Police need to stop shooting down our children like dogs in the street

If they can't get they're act together some one is going to do it for them.

Personally - I will vote against any politician that raises the police budget ever again - Dem or Republican

The circle jerks tried to get it voted in 3 times and each and every time it was soundly defeated

Just think of all the Tax dollars you pay for the privilege of having your children gun down in the streets

20. Our police department closes at midnight.

They reopen at 6am. If you call the county will respond.

But I agree there are differences in the towns. No major city could survive without a police department.

3. It is NOT like shooting dogs in the street

People would get very upset if dogs were being shot down in the street. Our children? Not so much. When a dog gets shot, everyone wonders if there wasn't some other way. When a child gets shot, we spend all kinds of energy trying to figure out if they didn't "deserve" to be shot.

19. Leftcoast was a little too inebreated to know the difference

I wish him all the best but as long as he sought the bottle instead of gainful employment there wasn't much anyone could do for him

I moved from Rocklin and their FedUp police and school system in 2007. Placer County sheriff is even worse the Sacto if you can believe it. But yes - the Sacramento County Sherriff's Dept's reputation proceeds them

I thought you were some how going off my IP addy which often says I'm in Elk Grove - but that would be all the way across Sacramento from me
