I supported Sheriff Morgan in the last election and so did my neighbor. Even had signs in our yards. This week my neighbor asked me if an election were held today would I vote for Morgan again. I didn't answer because I didn't know if I should or if I should tell him the truth. Before I could answer he said Nevermind you don't have to answer but I'm telling you I wouldn't. And neither would my buddies. (My neighbor is an old retired military guy) He said the last couple of months Morgan has acted like he has lost every bit of good sense he ever had. I laughed at that comment.
And then he asked me something interesting. He asked if I thought Sheriff Morgan was aware how bad things had gotten for him during the last several months. He said he couldn't understand it because Morgan was a likeable guy and had it together during his first term but for some reason he isn't doing so well in his second term. He went on to name his disagreements with the County Commissioners and the Jail. He used the term childish. Now the officer shootings and the dog killings and now it appears as if he wants to pick a fight with the black community. I told him there were two sides to every story and the media was quick to point out wrongdoing when they didn't know all of the facts. He then proceeded to inform me the Sheriff wasn't doing a good job at speaking for his officers and defending them. I silently agreed with my neighbor.
This conversation got me to thinking. Do you think Sheriff Morgan lays awake in bed at night wondering why everyone has turned on him and he isn't feeling praise and applause that he did during the past 4 years? Do you think he wonders where it all went wrong? I personally think Sheriff Morgan has a rather large ego that needs to be stroked and the negative attention he has been getting lately must not be very comforting to him.
