"The Haymarket Smoking Gun"

Stop bashing the PD, you're not perfect either!!!

Haymarket Police Department

Why are you people bashing the police department so badly? Some residents like the Police Department. The PD was one of the reasons I moved to the area in June 2005. Come on people, you're not perfect either. Geez!!

Not bashing but............

Accidently hit the alert button at my job in town last night. Took 15 minutes for anyone to show up.... Good thing it was an accidental alert. Can't imagine the outcome if it had been a real emergency.

No one is bashing the PD!!!

The PD is not the issue! Everyone I know wants a PD. The problem is the LEADERSHIP (or lack thereof) at the PD. People are bashing Roop and his sub par performance, not the PD. How can anyone honestly say that he has done an acceptable job over the past year?

The facts are the 2 Top Cops

The facts are the 2 Top Cops in Haymarket cannot be responsible for the ones who break the law. How can we allow people that have been arrested (and pled guilty) run for Council or their friends run for Mayor. I'm sorry to say it but we got the best for the money in the Police Dept. Why anyone would want to be a Haymarket Cop is beyond me..minimal money, poor benefits, and so on. I appreciate the dedication these officers have shown over the years. It's obvious they must be doing the job for the community as they really don't get much else.

Lets Talk about those lil ole facts

Fact 1 - The two Haymarket cops in Town have broken the law several times over the years. That will soon be shown to everyone.

Fact 2 - The only ones I know that have been "ARRESTED" so far is several members on your Town boards already in place. We will not mention them by name because they haven't been on here acting foolish.

Fact 3 - Bob Weir has leaked information to the press about personnel issues.

Fact 4 - Bob Weir and the Mayor has covered up illegal activity of several employees of the Town. This has already been seen......

Fact 5 - The Town citizens are paying for two officers to drive their assigned vehicles home and wherever else they wish to go because they are said to "be on call" in case of an emergency.

Fact 6 - Mayor Stutz stated that serious issues such as sexual harrasment should not be reported, "as Town policy directs them to do so", instead those issues should be handled in the "Christian Way". -- Think she forgot about that lil seperation thing ---

Fact 7 - Bob Weir along with John Cole tried to intimidate the Commonwealth Attorney in Fairfax, as a council member of the Town of Haymarket, to make her prosecute Officer Hoffman for the charges that were being dismissed against him. Bob Weir advised her that she was not "Helping Their Cause any by dismissing the charges against Hoffman".

Fact 8 - The Town council fired Hoffman for a violating policy after they were upset that they could no longer use the charges in Fairfax against him. "Bob Weir's recomendation"

Fact 9 - Chief Roop did call officer Hoffman's wife at home and tell her that she should sleep with him because he was the "CHIEF" as she must be tired of sleeping with a "peon officer". He further stated that if she did sleep with him as he was the "CHIEF" that her husband might get promoted.

Fact 10 - When the Town council was told about fact 9 above they stated that it was just a joke and since alcohol was being consumed at the time then it was ok for him to represent himself as the "CHIEF". -- No action taken --

I have several more facts yet to tell.... Let me know if I should Keep going....

keep going...

I find it interesting that you are new to this site (at least by this screen name)and yet have so much information to share, do tell more.

?

"pled guilty run for council and friends run for mayor?" what does one have to do with the other?

JustDaFacts - Needs a new Name

Once again I will repeat myself - You're not too smart!

No one pled guilty. As a matter of fact, this is the first time I have seen a case set aside where the defendant pled NOT GUILTY. Now I see why you think you got the best 2 police officers for the money!! LOL!!

I got some swamp land in FL for sale if you are interested.

Just remember - Always on Guard

Qualifications

To be named the Chief of Police does one have to go through the police academy, or is it like being a sheriff where you can be elected on your merit?

I think it just takes a

I think it just takes a nightstick and a red neck

But for his defense. If I were a convict, I'd be scared of a redneck with a nightstick.
