Yesterday, Gossips published Sheriff David Bartlett's statement that the Columbia County Sheriff's Office "will not be participating in the enforcement of New York State's Thanksgiving gathering restrictions." Yesterday, too, the Register-Star reported that Bartlett and Greene County Sheriff Peter Kusminsky had ''joined a group of sheriffs across the state to speak against Gov. Andrew Cuomo's 10-person limit on private gatherings": "Sheriff's speak out against Thanksgiving orders." It may not be without significance that Bartlett and Kusminsky are both Republicans.
Last evening, at the Common Council Police Committee meeting, Alderman Rebecca Wolff (First Ward) brought up Sheriff Bartlett's statement and asked Chief Ed Moore, "What's the city's plan?" After making a comment about everyone now being an expert on constitutional rights, Moore talked about "civic virtue and civic responsibility." Moore said, "It's never going to be the case that the police will knock down doors." He stressed officers will first educate people and "try to get people to comply." He reiterated, "That's our role--to try to educate people that it is their civic responsibility."

Once again, Chief Moore illustrates how lucky we are to have him at the helm of the HPD.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely. I have been so impressed with him throughout the years. He speaks of the Constitution, civic duty and civic responsibility. He has his eyes on the right thing.

ReplyDelete“The grass is always greener on the other side?”…..Replacing Ed Moore or making him feel unwanted as our Chief would be a huge mistake! He is the right man at the right time to lead our Police Department and we in the City Of Hudson are very fortunate to have him!

Both those fawning comments are pathetic. Ed Moore puts a few sentences together that don't add up to much of anything noteworthy or special, and you think he has been sent here from heaven. It's bizarre. Surely you went to high school with him and are still friends, or there is some sort of other weird ulterior motive behind your unwarranted praise in response to his ho-hum comments.
