For awhile in St. Pete, the average response time for a 911 call involving a possible murder was longer than the response time for possible tampering with GTE's telecomm boxes.
(JABIL, Raytheon, Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, and MacDill AFB)
The murder already happened. How do the police do anything?
We need a preventive police force, not a reactionary one which we have. Then they could truly help the children.
Well in St.Pete I could tell you where some police funds come from
Police Protection is an oxy-moron. When do they protect you or I?
I have been studying crime in my city, I have yet to find a "real" random act on violence, only time it is random is when drugs and or alcohol is involved.
So the drugs/alcohol are the problem, not the people (rape, murder, assault theft). Most crimes seem to happen at night on weekends after bars close, and a lot downtown. So I would have to infer alcohol causes high crime rates.
So all the bullshit of the police protecting me is just that, bullshit, I'm worried about the random drunk guy who brakes into my house (which happens a lot here), not the thug gang member.
