All along we have known Terrell Bolton is inept. First, TeBo violated state law by failing to register his camper with the state of Gerogia.
WGCL CBS 46 reporter Joanna Massey exposed Bolton and his questionable comp time.
Then WAGA FOX 5 reporter Dale Russell nails Bolton’s despicable act of running out of town less than 24 hours after Officer Bryant and Barker were gunned down, and some of the perpetrators still on the loose.
TeBo attended a community meeting two nights ago and was hammered by the general public on questionable transfers, promotions and his 62 days of comp time in two (2) years.
Now Bolton has been caught in another lie. He wants to purchase Tasers for all the line officers using seized drug money. (AJC STORY) The proof of his lie is WSB ABC 2 reporter Mark Winne’s report just 7 months ago. In the report, Bolton opposed using drug money for Tasers and went as far to claim it would be illegal. Fast forward the video to 5:36.
This latest move is a demonstration Bolton feels the heat. This is nothing more than a ploy for Bolton to try being something he’s not; competent.

If purchasing Tasers is a "routine" expense, how come we're not all routinely carrying Tasers now?
Wouldn't that mean carrying tasers is a "routine" thing? A tool that would be standard issue?
Are we not following the normal "routine"?
By the way, who is paying the "routine expenses" associated with repairing and maintaining the Magic Buses? Its my understanding that they're spending a huge chunk of time in the repair shop.
What is the cost of maintaining a fleet of broken magic buses and where is that money coming from?
Sounds like a great investigative story for Fox News....It would be inciteful considering the county budget shortfall.
"Coming up at Six... Dekalb County Police spending large sums of Taxpayer Money on extravagant "mobile precints". Is it worth the expense? We report. You decide."
I think maybe he is trying to get sympathy from the citizens when he gets the boot. Bolton, were you thinking a "Bring Chief Bolton Back Rally" from the public? Too late, you had your chance.
As I understand it, the reasoning was that the tasers should be service issued like your gun and other resources and replaced similarly. Those items are approved in the budgets and allocated throughout the year. To buy the tasers with seizure money ans a one time purchase is only one caveat. The other part is that when they need to be replaced, more purchased, the purchases then have to go before the BOC for approval. As for the the busses, the cost to maintain them would be under the threshold of BOC approval. Let's not forget that the BOC approved all of the "magic busses" as even seized money expenditures need their approval.
I don't see it as much about tasers as a purhasing issue.
I hope you all get the tasers...where ever they come from.
The first clip says Bolton asked for just under $500,000 for the tasers. The second clip shows the request as over $700,000 and now he says he wants to use over $1,000,000 to purchase them.
I hope you all get the tasers, but I also hope someone asks Bolton why the cost has doubled.
