...and there you have it.
Facts are facts. Liberal minds like this are one of the reasons she has places like this in her town.
She in fact should use some common sense and avoid those areas of town, while at the same time realizing that she needs to support hard nosed, conservative representatives and police chiefs who are then free to address such areas, holding the people who are "throwing the block parties" responsible for their actions and incarcerating them.
No, she should indict the criminals, not law enforcement, for such incidents, and then indict herself for ham stringing law enforcement with officials who do not address the real issues...instead making them worse with their liberal, blame someone else, we want it all now, attitudes.

I agree. I am old enough to remember when cops in cities walked a beat. They had that night stick, a gun, an attitude---and most of all, a badge that was completely respected. City streets were completely different place as a result. No one really wanted to challenge one of these cops. A person might feel stronger in some way than one of them as an individual---but you knew they would stick together as a group and prevail in any situation. It was a simple, concrete manifestation of law and order---right front of your eyes everyday.
Ideally, I'd like to see cops back on the beat again---on every street in every city in the country. First however, we'd have to get rid of all this politically correct nonsense that has tied the hands of the cops. Until somebody starts shooting or something like that, they don't want get involved anymore. And I don't blame them. It's hard enough just doing an ordinary job and being a regular citizen with all this politically correct nonsense everywhere. Being a policeman---in the old sense of the word---is impossible.
It is true that there were some bad apples on the police force, and that was something of a burden to the community. I remember a cop who used to come in to the fast food place where I worked and act obnoxious, and abuse the fact that we gave the police free food.
But the reality of life is, when you have as many people crowded in as you do in a city, there's going to be some small group of people who are "ruling the roost". Most of us would gladly put up with the imperfections of the police---compared to the gangsters ruling the sidewalks of city streets now days.
