Hat's off Keith!! Hats of Barb!!
Folks, crime happens! If our police force were fully staffed to take on the crimes that plaque our streets, and I mean beat officers ON THE STREET, not in some desk job filling out forms for the county, state and the cities own inner legal system (overburdened by vague claims and hollow accusations against city workers and the city as a whole), we could take the time to dust for prints and investigate. We have strayed far too far from the idea that we must punish those who commit crimes. We bury our city employees in forms and procedures in fear of covering our own hind end in case someone running out of your house with your TV, is tripped up by a police dog, and breaks a collar bone, and then sues the city for the sum thirty times the value of your TV, (which you won't be reimbursed for in the next year) so that they can then buy a bigger one than they intended to steal from you, two hour after being released by the court on the count that we do not have the ability or resources to punish someone who is a repeat offender as we are out of money - as we just paid another stinking lawsuit to a criminal! Let's stop wondering why we are victims and start working together as a city to band together and make this a great city. If you have someone in your neighborhood who is breaking the law - don't sit at home and whine about it! Get involved in your neighborhood! Take control of your neighborhood! Assist the police as much as you can. But don't waste your breath and the valuable time of others by bantering about how you feel victimized by the way you were treated by a thug in your area you refer to as a police officer! Community involvement is a great deterrent. Let's seek that rout before we run through the person who is trying to get to everyone who is a victim on a daily basis. Sincerely, Valdis Rozentals.
