But it would be interesting to do a FOIA to read the reports of this "litany of abuses."

I do know that with rural/small town policing, it's easier to "run someone off" than to go up against the local PD. In most jurisdictions, you'd have the entire town against you.

The "Town Fathers," Village Idiots, and Town Drunks all have a hand in community "policing" in small town/rural America.
