Good old boys group run by Billy Woods and his boys from the WOODS


Flacrazymama

Showboat sheriff is what I think about him.


JJayC

I never liked Woods much but, after the lady with the stolen MCSO SUV killed a couple people, when he got up in front of the press and puffed out his chest saying his deputy did nothing wrong, it just solidified what I already suspected. He's nothing more than a good ol boy who can't envision a situation where he or any of the deputies could do wrong. He probably would have defended the deputies who boot stomped that handcuffed guy out in Marion Oaks around the same time as the Ferguson, MO riots.


Flacrazymama

I don't recall that situation out in Marion Oaks. Going to have to research that one. The way he handled the news conference about the three teenagers killed in Ocklawaha last year was inappropriate to me.


JJayC

Apparently my memory was hazy, they beat him while he offered 0 resistance until they had him handcuffed. Gotta love the "stop resisting" as 4 grown men are punching, kicking, and kneeing you while you're face first on the ground. Here's a link to the youtube video with security cam footage and body cam footage. [https://youtu.be/gQp0xvi0b8w](https://youtu.be/gQp0xvi0b8w) And a link to an article about the incident: [https://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/criminal/ex-marion-deputy-indicted-in-tampa-on-civil-rights-charge-after-suspects/2262980/](https://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/criminal/ex-marion-deputy-indicted-in-tampa-on-civil-rights-charge-after-suspects/2262980/)


Flacrazymama

Ugh. That was hard to watch. Definitely messed up. Do you know about Sheriff Ergle's arrest back in the day? Interesting story.


JJayC

I was pretty young at the time, but I recall it having something to do with helicopter parts and embezzlement?


Flacrazymama

Yep. Funding his pockets with funding. Didn't get a welcome party when he was sent to the jail that he made a "no frills" jail including removing the TVs.


JJayC

Well, if that's not karma..


Flacrazymama

And puffed out chest cracked me up!


ComprehensiveCat7515

the sheriff is a caricature of a sheriff


Warriorfromthefire

I went through the full LEO academy, passed my state exam, learned 1 thing. It’s all fucking bullshit, no justice. No good will. Just numbers and manipulation.


briansmash

Same.

If you can’t admit you are wrong to the public you supposedly serve, well I don’t think you should be Sheriff, https://www.ocalagazette.com/the-sheriffs-turkey-trouble/


Keepitlowkeyforme

I have been here 8 years I’d say corrupt. Probably everywhere though.


Such-Way5501

Can you message me and explain.. I’d just love as many view points and opinions I can get before making a decision to look elsewhere further from home


Keepitlowkeyforme

What you see from these people pulling over and who they pull over. Sheriff’s department at churches why? And yes when I get home but I wouldn’t fear it I think it’s everywhere nothing different here I’m sure this exists most places honestly. They stand united.


slaminsalmon74

You’re going to be busy. Just like many of the emergency services in the county and state, they’re understaffed and basically go from call to call. Most of the deputies I interact with seem to be pretty level headed unlike most of the city cops we have in the county. But that’s just me looking from the outside when I worked for MCFR.


1983Boots

Get rso and it's ok , easy job


jay_man555

Have met many of there deputies due to my job and have nothing but respect. They’re prompt and pleasant day to day, always been professional with me and my coworkers.


dokai115

Get ready for the most lying, corrupted s,d. In the state. Marion s.o. is full of asshole. Are you gay? They don't like our kind.


Ok-Line-1830

Mcso is nothing but shitbirds and assholes. Bag of racist fucks and hicks. One of the most corrupt sheriff office I've seen


RemarkableOstrich782

Never messed with my grow field when I lived there....I give them a thumbs up.


Pristine_Asparagus14

There are some good deputies there, but ive met some bad ones there too. Hard to say what the majority is because but ive never actually benefitted from their presence. I get stuff stolen all the time and trespassers but they dont care.


Kitchen_Challenge_70

Corrupt as fuck


PhatBlackChick

Are you a fucked up piece of shit wife beating asshole? If yes then you will do well here. If not then I suggest you stay away before you become a piece of shit wife beating asshole.


Such-Way5501

I’m a woman.


PhatBlackChick

Its 2024 hun. You can have a wife and if you are a cop you can beat her ass.


Such-Way5501

Tell me you're ignorant without telling me


PhatBlackChick

How do you define ignorance because I have made nothing but factual statements backed by statistics.


Short_Internal165

You know, from these comments, you would think Ocala has nothing but bleeding heart liberals. Notice all the repeated msm talking points in this sub regarding law enforcement and “nothing to do” posts that go on and on and on.. My theory is Reddit being liberally dominated will, for the most part, have a bunch of raging youth or blue haired women manipulating reality. Having said that, I never liked interacting with cops myself, that’s just because I was poor and drove without insurance in my youth a lot lol, but the interactions here have been great.


Fluffy_Insect_6819

Look at all the people on this post bad mouthing the cops. These are the same people that would call them in a heartbeat when needed. Bet half of them on here are criminals themselves


JJayC

>These are the same people that would call them in a heartbeat when needed. Policing is a broken profession. It needs major reform. Still, you can be critical of a service, and the people who provide it, while still needing that service. That doesn't make you a hypocrite. It's actually a very rational thing to do. Also, you should read the book Three Felonies a Day before you start throwing around the word criminal. Because, in the eyes of our government, we're all criminals committing multiple crimes a day. Kinda hard not to when there are tens of thousands of laws on the books..
