What type of fallacy is this?
Letter to the editor: “I would like to express my feelings on the recent
Conflict between county supervisor Blanche Wilder and Murdock County
Sheriff Al Peters over the county budget.
“I have listened to sheriffs’ radio broadcasts. Many times there have
Been dangerous and life-threatening situations when the sheriff’s deputies’
Most quick 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 to the safety and
protection of this county’s residents.”
