What needs to change to help slow down the crime rate...
1. $$$$ needs to go to the DA's Office to hire more Assistant DA's to prosecute these cases. I see first hand cases get turned down because they are just overwhelmed.
2. We need a PD that is not run by the media! We need a Chief that is aggressive and lets his officers fight crime and are not just REPORT takers. We need a PD that the bad guys fear. Officer friendly does not work. The City and Chief, because the City manager is his boss, fear the media and will do anything to please them....so what you have is go crack head complaining to the city that Officer ? told me to "shut up", prior to his arrest and that Officer having to answer to internal affairs.
My opinion is until we stop playin softy to these criminals they will continue to walk on the city and sue the city and win, why because we are scared.
