Does Mason District have enough cops. A cop told me that he’s given up on speeders since he had to cut the chase after attaining 110 mph on Little River Turnpike. A call for assistance for a deranged man in mason District Park was handled by taking notes because “we don’t have enough cops to handle all the calls” according to the patrolman. Do we really need the number of police vehicles parked in Mason District Office parking lot when we don’t have the cops to utilize them? What say you Penny Gross?
Vincent,
Aren’t you a proponent of CRT, BLM, identity politics, and the like? And now you want more police?
In the parking lot of The Block and B-Thrifty Thrift store tonight there were about 100 cars with blaring music, people dancing on cars, scantily clad women, marijuana that could be smelled from the main road. I saw a cop drive right by.
This is what you wanted, and you got it, you can’t give it back now.
