I have nothin' but respect for the men who serve the citizens everyday (I'm an ex-cop myself). But the enforcement of those laws is also served by reinforcement from the city/county fathers. They can direct the funds, if available, to focus more thouroughly on this prevailing problem. Citizen input will also go a long way to help the Departments make a difference. That's where you and I (and all of us) come in.
You weren't the only one confused by my choice of a word. When I reread it myself, I was confused too! Thanks for pointing it out and giving me a chance to clarify. |
Fair enough. Do you have any specific policies you'd like to see a "harder" stance on?
I seriously am interested.
