Supposedly the police seem concerned with the convenience of the citizens, as long as it is not directed against them. If you want to complain about the police, you still have to make a physical trip to the location of their choice. What a joke to say that police do not have a monstrous entitlement complex.

Well, well, well, harping on the police again are we. The reason Chief White started this innovative new procedure wasn’t for the convenience of the citizens, it’s because of the manpower shortage created because so many retirements. White won’t say it publicly, but that’s the fact. I see some of us are dumb enough to believe Whites excuse but I’m not biting. Officers need to make the runs in the neighborhoods (ain’t that what COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING was suppose to accomplish in the first place) so they will know where the problems are. Taking a report by phone will not allow the officers to get to know their beats. White, Stengel and Abramson have destroyed the morale of the Metro Police Dept. Until we clean up White and Abramson’s mess we’ll have officers coming to work simply to draw their checks. I don’t blame the officers, I wouldn’t work for an administration that prefers to treat the criminals in the community better than the police. Your Democratic Party at its best. Oh yeah, In order to complain on a police officer you must still sign a complaint. I don't have a problem with that, everybody has a right to face their accuser. In order to take out a warrant on an individual you must go downtown to the courthouse and sign the affidavit, the clerk ain't going to make house calls.

It's my opinion the police men and women stunt their own growth with communities with their personalities. I haven't ever called the police and thought of White,Jerry or anyone else other than getting the situation taken care of.
I have talked to officers that really want to get to the problem,will get out of their car and walk up to you,will get both sides before making remarks or comments,they are polite,... Then I have had a few that were so lazy you had to walk to them,they acted like you were bothering them because their lazy butt had to push a peddle and turn their steering wheel a few times and put the car in park. They were mouthy,talked over you while you were trying to give them all the details,and I called in on one of them. I was pleased to know he got moved to another area. Before I even got his name out to his boss his boss already knew who it was. The problems we have here aren't just a few peoples problem or fault.

CAKES, YOU'RE RIGHT AGAIN. SOME COPS ARE CHEST THUMPERS, WHILE THAT MIGHT SEEM IMPOLITE IT'S STILL NOT AGAINST THE RULES. IN EVERY PROFESSION YOU HAVE THESE TYPES THEY'RE NOT ALL COPS. WHAT ABOUT THE SEMI DRIVERS THAT GET 2 FT. OFF YOUR BUMPER AT 70MPH. I FEEL MUCH MORE THREATENED BY THEM THAN I DO A CHEST THUMPING COP. SOME DOCTORS AND LAWYERS ARE INTIMIDATING AND ABOUT 90% OF THE JUDGES IN THIS TOWN CAN HARDLY GET THEIR HEADS THHROUGH THE DOORS OF THE COURTHOUSE. a COP CAN PUT YOU IN JAIL, A JUDGE CAN MAKE SURE YOU STAY THERE.

Obviously my number one fan has had little contact with the court system- speeding tickets aside. I try to write in a simple manner he can comprehend but it keeps going over his head. Apparently, he thinks he’s the only one capable of satire. Here’s a formula he needs to learn before crossing swords with THEDREAM. Satire-Wit=Stupidity.
