I am new to Knightstown Online, having recently visited a website that is currently advertising to Knightstown Online. I decided after viewing the site to see what the message board had to offer. When the page came up, I couldn't believe the responses about the Police Department and Town Board. I can't help but wonder if perhaps the truth is out and someone can't accept it....Mrs Hinshaw, if you have so many things against the police department why is there so much negative feedback toward you. I have lived in the surrounding community and have seen many employees of KPD come and go, and have seen small change in town officials. Not once here in the recent year have I had any negative feedback about our law enforcement. Truthfully the only negative feedback I have heard in conversation came from people whom would not stand up and admit to the wrongdoing of themselves or their family members. As a citizen, I am standing up to say that congratulations to the newest members of KPD and Danny Baker for his position as chief. As for thinking about the corruption and lies of the police department and town board.....What exactly, or in reference to what, are you talking about Ms. Hinshaw? I'm curious to know what exactly is going on here.

What corruption are you talking about? Give us some specifics. Have you had some personal experiences with the police? I've never had any involvement with law enforcement, so I really have no idea what you are talking about. If there is a problem here....I would like to know what it is.

do none of you read the paper about the police and town board? yes sarah i have had personal experiences... refer to the april banner .. i believe its in the 25th edition.. most of what was said in the paper at this meeting were lies..
ask a teenager in town who drives how they have been treated by the police ... that might shed a great deal of light on the subject.. and keep reading the banner as they usually write about the corruption of the police department and the town board..

All of this seems to the same old news over and over again. The problem does not only lie with KPD and the town council, it lies within the town itself. It's people in this community who will never change, and never allow new people into the community with new opinions. Why do you think nothing has changed? Why do you think that the police department has such a high turn over rate? Why do you think the town council have pushed some of these officers out? Those who have come in before and wanted to clean up this town have been pushed out. It's always looked at like there is nothing wrong there. You people in the community need to wake up and look around. The town needs a major overhaul, and you won't ever get it by telling people to leave. I think the best thing would be for those we suggest others to leave, should go themselves. You are not helpful to the community as a whole. You do nothing but hold progress back. The town really needs a new council with a new point of view. I hope things really start changing, for the sake of everyones children growing up here.

I did talk to some teenagers that live near me and drive...none of them had anything negative to say about the police and I have never had any type of interaction with them, so I still don't know what you are talking about. Also, I've never even been to a Town Council meeting...but I am thinking of attending one after all of this discussion. As for reading the Banner, I have to say I don't ever buy it. In my opinion, it is too negative and really doesn't provide the type of news that I am interested in. I really don't care about what happened in Knightstown 10 or 20 years ago, I am interested in what is going on now. I'm quite happy to read the Courier Times and the Indy Star. Obviously, you have gone through a difficult time and I am sorry for you. But, are these the same officers that caused you such distress? If so, then have you considered legal action? If you truly believe that you are a victim then you should absolutely stand up for yourself. If not, then is it really fair to blame "new" officers for the behavior of the "old" ones? I also did not grow up here and I will agree that it is "difficult" to actually become a part of this community. Regardless, I sincerely hope that your situation will improve.

As a parent I have to say my children have had experiences with our police department here recently.These experiences have given them insight on the importance of driving safe while on the road. Two weeks ago, or shortly after, my one child came home to mention how he had ran into one of the officers in town and realized that they all aren't out to get him. This officer, he couldn't remember his name, was fairly new, and just chatted with him for a few minutes in the parking lot. When my son got home, he was astonished that one of officers had made conversation with him and was pleased to know that they are just out to do their jobs. Referring to the banner, I do not keep the editions on hand so I couldn't go back and refer to it, but I have read each and every issue. Perhaps not everything that involves the police department is corruption and lies, maybe with the most recent changes, and the hiring of new officers, our department is changing for the better. Now that my child knows that the police are willing to speak and carry on a general conversation with the public, as well as provide safety and law enforcement to our citizens, he has a better understanding of the importance of abiding the laws, as many children these days do not.

