“ Feather did you bother to read the docket? Sounds like maybe the guys working the street have been busy. Should the break in of your car take priority over some of these other calls? Maybe you should approach City Council and ask them to hire more officers. Did you know that the PD is working under minimum staffing? You pay taxes for Police service, but the minimum amount of guys can only handle active calls, there is not much time left for proactive work.

“ Let's see, there have been cars broken into around my neighborhood every night it seems for almost a week now which tells me that the person almost has to live around the area! Why aren't the police doing their job and finding out who's doing this?! Oh wait, maybe it's because they're too busy playing their video games at the station to actually care! Come on, do your job and find out who's doing this!!!!! ”
