Oh, I forgot that every citizen is granted a personal police officer! Give me a break! They can't be stationed at every city block 24 hours a day, then you'd be on here griping about your tax hike. If you are so concerned about crime in your neighborhood why don't you be PROACTIVE instead of REACTIVE and help the police out by calling in any suspicious activity. Better yet, why don't you take the initiative and form a community watch? Once again, another person jumping in to play the blame game. I guess nothing is ever good enough for you! News Flash! Life is not a bowl of marshmallows! Yes it is unfortunate that this occurred. However, we as citizens need to do our part and help catch this slime ball. Too many criminals get away because people are afraid to come forward with information.
