Northern Michigan Sheriff Asks People to Stop Doing Stupid Stuff

We're all busy and there are not simply enough hours in the day to get it all done.

Being the head of a law enforcement agency is no different, apparently, so one Northern Michigan sheriff had an idea: He went on Facebook and asked people to stop doing stupid stuff for a couple of months, in order to give his people a chance to catch up.

Oh, if it were only that simple.

Michael Bitnar is the sheriff of Chippewa County. His online plea began:

"Due to the overwhelming work load on our local Law Enforcement here in Chippewa County, I would ask you to please give us the opportunity to catch up. We need a few months with NO criminal activity or emergencies to respond to."

Bitnar went on to outline the time-consuming criminal activity that needs to stop:

1- Stop drinking and driving (or under the influence of drugs)

2- Stop the domestic and sexual assaults

3- Stop stealing or embezzling from your place of work

4- Stop selling drugs

5- Stop driving so fast and crashing.

6- Stop abusing our children

7- Stop bringing other peoples [sic] urine to your court ordered drug test.

He signs off on the tongue-in-cheek post by saying he's "respectfully venting."

Bitnar's post has been shared over 300 times in the first hour after it appeared on Facebook and has had a lot of comments and likes from members of the community.

We don't yet have any reaction from the criminals of Chippewa County.

10 Must Find & See Michigan Speakeasies

Prohibition and Michigan have an interesting relationship. Although the nationwide constitutional ban on the production, importation, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages started on January 17, 1920, Michigan had a jump on things starting its ban way back January 17, 1917. As a result, Speakeasies popped up everywhere, and the tradition still continues today. From nostalgic, modern chic, or just your good ole' dive bar that's been around forever, the Speakeasy is alive and well in Michigan. Check out 10 Must Find & See Speakeasies around the state.
