The Sun is doing a pretty good job covering all the news here. I am reading more of the police activity. Seems they are doing a pretty good job on "real" crime as well as attempting to keep our streets safe.
The problem of addressing real crime is it is not something they necessarily look for. It is usually a case of responding. They don't know when some thug is going to rob a convenience store, for example. But they are catching that thug with some regularity. They are making drug busts. They are catching DUI violators, parole violators and other bad types. We don't seem to have a problem here with burglaries but we did a few years back. The police seemed to have handled that well.
Addressing traffic law violators is another matter. They look for them. They are finding plenty of them. There is nothing wrong, in my opinion, expending time and money keeping our streets safer by enforcing traffic laws.
I, for one, am not one who has lost any respect for the police. To the contrary, I have gained respect.
BTW, what "real crime in the area" are they not addressing?
