#3 ‘Unarmed’ to ‘limit racial profiling’; as if the weapon creates the profiling.

The only way this will be a successful program is if these new traffic nazis carry small plastic bags to clean up the piles of feces in the streets.

#5 Airandee -- they'll be the ones leaving the piles, and you can't expect them to clean up after themselves.

We insist you desist! Yes, and cease!
