Awhile back I watched a YouTube video of some guy on a New York City sidewalk talking to two young NYPD cops.
The conversation was polite. But both of the cops sounded like they were mentally challenged. It really surprised me. Perhaps that’s all New York can get to sign up these days.
And BTW...I've been to about 25% of the places you list on your profile,including Chicago,Minnesota, Buffalo,Sarasota,Ottawa,Tampa,Boston,Chicopee (yes,my late sister once lived there),Hackensack...and a few others! :-)
Its sad. Petty crime destroys American values. How can someone get up at 6am and get the kids off and get on a bus for 45 minutes to get to an entry level job paying $120/day when the gal next door shoplifts 6 items at Macy’s and fences them and is back in the crib by noon watching Oprah and sipping on something sweet and purple.
