POLICE OFFICER CANDIDATES USE OF TAKE HOME CARS- DRIVING THEM TO AND FROM CAMPAIGN EVENTS, ( even if "just on the way to or from work, sites, etc)- January 23rd, I filed an election board complaintregarding police officier /candidates for political office. It has been my observation, and several previous election board complaints- ( bender for council; Joyner for sheriff; ; and a hoopla over congresswoman Jill long having police officers in her campaign materials. Since a police officer who is isued a "take- homepolice car"- is always on duty- and required to respond to police calls; AND- even an off-duty police officer can arrest someone/issue a ticket/citration, etc- or while observing a crime in his presence- this calls into question Indiana laws; and local rules about when is a cop on or off duty? when is a cop allowed to use their cop car to drive to and from campaign events, etc? I received a reply from the law firm of Haller/Colvin- signed by COUNTY ATTORNEY JOHN FEIGHNER( who it seems to me by representing a county police officer; as well as being employed by allen county- last i recall could have a conflict of interest, and appears imrpoPer to me)- in which the INDIANA LAW STATUTE- 3-14-16- appears to say that its ok to publish and distribute campaign materials with the campaigning candidate in his uniform. Given the unclear distinction about when a cop is on or off duty, then it follows logically- that wearing the official uniform - is an ON-DUTY JOB FUNCTION( as compared to being off duty- when a cop normally doesnt wear his uniform, while say- mowing his lawn, going shopping on leisure time; or other non- police related, off duty daily life routines. Not to be absurd to point out absurdity- but what would it be called if a police officer wore his uniform while engaged in "50-shades of gray" type marital activities-with official handcuffs, night stick, or other props? seems like a form of disrespect of the same uniform. CONVERSELY- a political candidate- who is not a official police officer- without state issued badge, and so on- the wearing of a accurate police uniform, of the same jurisdiction- could be rightly arrested for impersonating a police officer? or- wearing an official police uniform similar in appearance- of some far away jurisdiction. ? AND- what of Actors- wearing accurate police uniforms, or "flashing" highly accurate appearing police badges in theatrical performances? AND- THE SAME WOULD SEEM TO APPLY AS TO POLICE CARS AS WELL. we have all heard of instances of "wannabe cops"- with motor vehicles that appear to be official police cars- being cited by cops for impersonating police vehicles/cops? or say someone had a highly accurate motor vehicle- which by all cursory appearances seemed to give the impression of a REAL COP CAR? AND- what of stores selling t-shirts that are printed with "sheriff; police; swat; bomb squad, and so on? DOES THAT CONSTITUTE ANY VIOLATION OF LAWS? so my point is- that official police officers who are also political candidates- should be removed from their police cars; during their periods of political activities( such as a cop stopping offf to pick up, or drop off campaign materials "just on my way to or from work"- AND THAT POLICE OFFICER CANDIDATES "take-home cop cars" milage/GPS readings should be recorded, docum,ented, and sworn to by the officer driving said police car- for the reasons i stated above- that the distinction between on duty; and off duty activities and responsibilities that go along with that TAXPAYER ISSUED, AND PAID FOR COP CAR- do on provide for the appearance of impropriety; or result in an "in-kind" contribution to a particular candidates political; campaign.. I therefore ask the election board to NOT DISMISS THIS ELECTION CAMPAIGN COMPLAINT; to request that GOP Gladieux for Sheriff facebook pager; and web site-xyzhttp://gladieux4sheriff.com/ and xyzhttps://www.facebook.com/Gladieux.for.Sheriff scrub their sites of official police uniforms used by candidates in political campaigns; and a statement be issued by coiunty council; or sheriff dept- as to the rights, responsibilities, and statutes with respect to take- home cop cars being driven to and from campaign events.. Mr feighners letter speaks of the terms "recklesslyand/or reckless" - wording in aforementioned Indiana code. well- to repeat a term- "what is "IS"?- what is reckelss/recklessly? AND- lastly- the county attorney- speaks of a police officer being photographed in front of an official police car. so- If a candidate oh- say - was being "theatrical- and dressed as BATMAN"- WITH A SIGN "TAKE A dent out of crime( which a recked cop car would have- dents?- anyway- seriously- a photo- in fromt of a black , tintwindow sheriff's dodge charger( which looks slightly like a plausible BATMOBILE IS very different than someone -a civilian poilitician- in a plausible y official looking county police uniform- photographed by a random cop car parked by a curb; and the same- for a REAL COP, photographed in fromnt of a REAL COP CAR- parked randomly PARKED- or COULD EVEN BE HIS OWN PERSONAL TAKE-HOME COP CAR- like a TOMBSTONE MARSHALL BEING PHOTOGRAPHED BY HIS PERSONAL HORSE?- the point being - that for attorney feighner- to conflate a cop in a photo with a cop car( not his own, or maybe so)- with driving a take home cop car to and from campaign events- is a misdirection.. AND- given the fact that so many police officer candidates for office- are dimly aware of state election laws- i wouls suggest/imply- that said violationbs have ALREADY HAPPENED- AND BY TRACKING GPS; MILAEGE, AND DALIY LOGS- ONE COULD DEdUCE through simple investigation if a violation has or hasnt occured. so in coinclusion- as MAYBERRY SHERIFF BARNEY FIFE IS FOND OF SAYING- "NIP IT IN THE BUD"- correct the violations that i contend have already happened- web sites; facebook pages, published campaign mateirlas that seek legitimacy through the wearing of a police uniform-which gives an unfair advantage to the cop; or a civilian candidate- risking breaking the law- to publish campaign mateirlas - acting a role as a plausdible legitimate police officer- for political speech purposes? I REQUEST THE ELECTION BOARD ENTERTAIN A MEETING already scheduled in the near future- to discuss this issue for establishing again WHAT "IS " IS ( reckless/reckleesly) etc- AND- to set a precedent of guideleines for future campaigns. example- is it improper for FWPD chief- Marty bender- to wear HIS POLICE UNIFORM while presiding over a city council meeting? or for county councilman Kevin Howell to wear HIS former MARINE UNIFORM while on-duty at a county council meeting? I think i have stated what i would say at a duly convened ACEB meeting- aired in public( instead of behind the scenes. IF THE ACEB decides to dismiss this campaign complaint- they should oinly do so- after a PUBLIC MEETING, AND AFTER A PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF THIS M,ATRER, in the interest of good governance, clean campaigns, and transparency. thank you for your indulgence in this matter. sincerely, David C Roach; civilian, resident, registered voter and taxpayer of Allen county; Indiana

