Author    Post   Dave Starr F L I N T O I D At the NAACP event today at Hasselbring, Walling showed up with a police officer, Clark Petrie, driving him and acting as a bodyguard. I didn't realize we had so many officers that one could be detailed to driving the mayor around & acting as a bodyguard. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.

Sat Sep 05, 2009 8:36 pm  back again F L I N T O I D i can't recall any mayors in recent flint history that didn't have protection...hmmmmmmmm. no, i can't. _________________ even a small act of goodness may be a tiny raft of salvation across the treacherous gulf of sin, but one who drinks the wine of selfishness, and dances on the little boat of meaness, sinks in the ocean of ignorance. P.Y. Sat Sep 05, 2009 10:32 pm  Elias12 F L I N T O I D I think I remember hearing that Woodrow Stanley had bodyguard (s) during his time in office. I never personally seen this but it was reported to me by several people whom I think were not making things up. Still, why have a bodyguard Dayne, if this all true. I don't have one . And I will hazard a guess I am just as much out there in the public as you are, now that you aren't pressing the flesh. It doesn't send the message I think you want to send Dayne. But this is stupid, I know Dayne won't reply to this forum . He may actually have people out there wanting to do him harm though. Who knows what some really disturbed person has in their mind? Who would have thought someone had it in for John Lennon? _________________ You fool all the people all the time,if you control the press. By pass the "offical channels" and see what is really going. Sat Sep 05, 2009 10:46 pm  twotap F L I N T O I D My favorites are all those leftist liberal antigun politicans and world leaders who try to disarm us yet have multiple armed bodyguards 24-7. Hopefully Dayne supports the 2nd ammendment. ???Anyone ever hear his views on gunownership and the success of CPLs?? _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!!

Is Wallings body guard 24/7? Didn't Williamson have police with him a lot? Sun Sep 06, 2009 8:14 am  Elias12 F L I N T O I D I never heard of Dayne's stance on the 2nd Amendment. I guess that is good that it never came up during his campaign . I suspect he is an anti -gun rights person, given his poltical party affliation and his connections to D.C. I could be wrong though;. _________________ You fool all the people all the time,if you control the press. By pass the "offical channels" and see what is really going. Sun Sep 06, 2009 7:40 pm  BAH836 F L I N T O I D "Didn't Williamson have police with him a lot?" He did more than have police with him a lot. He formed his own squad which was known as the Citizens Servive Bureau. "At the NAACP event today at Hasselbring, Walling showed up with a police officer, Clark Petrie, driving him and acting as a bodyguard. I didn't realize we had so many officers that one could be detailed to driving the mayor around & acting as a bodyguard." I'm going to make the assumption the officer in question, "Clark Petrie," was actually Carl Petrich. Carl Petrich is the president of Flint's African American Police League (AAPL). Walling having the president of Flint's AAPL attend a NAACP event with him is probably an attempt to bolster support in the black community. Also, the last I knew, Petrich was not currently a member of the Community Policing Unit, so his presence is most likely political.

Tue Sep 08, 2009 10:02 pm  twotap F L I N T O I D That sounds racist to me. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!! Barack Hussein Obama--- multiple times.

I got it from someone that was at the event who was told that the name was Petrie. In any event, when police officers are a scarce resource, should the mayor have an officer assigned for his security? _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.

Wed Sep 09, 2009 8:01 am  back again F L I N T O I D have not officers always been assigned security? i guess the glass will alway be half empty for some. _________________ even a small act of goodness may be a tiny raft of salvation across the treacherous gulf of sin, but one who drinks the wine of selfishness, and dances on the little boat of meaness, sinks in the ocean of ignorance.

I'm not sure how to feel about this one. In other cities, the city will require police presence for gatherings such as these, but the organization foots the bill, not the taxpayers. If the officer was acting strictly as the mayor's bodyguard and I was paying for it then I'd probably have a problem with it.

May be true or may not be true, but just because something has always been done doesn't necessarily make it the right choice. Wed Sep 09, 2009 11:30 pm  back again F L I N T O I D well.......i'd personally prefer my mayor to have security. wouldn't you? _________________ even a small act of goodness may be a tiny raft of salvation across the treacherous gulf of sin, but one who drinks the wine of selfishness, and dances on the little boat of meaness, sinks in the ocean of ignorance.
