    Yesterday I saw two officers sitting for hours in a barber shop with a new vehicle parked. Who was paying for this ? My tax dollars are going out the window

    Yet the prison can't get proper escort transportation and other important resources. Majority of this country's resources gets poured into the police rather than other government entities who are JUST AS IMPORTANT

    40 years ago we had a handful of officers on foot. This is growth, and we must continue to embrace it.