 i see you have a scheduled meeting march 14th. that would be fine. i would like to have this issue on the agenda, as its NOT FRIVOLOUS; IM SERIOUS- and- its important, relevant; and addresses an ongoing issue; and confusion over the statute- given the fact that several previous complaints have been filed, and controversey over this issue through out the years past.. thank you for your indulgence in entertaining this discussion.

1-08-2014- FILED FOR DEMOCRAT FOR SHERIFF-
David C "Legalize Marijuana" Roach


https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV_yd-n0OpdPjlO96SqqIJMHi7uFwN5ASCMDPZVP6pvWAAKZEqDvfMxhaQaEmif9pllWT_9uXTlMsYggGd9HIyFHY1EfIdq6lGkg_1yC5LW6arpH_PGhNTeJ_ZsWVK-FKYZuoFbZdoeGg/w594-h792-no/1023001633_0001%255B1%255D.jpg
HERE'S SOME IDEAS FOR REFORM:

hi! I took your advice- filed to run for DEMOCRAT  sheriff ( again. 25,00 fort wayners cant be wrong- even if they are likely strauight DEMOCRAT VOTERS. issues? legalize marijuana- save tax dollars; less govt, more freedom, lower taxes, focus on the truly dangerous, not stoners, weekend social drinkers, taillight/turn signal scofflaws, etc..
1-  use the office to LEGALIZE MARIJUANA IN INDIANA- just like a dozen or more states in the USA; and more across the world.. COLORADO ; CALIFORNIA; AMSTERDAM- seem like nice places; with stoner; and the tax money would fill some INDIANA STATE GOVT GAPS..

1-A-all marijuana confiscated in drug raids - WILL BE LEGALLY SOLD TO COOLORADO ( lol..)- with any PROFITS ACCRUING TO THE POLICE MOTORVEHICLE OPERATIONS /PURCHASING ACCOUNTS.. ( saving tax dollars outside the box..)

2 . NELSON PETERS MONEY PIT-   "A NOUN, A VERB; AND 9-1-1.."( derisive comment about NYC Mayor Guliani)- this issue- the 9-1-1- dispatch center has sat and been talked to death since 1996, or so; then miraculously- the world stood still - about 2 days after i filed for sheriff in 2010.. hmmmm. SINCE THEN,  this center/issue has cost tax payers millions of dollars, hundreds of problems, and the easiest, simpilest thing- busting out the glass between the 2 basement offices( soon to be moved to the ?? 5th? 6th floor of the ED Rousseau POLICE STATE FORTRESS HQ- )-

anyway- MORE AND MORE MONEY WANTED, DISPATCHER LABOR TROUBLES; A NEW 9-1-1- TAX/SLUSH FUND- do we really know where the money is going?

