| I am a friend of Sgt. McDowell......The charges against him are more then a bunch of BS. Some of them are from as far back as 3 years ago when Sheriff Bartlett was not even sheriff of calvert. Bartlett wants to have a open trial board(open to the public) for the charges on McDowell in late Sept. When Bartlett was a Cpl., and FOP president, he fought not to have trial boards for PG county and now all the sudden he wants to have them in calvert? Double standard? I dont know, I just read in the wasington post that the FOP endorsed Bartlett. I have heard that many of the deputies are scared to even speek negative about him, in fear for there job. If McDowell does not get the GOP nomination I will vote for who ever bartletts opp. is |
