Not all of them express it in violence or lack of reverence for life; some are businesses that sell low quality at high price; some are dog walkers that will watch fido poop right next to a doggie bag station and never make move one to pick it up; some are just neighbors who don't have time to say, "Hey, how ya doin'?"<br /><br />An episode of Dragnet made this very point on antenna TV the other day. We've gone from a city of neighborhoods to clumps of strangers- and Jack Webb saw that coming 45 years ago.<br /><br />Yeah, I think "the police need your help" is just their way of saying, "We don't care either, but we'll do this to prove otherwise."<br />I don't think most cops on the street feel this way, but anybody who either owes his/her job or the continuance thereof to a politician are another story. <br />Kinda like what's happening in New Haven with all the robberies. I told you and my son that would happen once Harding kids got bussed into mainstream East Allen. The problem with sweeping it under the rug is, once you move the rug, it's everywhere.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-23265490809523843962012-04-18T12:57:46.928-04:002012-04-18T12:57:46.928-04:00John D.:

Then again, if I have to get into a gunfight, I'd rather be facing an opponent who doesn't know what he's doing.John DuMondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266303187278433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-26113990820074410582012-04-18T11:04:50.532-04:002012-04-18T11:04:50.532-04:00Slamdunk:

They don't really want too much help; just to put in an 8 and go home to where they reside in the quiet part of town. <br /><br /> Too bad the warm weather just brings more of this.Slamdunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087161268629251860noreply@blogger.com
