Sure, the Police only succeeds in giving people tickets. When you need them though, there are nowhere to be found. Great!!

Good luck finding him. If our police dept was not so incompetent at taking reports seriously or at least took a stroll around the neighborhood a bit more often, we would not see these things happening in our neighborhood.

The biggest bank robbery in history was when the banks and their lapdogs in DC robbed the taxpayers and called it a “bail out.”
