Sheriff Grady is a hoot. He is on the local TV news just about every night, talking about the last epic crime in Polk County. He is very pro-gun, pro-self defense.

Yep, my kind of Sheriff. We are currently trying to out our current Sheriff who is too wishy-washy about the Safe Act here in NY.

I remember this. That was a classic response.

Grady Judd That's my sheriff.
A friend who's husband is a retired police chief back home up in the north east talked to my wife this morning about Grady.
He is very well known back home.

I enjoyed the Sheriff's press conference.

The Sheriff & Deputies are OK by me.
For those who do Facebook, look up the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and read the unique blotter notes.


Less is more.

My old hometown (Winter Haven) sheriff. He's loved by the good folks of Polk County. No so much by the criminals. He's relentless. A great guy and a great sheriff for Polk County. What Archie said. Their facebook page is hilarious!

Not to stray from the general vibe here, but has anyone seen any outrage from the leftist media? I wonder, why oh why that might not be happening?

Well, there’s outrage from the suspect’s outraged family. In addition to the usual comments about their loved one’s killing being unjustified, it’ll be interesting to see how his obituary reads.

This is where the glowing summary of his life will be:

But of course; they will be looking for remuneration to compensate the years of usefulness as a provider. I'm speaking of the self righteous media decrying a life cut short by evil firearms, and also by excessive force by an uncaring and heavy handed police agency (somewhat prematurely, as the shooter is not yet a sworn officer). It just feels like there is a component missing to garner a reaction from said media...can't put my finger on it...

The Old Rancher often taught that “life is hard when you’re an asshole.” Apparently sometimes shorter, too.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Taxi drivers (which is how I would classify Uber) are always on the list of most dangerous professions. Guy said he had a gun and was acting aggressively. Good on the Uber driver for stepping up and protecting himself and his passenger.

This is also an excellent example of why dash cams in cars aren't a bad idea. The video doesn't lie.

I wish we had more CLEO like him in the Bay Area. Most counties around here the sherrif is such a political hack. I won’t even go into what SF county elected as a sheriff a few years back. I have to think the deputies actually enjoy working for him becuse they know he has their back. I like his blunt no BS answers to to the media.

I think if I was driving for Uber I’d have several cams running. Overt and covert. Just as a CYA

I'm a little disappointed reading this thread. I saw a bit of the press conference on TV and my first thought was this Sheriff sounds a lot like the Sheriff from Polk County a few years back. Then I thought I hope there's more Florida Sheriffs just like these two. Not until I read the thread does it dawn on me it's the same Polk County Sheriff.
