Police Want To Speak With Resident Who Posted Sign.
(Excerpt) Read more at wgal.com ...
What’s “deer crack”?
I love a good, ironic quoate.
Police too busy going after all those people not wearing their seatbelts?
The part that gets made into hamburger?
Certainly it can't be the First Amendment Police.
Little zer0 hasn't had the time to install a tax cheat in that office yet.
I had to read it twice, then I laughed.
I pissed off resident sick of the crack heads.
York is a small town in the heart of Amish country. And it has a CRACK problem??!
I suppose the emphasis on literacy evidenced in the sign’s verbiage was designed to appeal to the intended audience.
No, not very Amish on this side of the river. But, yes there are some problems.
Yuck.
Bingo. Ebonics my guess.
Aside from his spelling, I think he deserves a cookie.
Maybe the people should take back their own neighborhood and stop blaming the police.
No. I think it’s intentional :’)
I like the little smiley face at the end. It’s a nice touch.
Considering the nice, neat way in which that sign is written, I’d say the misspelling was done on purpose.
They are trying. They also have a raw sence of humor.
where you mount a trophy doe.
“Maybe the people should take back their own neighborhood and stop blaming the police.”
I would agree, except that as soon as the people take any such action, the police will swoop in like flying monkeys to carry them off to jail.
Police today might be afraid to bust crack dealers, but they’re not afraid of citizens.
By the way, I’m a strong supporter of the police, when they do their job.
Lots of meth in this valley, but the emphasis is on seat belts and aggressive drivers.
In York it must be a crime to embarrass the police.
Sting must be happy.
That’s because the fines are revenue, police are revenue generators. Generally seat belt fines and aggressive drivers are not armed to the teeth high on crack thinking they are invincible and ready to gun down the cops.
York police want to try to get a resident to incriminate himself on some completely unrelated matter.
To prevent duplication, please use the source title. Thanks.
York is very “diverse” city, much more like Philadelphia in that respect than the rural areas you’re thinking of.
Did I dupe?
Sorry!
Maybe the cops should devote more attention to drug dealers than to sign posters. But like another poster said, there’s no money in that. Cops are told to bring in revenue.
“That’s because the fines are revenue, police are revenue generators. Generally seat belt fines and aggressive drivers are not armed to the teeth high on crack thinking they are invincible and ready to gun down the cops.”
Yeah, I know that, and...how should I put this? It makes me just the teeny-tiniest bit displeased. If you know what I mean.
Interesting they want to talk to the person who wrote the sign but not the crack dealers.
The bit betweem the two rump roasts?
Hope he or she doesn't have a dog.
That part right below the tail. ROFLOL, I just could not stop myself!!!!
York is not Amish Country. York is Baltimore North.
They only see the crack dealers when they pick up their protection money.
I’ve lived near deer all my life and never had any idea they had drug issues. Amazing! The crack epidemic is truly out of control.
I am there with you my brother.
It is also because in some cases LEOs are not able to deal with the issue and can deal with minor infractions. A county near me had a terrible problem with meth addicts/labs and all that goes with it. Most of the activity was out in the country and under jurisdiction of the sheriff. It was obvious to everyone that the problem was becoming huge and the sheriff’s department was ignoring it. Most people felt someone was getting paid off- but that didn’t make sense because everyone felt the sheriff was a stand up guy and good LEO with every other issue.
All the sudden the sheriff’s department began to raid meth labs and come down hard on the problem with massive education and enforcement. I asked a deputy’s wife why it was allowed to get so out of control and she told me- this county only had 4 deputies in the field to deal with all issues- that was not enough to face down the meth dealers or enough to handle meth issues with other LEO issues. The department managed to get increased funding to hire more deputies and is now tying to deal with it- but it is very difficult now because the problem was allowed to grow so large before they could deal with it in any effective way. LEOs have limited resources and have to decide what they can and can’t handle- it is not always a matter of what they want to do as much as what they are able to do.
Until a problem gets so bad it is obvious to everyone it is hard for LEO agencies to get increased funding to increase personnel or other things they need to do in order to be able to deal with the issues. This is why we have inner city areas that are a no-man’s land for crime. I got my degree in Police Science (as it was known as then) in the 1970s and had a professor that had been a police officer in Compton California in the 50s-60s; he said LEO saw the problems coming and were flat out unable to deal with them and it has been a constant losing effort to play catch up every since. It is a losing effort because they are constantly behind the curve in resources.
Sugar beets.
Now that one’s original!
If this is York, PA. then we’re talkin “LIVE”!!
“It is a losing effort because they are constantly behind the curve in resources.”
I don’t deny what you say, but they are constantly behind, IMO, becuase there is far, far too little shooting of criminals these days.
Maybe the person who wrote the sign knows something the police need to know. I don’t see malicious intent here.
