Evidence that the police dept sought McMichaels to help in the policing of his neighborhood is damning indeed, to the average citizen on the street. It is further evidence of the "good ole boys mentality" and reinforces the "Corrupt Southern Sheriff" stereotype.
One can almost hear McMichaels on the phone with local police, "Yep, you just leave to me, Boss. I'll get them suns of beeches for yu."
This is one text the local Police Dept wishes had never come to light. It is more than a bit embarrassing for the local citizens to see just how incompetently and corruptly their Police Dept and DA's office has been run.
