[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently MoCo Police refused to come to the store. CVS employees were still waiting for 45 minutes, as “no units available.”

WTF is happening with the police that they had more pressing business?[/quote]

Like most local governments around here, MoCo government has been captured by soft-on-crime zealots. Not going to change anytime soon, and this is the result.  Brazen crime tolerated, I’d say affirmatively welcomed, by the authorities in formerly safe areas.  Watch your back, everyone.  [b]No one is coming to stop this, and it’s only going to get worse.[/b][/quote]

If this is true, then what are police doing while they are at work & collecting a paycheck?

They are following the policies made by the MoCo authorities.  The decision to tolerate crime and disorder of this sort is a policy choice.  Other choices could be made, but they won’t be made by the current slate of elected officials.  [/quote]

It is so refreshing to find others on DCUM who understand the real problem: the council.

We can’t fault the police. The council wants fewer police (source: Reimagining Public Safety report) and that’s exactly what we getting. Now that the council realized their efforts were misguided, they literally can’t pay people to sign up. The council made this recruitment mess.

And current police? The people complaining that police don’t show up simply don’t get it. MCPD is severely understaffed! Calls are up and there are fewer police to respond. Again: that’s on the council.

You want laws enforced? Once again, look to the council. They are currently deciding whether police can even pull people over for low-level offenses. Don’t get angry at officers when you see them “ignoring” safety issues. That’s on… you guessed it… the council.

The fact we have anybody left willing to be part of MCPD is amazing. [/quote]

Keep the calls coming.
To the council, to the police, to the schools, to the press, to the county.[/quote]
