SHERIFF: Joint SWAT dissolution a mistake

I was sorry to hear that sheriff Norris shot himself in the foot along with all the other people in Kootenai county. I was sorry to see the dissolution of the joint SWAT team apparently because the sheriff got his feelings hurt. I would like to think that if some deranged person is sitting on a hill shooting at our firefighters again that we could all pull together as needed. Of all the non-partisan agencies in the county, law enforcement should be the most free of politics. I voted for you Bob Norris. I am sure when you get over this petty personal grievance you will correct your mistake.
