According to Officer Paul Robles, President of the Mammoth Lakes Police Officers Association, on Monday, November 21, 2011, the Mammoth Lakes Police Officer’s Association (MLPOA) spread some thanks by giving away 30 Thanksgiving Turkeys to local families.
Robles said that the MLPOA thinks “it’s important to give back to the community we serve. We often only deal with the negative aspects of police work, and it’s great to see the faces on these families when we hand them a turkey and wish them a great holiday. It’s very rewarding not just for the officers, but for the families involved as well.”
This is the second year the MLPOA has done their Turkey give-away.
Wow, is it just me or is there a huge lack of compassion out there?
It was a great thing you guys and gals of MLPD did… I just hope you didn’t give any free turkey’s to any family that is driving around in a 40,000.00$ s.u.v.
The Mammoth Lakes Police Officers Association obtained information from Mammoth Elementary and Middle School as to which families they knew were on hard times.

I,m not a bigot, I’m a law abiding Patriot who loves his Country. And there is proof of illegality. Where do you think 12 to 20 million illegal aliens from Mexico are hiding! In plain sight! Proof is in the pudding.
Scrooge? Why not show some unemployed skier who is waiting for things to pick up in town. Why again do you show the same picture from last year of some so called poor illegal alien family taking a free hand out. Because they need it? They dont need it! They… Read more »
Steve,
Ouch. Your bigotry is showing. The picture is new from this year, and there is no evidence of any illegality.
Please, find some love in your heart for the holidays.
Sincerely,
Benett
So Benett what was the criteria they used to discriminate against who didn’t get a turkey and who actually did?
I could say the article was lousy reporting and it would hold as much water as you saying Steven’s bigotry is showing. You shouldn’t go there.
Rob,
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, as they say, and the spirit of giving is just that. What’s with you guys?

Steve….I was getting ready to baste my Turkey,and your two comments on this story gave me a plan I’m sure you would agree with….Instead of MLPD giving out these turkeys to needy families,what they,and other organizations should do this holiday season is give out turkey dinners,gifts,instead of these “wish trees”… Read more »
I wonder where your “information” from. It’s not easy to get food stamps. You really have to show legal status and economic need. Try it yourself if you don’t believe me.

Steve,
You’re beginning to sound a tad like Scrooge.

Steven….This must be a terrible time of the year for you…The holidays when people,and organizations go out of their way to help out the less fortunate.Ever thought about applying for a news anchor job at Fox news?..Or running for the GOP nomination?…I hear…AND see they are trying to find a… Read more »
