[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1826810, member: 18945"] When I was very young, the town I grew up in had gone bankrupt decades before and had no town govt. No police and no mayor, just a VFD and, 1 black county constable in a 99% white town. That constable was good, and fair, and well respected. There were several beer joints in town, what we called driveins or ice houses and sometimes a melee would break out in their parking lots. That constable did have a gun, but he'd normally just get out of his car, pull out his stick and wade right into the crowd, break up the fight and get 'em settled down and back to their drinkng. He was good with us kids too. Always encouraged all of us to stay in school and such. I never saw him get angry and rarely even threatened anyone with arrest. His presence alone was such, that we understood what was what and what law meant back then. [/QUOTE]