you are entitled to your opinion james.. just as i am.. and as far as the new chief goes i have no idea what he is like .. i do know there are some officers here that i dont like.. based on personal experiences with those officers.. much of my experience has been in the past.. and i do hope that with hiring new officers and a new chief that if and when i ever do have to deal with these officers that they will have integrity and that they are not like the ones i have dealt with in the past.. and u are certainly correct and i agree with you on the issue that not everything is corruption and lies.. NOT everything is.. just some things and some officers.. no one wants to think that these things go on.. and if i had not dealt with these things on a personal level then i probably would want to think the way you do... but trust me things are NOT what they seem.. you have no idea the amount of harassment and such that i have endured since i have chose to speak out..
now about the townboard.. i can tell you first hand that David Glenn has lied repeatively to me.. you can choose to believe that or not.. thats your option.. he even lied about a meeting that i requested with the full board on when the meeting could be.. i had to call the banner and another board member to get that meeting date changed.. and read the paper, how long was it when we the townspeople found out about the lawsuit against the police department? they knew last fall.. if we dont know about these things.. then what else dont we know?...if they have nothting to hide then why not let the public know?
i only know that when the election for the townboard comes... i intend to vote against as many as the incumbents that i can.... its my understanding that three of those positions will have others running against them..
i didnt grow up here james and i have no idea if u did.. but as an outsider .. i see alot of kind wonderful people here that have just sat quietly by and i probably would have been one of those people too if not for circumstances which forced me to open my eyes..
thats just my thoughts ... by the way you can see any back issues of the banner if u choose .. by going to their website.. thebanneronline.com ..

You WERE given a meeting, and you didn't show up. How is that a lie by the town board? What is the "corruption" that you speak of? I know all the officers in the Knightstown Police Department, and they all do their jobs well. The department is finally beginning to regain respect with other agencies in the County. Perhaps you need to look at yourself to find the underlying problem.

Yes i have been upset with the town board and yes i had a problem with the police dept. but I sat down with the chief and talked it out, when we got to the bottom of the problem he was man enough to amit he was wrong. Said he was wrong and said he was sorry then shook my hand like a man!!there are many reasons why things happen and yes every body wants to know. cause they don't have a life,nothing better to do. let these people do their jobs. maybe if you would step back and look at yourself maybe you'd see what the rest of us town people see you as!!!!

I really do not understand what is going on. What is up with the capital letters. Do we need to scream to have our voice heard? For such a friendly town we are sure in a hurry to run people out that don't agree with you opinion. I thought that is what this message board was all about was discussion. I guess i am wrong. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion right or wrong but that doesn't give you the right to insult or yell at anyone. I would take your thought a little more serious if I seen a real name and not a screen name if you want to call it that. There are several issues that we could talk about in this wonderful town. For example why are we going to be using the budget of 2007 for 2008. Why are we looking for an increase on our utility bills? but no everything is nice and calm in K-Town. I really don't see why all of the attacks on Ms Hinshaws character. All she has done is stated her opinion. Do any of you know what she has been through? There seems to be a lot of people that think they know. I feel like I am watching a old witch movie and we have chosen our victim. What amazes me is everyone is complaining and saying just move. But I see a lot of enjoyment in the conversation because it just keeps going on. You all know we have issues because we are having an election for the first time since 1980. I know Ms Hinshaw didn't put that in motion on her own. But I bet you will see a good turn out at the polls. See you at the election!

Lordy,Lordy, knightstown people still havent learned for the most part to be open minded, allow each to think and do freely (as long as it isnt hurting anyone---apparently alot of grown ups still have childish egos/emotions)---a witch hunt indeed, I remember the same thing from about 20 years ago I once lived there,---may the lord bless those that stand up for what is righteous /and punish the 'witch' hunters----I stil have family in surrounding areas so no real name here either--I'll stay up in cold winds land, at least there are warm/compassionate hearts here.

i am glad that you were sucessful with your endeavor.. i am not sure what your issues with me are.. but the letter signed by wow and the letter wizzard i believe are one in the same.. and the last time i checked this is still america and i am entitled to my opinion... and i intend to exercise my right, that being freedom of speech...
besides i have just spoken the truth and i think some people such as yourself ... just dont want to hear it... as far as the townspeople.. i dont really know very many here.. so im not sure who you are referring to..however i would imagine its you and your cop family or townboard family.......so i suggest if you do not want to hear what i have to say then dont read my messages ...
