FlintTalk.com Forum Index > Political Talk Topic: What's going on?

Author    Post   Dave Starr F L I N T O I D At the Tuesday meeting of block clubs this morning, a lady that lives in Howard Estates said that the police officers normally at the public housing sites have been pulled out. Anyone know anything about this? Also, is there a possibility that all the uproar about back pay, etc., a smoke screen to distract people from what's going on at city hall? _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.

Tue Feb 24, 2009 9:06 pm  twotap F L I N T O I D Why would a public housing unit need to have police stationed there. Do they have a crime problem. Maybe someone accused the cops of racial profilin. _________________ "If you like your current healthcare you can keep it, Period"!! Barack Hussein Obama--- multiple times.

We need every officer on the street right now. I think this is just the beginning of the sacrifices we are going to see. We don't have enough police to go around. _________________ No job, no income, no motivation, no problem Obama has your back.

She said the word there is that it's now open season, the police won't respond. Also, I've seen a couple cruisers lately with 2 officers in them. A new trend? The calls I hear on the scanner usually dispatch 2 cars, so putting 2 officers back in cars would at least save on some gas money. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now.

Thu Feb 26, 2009 10:36 am  seek4truth F L I N T O I D Dave, The police will still respond. They have too, its how long will it take. I heard the union is pushing that issue. It's alot safer to have two officers, and they can do alot more police work. I know when I was working my partner and I used to park the cruiser and walk through the projects. It's alot more tactical to be on foot. I know if they call us back I won't change that at all. The officers still working shared my view point on this theory. Besides it was hiliarious when thought we were security and would continue to deal drugs. By the time they found out they were wrong, it was too late. _________________ No job, no income, no motivation, no problem Obama has your back.

He's said that he's looking into using the liaison officers for the PAL program. Although there's been a millage that was supposed to pay for 40 community policing officers, I don't think there's any right now. There was a lady at the Tuesday meeting of block clubs we go to that was asking about this. _________________ I used to care, but I take a pill for that now. Pushing buttons sure can be fun.
