Mayor tours violent areas in police ride-along


How long did that last? Did you know as soon as you went by, they went back towards doing what they do best?

Here's what may drop the shooting numbers even more. Foot Patrols. You need to grab all of the city, and county legislators, even the congressional and senate members, and demand funding for fully staffed police departments, so that you don't have scattered foot patrols across the city.

If you pack 4 officers in a vehicle, make 2 of them get out and walk. I told you years ago folks, they were touting foot patrols in my community. Haven't seen it yet. I did tell you that a couple of years ago they were riding bikes, but for some strange reason, they too have vanished. Hell, there was even one that rode a motorcycle like clockwork towards the park. I don't even hear the rumble of that bike anymore.

I'm betting the only reason why is budget cuts. Yet they freely give themselves pay raises. Yeah Mr. Mayor, how long did that ride last? They went right back doing business as usual, because a couple more were shot before, during, or after your cadet ride.
