I’m glad the Honda was stolen, it shows the lack of respect and responsibility that the police have for the tax paying citizens in this community. Failing to correct an ongoing problem is today’s law enforcement agenda is the norm one can expect from city leaders and officials.. Allowing this problem to continue only proves one thing to me and others, that the police are just here to treat the community like cattle and they live off the backs of tax payers like a parasite . Collecting a paycheck is their ownly real concern
