That's great! Police need a more human face in most neighbourhoods, and taking a few runs down a hill where other tobogganers are sledding is a fine way to do it. I'm sure the kids there now look at police officers in a whole new way. Plus, I bet those kids have never felt safer sliding down a hill before! While it looks like they didn't get an official reprimand, just a mild scolding, they shouldn't have gotten even that. Not that officers should be encouraged to fool around while on patrol, but IMHO, this is really effective community policing. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
