Re: [UC] police in Clark Park

[Jimmi Badger]

A little more information.

Was there no actual crime, or were the police using improper force?  If so, 
maybe i need to get back into the habit of stopping to watch and take mental 
notes every time i see someone being arrested.

Is this an emerging pattern of violence?  Maybe i should never go to Clark Park 
without my dog.  Maybe i should worry about my young godchild, who plays there 
almost every day.  

Is it possible that the adolescents who spent all last summer harrassing my 
housemates, vandalizing my house, and smashing every third car window on the 
block are back in action?  Then it's time to have the "eyes on the street" 
conversation with my immediate neighbors again.

Was someone seriously injured?  I'd like to keep that person in my thoughts.




You know, just a little real gossip for yet another nosy neighbor.

      Mark, please spare us all the conspiracy theories and 
        pseudo-radical cynicism.  They're as tired and unhelpful as the 
        "this is the city, get used to it" line.

several kids handcuffed on the ground.

You didn't see *anything*, Jimmi.  Okay?  University City has a VERY low 
crime rate!

On the same topic: I ALSO didn't see a man being arrested for armed 
robbery right outside of my house last night at 11:15pm.  The dozen police 
cars (marked, un-marked, and undercover) blocking Locust St. just west of 
44th must've been a figment of my imagination.  University City has barely 
any crime at all.
