What ever happened to “To Protect and To Serve”? Beefing up police patrols to crack down on jaywalkers? Seriously? Insanity.
“To Protect and Serve” is just a motto. Has the same legal and obligation weight as the Oakland Raider’s motto “Just Win Baby”...come to think of it both promise positive results but often ‘the fan’ comes out bruised, battered and a loser.
Protect and serve in college towns is all about staking out underage drinking and raiding greek parties to up the revenue for the lawyers and city by issuing tickets. These kids have almost completely stopped driving after drinking so the cops ticket them when they are walking home after a night out for public drinking. It’s insane and out of control in college towns. I think drug use is way up among college students because of the ridiculous drinking age of 21.
