When a small town police department came under fire for a series of questionable arrests, PAR dug deeper into the finances of Milton, West Virginia. What we uncovered reveals how economic inequality fuels bad policing, and how prioritization of law enforcement over other communal needs is often at the root of bad public policy.

It would be interesting to know what this town is charging it's homeowner's in permit fee's etc. That seems to be a lucrative money making scheme being used by many cities to generate as much money for the town occifials. Just as an example, my town offers a $10k grant to homeowner's for certain home improvements. However, the majority of that money would go right back to the town in permit fee's, violation fee's, new survey fee's, new architectural plans fee's, inspector fee's, expeditor fee's, etc, etc, etc… And small claims, heh, another scheming dept. Where the attorney for the plaintiff felt confident enough to say to me, "the arbitrator won't look at your evidence". And sure enough, when I tried to show the arbitrator, my evidence, she shut me down by telling me, "you're not helping the situation". Then proceeded to make her decision without even glancing at my evidence. Corruption trickles downward!!!
Another nazi-tyrant run town in America?
Our Country has gone to Crap 💩 since Biden has taken office ! Biden and Harris administration have been attacking the United States 🇺🇸 people since their first day! NWO Satanist have taken over our Country ! From the Federal Government down to local law have been destroying our Constitutional Rights! WAKE UP ! Pray that G D will help us Utterly destroy the NWO Satanist Cult and it’s members everywhere ! Pray ðŸ™ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸
So amazing! Ty for all your Help!
Personally I feel they are trying to normalize abuse of authority and make people think they have no Rights
I don’t support dope. But your show shows the criminality of cops.
This proves that police are nothing but organize crime, we’re paying them to do a job and they’re stabbing us in the back, all they’re trying to do is make money for the government, water issues this and that hello pop bang cuckoo. ACAB 1312 we have rapist, child molesters, dope dealers and killers running around and what are cops doing, trying to make money for the government. Why did Ted Bundy happen? ACAB 1312
The large grow industry is legal. His personal grown is not. Milton cops should have had a warrant. Personal grower should be fee. The personal grower has a illegal operation and isn't a legal business. So that part of his argument is bullshit. I live near Milton and don't go into the town. I64 runs through Milton; no way to.avoid traveling through.
The wrong crimes are punished in this country. There are no arrests and no convictions on these money and power crimes. The company not paying its workers while funneling its money into another opportunity makes my blood boil. Meanwhile we're watching a man being arrested for a few pot plants and dealing with a $100,000 bond 🤬🖕ðŸ¼
Milton sounds like a terrorist town. This report should convince anyone to stay well away.
When Trump wins these crooked cops and city workers will be put under the jail
Milton, home of The "Milton Opry house" true
i could do with out the liberal quip's
Damn Milton is 25 mins from me. This is absolutely crazy. 2500 residents. 24 sq miles within city limits of Milton. 10 police officers. Budget of 530k per year. Plus they are allowed to patrol the 10 miles of interstate within city limits. They are running radar daily there. It’s horrible down there.
Sounds suspiciously like socialism, the state controls enterprise keeping small business out of the market place
You think Milton is bad?, you haven't been to Lincoln County, I had to move to Huntington to get away from the Abusive cops and corruption.
This sounds exactly like Russellville Kentucky Logan County
These tyrants are savages. They make all good police look bad.
this is not just a American problem, you wouldnt believe the shit they do in NZ. No constitution just a ignored bill of rights
Thank you for your work. This is essential for a free country.
