Political Pawns

After seeing the lay out of the paper, how they placed the arrest of my son and his friends on one side and, by pure coincidence of course, they placed the article discussing the monetary needs for the new law enforcement on the other was sickening. Our children are not political pawns to be used to gain support for your new toys there Chief Wyffels. Why don't you try proven evidence based programs rather than just being reactionary? Our bulging jails and rising fears about crime are proof enough of the failures of the era of zero tolerance and three strikes your out. I think the city's money would be better spent on after school programs and other evidence based methods of deterrence than on buying you shiny things.

More to come!
