#1 "you got you.."
"I didn't say nothing..."
" ...them no chase on foot..."

Good Lord! Is this woman really that illiterate and/or ungrammatical?

#2 The problem can be easily solved. Don't have the POLICE chase fleeing suspects - have their 9mm emmisary do the chasing.

#3 I suspect the unemployment rate in Wellford will increase by one after the next election. Is anyone surprised that the mayor is a Democrat?

#6 Wow. Just wow. Go watch the video. Talk about ignoring your responsibility. And the chief of police is just as bad.

Quick highlights:

Goblins who escape (or walk away) won't hurt anyone else - it won't happen here.

Just because they escape doesn't mean we won't catch them 'later'. (presumably without pursuit... will they turn themselves in?)

We can still keep people safe (by following the directive). (This from the chief of Police).

#7 Good! They should also stop arresting people because that implies a value judgement and probably hurts their feelings. Besides, everyone is innocent until proven guilty so why are the police chasing them in the first place?

#8 Sure she didn't have any input on the ROEs for Afghanistan?

#9 Just have police and 911 dispatchers take requests and complaints, and get back to the service requesters within 48 hours, in an 8-to-5 sort of way. With a 12 to 1 lunch break, of course. We must be civilized here, ya know.

#10 Easy solution. If a perp runs, shoot him. Just let the public know that if a police officer wants to talk to you, you damn well had better stop.

#11 Look for a huge increase in crime, crooks will be coming from a hundred miles around.
