I have to say, the HSPD has always been wonderful to me. From traffic stops to reporting thefts they have always been there and been fair and just. Just last night a woman put something into the gas tank of my pickup truck (no I don't know her) along with other peoples vehicles....called them up today and they sent a very kind well mannered young man and he was happy to assist me. He also gave me some helpful tips on ways to keep my property safe. I would like to thank them for their time, patience, and hard work. Keep us the good work!! ? ? ?

HSPD is great, had to deal with those guys multiple times and never had any issues. Just stay on the right side of the law )
Feedback:
Never bothered to even look into my cases. I was robbed of my life savings. I, myself, searched for and found the the thief, and waited for them to show up. I'm not the only one I know who has had this issue. Utter waste of taxpayer money.

I wrote this open letter to the Sentinel Record, of Hot Springs, AR, their journalist Steven Mross, and Deputy Prosecutor Trent Daniels.On February 26, 2019 you published a story, ‘Local heroin dealer sentenced to 20 years in prison’. This was a terrible piece of racist, fear-mongering journalism I hope you’re truly ashamed of. I want to bring a few points to your attention.1. You villainized a man without looking into his story or even speaking to him. Do you truly believe he is just something to write about but not worthy of speaking to? Do you not see him as an individual who should be respected enough to at least be heard? Are you too important to be bothered with considering the prospective of an incarcerated man?2. Deputy Prosecutor Trent Daniels, "We wanted to send a message we're not going to tolerate that". But you didn't think the three white people in the car would set an example? The three white 'heroin dealers' weren't a threat to society, but the only black person there was? You didn't think to bring this up?3. Why did you not elaborate on the fact this crime was done in 2015, yet the police didn’t find any hurry to lock him up for over three years. They didn’t see him as a threat for three years, but now he needs to be in prison for 20 years? How come YOU were in such a hurry to brag about getting this black ‘heroin dealer’ off the streets but didn’t bring up the fact they have allowed him to go free this entire time? Obviously, you didn't consider him much of a threat. Or you don't really care about public safety.4. You looked at his pictures, and built a story to match the demographic. The way he was portrayed is divisive and racist. You portray him as a leader in moving heroin, but you don’t mention he’s never had a drug charge and was sober when he was arrested.5. I understand your job isn’t to discuss how he has an 8th grade education. But your job is to tell the truth, and you also did not do that. You didn’t learn both sides to the story, you didn’t care about what his side of the story was. You didn't talk about his stellar full time work record, that he's a devoted father or the hours he's donated volunteering in our community. You wanted to make everyone feel safe thinking this black man is off the streets, failing to mention the other people in the vehicle, including the driver with previous drug charges are happily filling your community with heroin.6. I am not saying you, Steven Mross and the Sentinel Record, are racist. I am saying you’re to blame for the racism in our communities. Your writing is racist and divisive and an example of the way black men with criminal histories are repeatedly dehumanized. Your article treats a human being as if he deserved less than justice. You may be another example of someone who says they aren’t racist, but you put racism into society when you portray Luther, a man I have served turkey with on Thanksgiving, a man who was at my wedding, as nothing more than another black man to be scared of.I don’t think this will change you. I truly doubt you will even care. But I want you to know people do notice when you create narratives of division and racism. You should be ashamed for what you have done because it will never be undone. His daughters will always see your article. He will have your racist portrayal of him follow him, for the rest of his life. You did that.

I have had alot of interaction with the HSPD since the 1990's. I have been arrested more than once almost all of it stupid petty stuff. When I was polite and cooperative, they were very nice, when I wasn't they were as nice as they could be. Regardless, THEY WERE JUST DOING THEIR JOBS. Now that I'm old and fat I fall into the category that most Americans do, wouldn't survive very long in a world without police officers. If you think otherwise, you're probably full of s**t. The last time I drank 4 years ago, I was in jail in Minnesota with a Somali. I spent a whole day asking him questions and listening to answers. There are no police there. There are no children there. They go from babies to little men and women. The children die. Let me repeat that THE CHILDREN DIE. Is that the kind of world you want to live in? Talk to someone born in Somalia or someplace just like it. And by the way, 4 years no alcohol and 2 years no hard drugs have equaled no interaction with the police. Maybe I make alot less stupid decisions that negatively affect society. Hmmmm.
