Here we go again, REACTIVE as opposed to PROACTIVE.
While its great WCSO was out there doing something, why did we have to wait for a death for the sheriff to get this going? They had plenty of time to prepare but instead of doing so, now React and we have one local life lost and another ruined.
I've always said it, Sheriff Mike needs to be Proactive and not Reactive.
Let's not forget his initial hesitation to do anything aggressive about Spring Break. It took him being shamed into understanding what the public wanted at Commissioner Commander Town Hall Meeting at Seascape.
I was eating lunch in Freeport today and witnessed what I assume were the "Black Creek Riders" being escorted by the police to David's funeral service going towards Niceville. Sad and beautiful at the same time.

.I was driving down 98 today and slowed down to 50 when I approached this intersection. I noticed that there was no deputy with his lights on, like there usually is, and just as I was passing the intersection, a truck with a big yellow decal across the back that said "Look twice for motorcycles" sped by me going at least 65.
Did you get his tag number?
I know they talked about it,but have they lowered the speed limit from 65?
This should have been a 45 mph zone since draper bridge closed...
