"I have listened to sheriffs' radio broadcasts. Many times there have been dangerous and life-threatening situations when the sheriff's deputies' quickest possible arrival time is 20 to 30 minutes. This is to me very frightening.

"Now supervisor Wilder wants to cut two officers from the Sheriff's Department. This proposal I find ridiculous. Does she really think that Sheriff Peters can run his department with no officers? How anyone can think that a county as large as Murdock can get by with no police is beyond me. I feel this proposal would be very detrimental tothe safety and protection of this county's residents."

Do you know what fallacy means? I can spot the fallacies in these two sentences rather quickly, but that is because I know the definition of fallacy. Figure out the definition, and you will be able to answer your question.
