Northern Michigan Sheriff Vents, Asking People to Stop Doing Stupid Stuff
We're all busy and there are not simply enough hours in the day to get it all done.
Being the head of a law enforcement agency is no different, apparently, so one Northern Michigan sheriff had an idea: He went on Facebook and asked people to stop doing stupid stuff for a couple of months, in order to give his people a chance to catch up.
Oh, if it were only that simple.
Michael Bitnar is the sheriff of Chippewa County. His online plea began:
"Due to the overwhelming work load on our local Law Enforcement here in Chippewa County, I would ask you to please give us the opportunity to catch up. We need a few months with NO criminal activity or emergencies to respond to."
Bitnar went on to outline the time-consuming criminal activity that needs to stop:
