Gee, Hardin had no problem recruiting Michael Hilton and the American Police Force. They even brought three new Mercedes Benz SUVs to town complete with stick on logos. Of course, they and their cronies took them all away when the deal fell through. The problem for small towns in Montana and elsewhere isn’t in finding guys who want to be cops, it’s in finding honest guys who want to be cops. It’s also a problem of having ignorant right wing conservatives running local governments. We can fix that.
