks and hispanics and fool whites.

She is a perfect example, obama’s people are just as inept but at a higher level.

I too, just finished the video. I cannot believe this idiot is the mayor. But then, considering all things, the policy is mandated protects the criminals. I would be willing to bet the majority of crime commited in her town is commited by minorities. She is protecting her own, and to Hell with public safety. If these people honestly elected this crank, they deserve what the get.

Those qualifications are only important to whites. Blacks look for swagger, sassiness, and above all sticking it to the man.

Competency is the last thing on their mind. In fact I think they ENJOY seeing some bumbling, erratic, lunatic black in charge, Marrion Barry, Kwame Killpatrick, this mayor here etc so they can live the good life vicariously through their local tribal chief wallowing in corruption and flaunting their wealth and privilege.

Cops seldom chase anybody on foot. That`s what the dog is for. Weighed down with about 20 pounds of sexy and mostly useless gear, most cops give out after about 75 yards,even the few who are in shape. This will end up in more shootings, even a black teenager can`t out run a 12 guage shot gun slug.
Car chases have been out dated since the radio was invented. Helicopters, infra red seekers, chasing some scared kid 100 mph because he is out after curfew is just about as stupid as you can get. Most high speed chases involve folks fleeing because they have a suspended driver`s liscense.
Every cell phone has a camera. Nobody gets away very often. Old cops always say the same thing. We will catch him next time. Dressing up like Gestapo and SS guards and tearing down the road is far more dangerous to the public then letting some car thief go.

But if car chases aren’t allowed, then all anyone needs to do to avoid apprehension is to hit the accelerator. If their legal troubles are only curfew or suspended license, then it makes no sense for them to flee because the avoiding/eluding crime is way more serious than either ticky tack curfew or license.

As for me, I had the pleasure to going through a citizens style mini-police academy in St. Louis several years ago. Those in our group were even allowed to use the St. Louis Academy’s firearms/scenario simulator. Not that I wasn’t aware of it before, but the whole thing was a great teaching lesson. I came away with the realization that when I’m involved in something with a cop, I make life as easy as possible for the cop.

I’ll have to disagree with you Charles/#27. Cops do chase people on foot. How often can vary considerably depending on the agency and the environment. Most small town cops don’t do it very often. At the other extreme is an agency like the Border Patrol, where foot chases are a daily if not hourly occurrence. Spending most of your time sitting in a squad car is not conducive to maintaining a high degree of fitness. Neither are onerous shift work and lots of job stress, as much from management as from the street thugs. And you’re right about all the stuff on your belt. Even a young fit officer is starting the race with at least ten extra pounds of gear and trying to overcome the advantages held by a (typically) young suspect with a big shot of arenaline fueling him. Yep a bullet is faster than a runner, but you can’t shoot someone just because they’re running.
As for this joke of a mayor-I see that Wellford has a population under 3,000 and is about half black. Probably safe to say they can only afford a few officers, who get the minimum of training and equipment. Agencies that don’t offer much don’t exactly get the pick of the litter in applicants.
This pathetic idiot of a mayor is probably one of the few who ran for the office, and maybe all the town could get. And as noted in other comments, she may be what the town wants, and possibly even what they deserve. It may be that there is some justification to her concerns about officers being out on disability; if you only have two officers, losing one reduces your manpower by 50%. Or maybe she just wants to hamstring the po-leese.But in any case, a police officer takes an oath to protect the public. Pursuit, whether by vehicle or afoot, is implied in the duties. No-pursuit policies adopted by many agencies have evolved because of poor judgement on the part of some officers (nothing new) and some relatively new very counter-productive legal decisions that have discouraged pursuit, even under the most justified circumstances.

A perfect summation of how the average black thinks. I’d also add racially obnoxious, such as Ray Nagin and his “chocolate city” comment (though your “sassy” might cover that).

Reading the first part of this article, I assumed that someone at AmRen had screwed up and put a story from The Onion on the site.

….Then I got to the interview, and it all clicked horribly into place.

I really don’t even blame Mayor Peake. You can’t get mad at a snake for crawling on its belly. the real villians are the cretins who put this woman in office.
