Riverside police shake and sway with school children as cameras roll. Their county counterparts, deputies from the bomb squad and coroner’s division, dance while pumping “JoinRSD.org” signs up and down.

I’d feel much safer if the Urban Ute hood rats were taught to act more like cops than to have the cops acting like hood rats.
