I suggest they be trained to walk a little bit more like over-fed geese, and to salute with one arm straight out at 45 degrees, palm down. Each would be required to grow a cute little mustasche and wear their hair at a 45 degree angle down over one eye. Each would be fashionably bedecked with a charming metal helmet with clevely flaring edges and an awe-inspiring spike on the top. Since they are park police, batons should be replaced with baseball bats at the ready. A few could have horse-shoes ready to throw at the ankles of opposition political candidates and supporters terrorizing the neighborhood with UnPresentMajorityParkBoard leaflets. The cost of doing this amounts to only 3 cents in every $20, so we should proceed with this change full speed ahead, with little (or better no) further public discussion. --David Shove Roseville just my $2 billion worth REMINDERS: 1.
