As
regards SPD, We know you want a new jail and additional officers.
Frankly, My friends are skeptical. We know SPD can arrest as many
people as beds. So what is the point? By not building a new jail or
hiring more police, we protect our friends from the ravages of the
Sheriff and SPD. It is a serious concern. We also know that community
policing is a sham! just like neighborhood block watch, which assures a
snitch on every block sticking there nose up the neighborhoods arse.
We all work together to make our neighborhood safe. Keeping an eye on
empty rentals etc. I myself had an intruder in my house! my dog, rocky,
alerted me. I chased him out the house got an identification, called
SPD. You folks arrived about 2 min later and arrested him 2 blocks from
my house. Thank you. We have a good police force but we want
excellance. To achieve that we'll give psych tests and develope hiring
paramaters to assure that #kittykutters
are for the most elininated from force. Some Vets are not suitable to
do community police work. I personally object to police who prefer to
shoot rather then arrest. what are your tasers for
As
a Pedestrian, 'stolen car victim' I know how wonderful our city can be
and how dangerous it can be. It would be nice for you to get out on NW
blvd and hand out flyers about respecting pedestrians and cyclists and
reminding drivers that they Must share the roadway with
walkers,skateboarders cyclists etc and they must stop for walkers.
Emphasis patrols. Backed up by felony manslaughter/assault charges
levied by prosecutor to make your point to Drivers across city..
I'm
thinking of running for Mayor. Mr Condon is as much the problem as
solution and hasn't solved anything. My main plank? #1 snow harvesting,
center plowing, sidewalk snow removal for city and businesses. #2 Bee
keeping in a sanctuary 'Bee City' where we work together to make our
insects healthy leading to healthy birds fish in our wonderful river.
Either a City Bee keeper or a School district Bee Keeper and educator in
our schools. To limit the use of pesticides and encourage grass
hoppers on river bluffs for trout and grouse.
The
most dangerous thing for me was winter and Spokane plowing that left
every pedestrian at risk of falling down or run down. City plowing
forces people to walk/wade in the street. In Spokane pedestrians of all
ages and ability who cross streets are at great risk from people
rushing home to latch-key kids. If one lane stops, drivers will go 50mph
to try and beat you to lane. It's maddening trying to cross NW blvd
between 3-5pm. There is no safety, it's extremely dangerous. people
texting at 50mph, rushing home and they think they own the road and
pedestrians and bikers be damned. Help!
Ps.
You People do a good job, I'm safe and enjoy walks along river. I'm a
Democrat but believe people are responsible for what they say and do.
I'm talking about 'good manners' and not rioting over every damn thing.
A fine line.
