Here is a notice I received about a Sheriff in Texas hitting the speed bag to get his frustrations out. Gotta love that... Not sure how long this story will be on this site, but it's interesting to see where and how the speed bag shows up.
ANGELINA COUNTY, TX (KTRE) -
In the wake of an unsuccessful attempt to convince the Angelina County commissioners to accept his request for more manpower and pay his employees more, Sheriff Greg Sanches posted two videos that expressed his frustration about the situation on his Facebook page.
During one video, Sanches, a former amateur boxer, is talking to an employee about the pay situation as he is working out on a speed punching bag at the sheriff’s office.
A speed bag involves timing. Sanches' request for deputy raises and more manpower did, too. The court told him to wait, He told them the wait is into its fourth year. In the commissioners court's meeting room, Sanches held his ground. He saved his temper for the speed bag hanging up in the sheriff's office.
In the first video, Libby Parrish, an administrative assistant with the sheriff’s office, asks, “What are you doing?”
“I’m kind of mad today,” Sanches says. “We had commissioner’s court yesterday, and it didn’t go so good. It hasn’t gone good for about four years. Our deputies are underpaid, and they’re putting their lives on the line out there.”
As Sanches continues punching the speed bag, he says, “It’s a durned shame the county doesn’t take the time to pay these guys what they ought to be paid. Putting their lives on the line. We're trying to deal with the pay and keep good employees here."
