Melo, 69, was investigating reports of a marijuana farm along the Noyo River in the heart of pot country, authorities said. ok, that is NOT his job... that is what the COPS are for
he was neither trained to deal with nor was he armed to deal with clandestine growers
what happens when the cops are the ones involved in growing?
I'd say that's what the National Guard is for.
Actually it was his job. He was private security for the timber company that owned the land.
Actually, it WAS his job. According to the article, “Melo, a forest land manager, was killed Saturday while he and a co-worker were patrolling forestland on foot in a rugged area of timber land just outside town.”
In these small towns, mayor is not a fulltime job.
“Melo, 69, was investigating reports of a marijuana...”
what its called is failure of the employees of We the People...the local law enforcement, DEA etc....
