Ping.
Thats right. No point having them!
I don’t live “in town”, but we have 1020 population. No police.
Got a problem? Call the sheriff.
Yeah, I can’t wait for the North American Union troops to arrive to establish order.
(it also forced the town of Oakley, population 290, to put its army of 100 reserve officers on ice).
wait... no. yes? wow! that’s a lot of drycleaning.
wow!
One would think that with a population of 4000, they could vote out the fool that did this and put someone in that would fix it.
People keep claiming the small town departments are more self controlled. Really? Sounds more like a recipe for a few friends who like lording over their neighbors.

I’ve been called to a ministry myself. That doesn’t make me immune to criticism for how I perform.
I think they turned the Boston manhunt into one giant fishing expedition. Your picture and that a lot of people got guns pointed at them, when clearly they weren’t the suspect.
And in the end, tossing out all restraint didn’t even get the job done.
they stopped selling humvees to civilians - need to start that back up.
(Stupid rules like no padded dash stopped the sales.)
ping for later

From the article, it seems the unfortunate Mr Nadwornik was not peeing in just any old dark corner of a parking lot, he was peeing in the dark corner of a parking lot that was private property that he happened to own personally.
Yes, agreed and well said!
“private property that he happened to own ...”
Wow. Outdoor urination at night on your own property made into criminal activity