3- stalled talks / no progress on combining the city and county PD into a coordinated/cooperative METROPoLITAN POLICE DEPT- with buy in from New Haven; etc- other safety entities.
Indianapolis envy- is strangely absent with this issue- the IMPD- along with UNIGOV- is the DICK LUGAR GOLDEN GOVT AWARD-  which vaulted him from a mediocre school board member, to average mayor; to Senator- every foreign policy failure in the last 30 yrs has DICKS SIGNATURE/FINGERPRINTS ON IT-  due to his slot on the SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE CHAIR.. , hmmmm.

4- JAIL STAFF SAFETY /SECURITY - how many other incidents happen where guards are viciously assaulted, permanently maimed/impaired; and hospitalised ? what can we do to solve the problem- to prevent this kind of incident from happening again. granted- JAILS; PRISONS, THE DOC; JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEMS are not happy places- but i watch enough JAIL ( spike- comcast "47"; and MSNBC LOCK-UP- INDIANA- to get some insight on the day to day issues.

5- EDUCATION- KEEPING KIDS FROM EATING PILLS FROM THEIR PARENTS MEDICINE CHEST- and overdosing; ditto for the parents- how to keep kids from getting high on dangerous pharmaceutical drugs- obtained freely; easily, and all to frequently- from adults; and DR FEEL-GOODS  HAPPY PILL EMPORIUMS..

6- FUN FUN FUN-D RAISING- "TASER THE SHERIFF"- 5 BUCKS A TICKET-  money to go to SHERIFF GUN SAFETY/EDUCATION; TARGET RANGE/TRAINING FACILITY AT ADAMS CENTER ( next to MOUNT GIAQUINTA TOXIC WASTE DUMP ..
DONT TASE ME BRO!!! OWWWWWWWRGGGGGGG. THUD( hitting ground, anddrooling on the carpet, while i sit and watch COPS -RELOADED.. ( movie line- agent colson- ironman 2..lol!!)

7- reconstituting sheriffs horse patrol-  TO use for the usual PR;PUBLIC SAFETY USES- CROWD CONTROL;  kids petting the horse; sitting on them; and patrolling the river greenways; ;downtown parks; and the usual historical sheriffs posse/horse patrol missions..

 8- NO MORE BEGGING FOR MONEY TO RUN A PROPER POLICE ORGANIZATION-  its embarassing to seeh the sheriff have to beg the cheapskate;tightwad; miserly tea party county council for basic operating expenses; either raise taxes, or only enforce the most serious of laws.. OR- BE INNOVATIVE-  and OUTFLANK THE  county council; and find the money by other means..

9- such as the hundreds of thousands of money paid to AADP; AND REDWOOD TOXICOLOGY AND FOR WHAT? seems like a good place to find lots of slush money?

10- A REWARD/BOUNTY FOR RATTING OUT CROOKED COPS;POLITICIANS, JUDGES, PROSECUTERS, AND SO ON  - AND ESPECIALLY DOCTORS PRESCRIBING  "HAPPY PILLS"   RECKLESSELY- to everybody; regardless of symptoms, etc.. NO ONE EVER DIED FROM OVERDOSING ON MARIJUANA.. and your corner pot dealer- goes to prison; whjile your DOCTOR FEELGOOD- with a MEDICAL DEGREE  ( from INDIANA UNIVERSITY around here)- gets off with a slap on the wrist; no fines, no prison.. no justice?

11. MOTORISTS- illegal /undocumented residents from elsewhere- who are otherwise law abiding( not out committing felonies, crimes, etc)- who are trying to be good citizens ; and so on- wont be ARRESTED, OR HARASSED ANY WORSE THAN THE REST OF US SAD SACK LIFER HOOSIERS ( lol)- are by our present POLICE.

12- JAIL INMATES WILL BE TREATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH HUMANE LEGAL TREATMENT; AND LAWS; AND NO WORSE THAN pow"S UNDER THE GENEVA CONVENTION.  nO MORE RIPPING OFF INMATES FAMILIES FOR PRICE GOUGING OF necessities, etc- FROM THE ajil commissary; FOOD  will be edible, ; with ample calories; and quality- . A reasonably content Prisoner/Inmate is less inclined to cause trouble than well- an angry ; hungry; irate INMATE..

13. A DECLARED MORATORIUM ON SHERIFF SALES OF PROPERTY/FORECLOSED HOMES- There are over 6500, or so vacant/foreclosed properties  becoming blighted; and a SHERIFF SALE- does nothing to raise the average property tax assessed valuation; home values, or the LOCAL TAX BASE. They create more problems than they fix.  BANKS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO SELL THESE DISTRESSED PROPERTIES AT FAIR MARKET VALUE; INSTEAD OF DISPOSING OF THEM FOR OFTEN- PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR TO SETTLE BANKRPUTCIES; DUE TO THE ECONOMY; HEALTH CARE BILLS- DUE TO LACK OF AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE; AND SO ON. BANKS, COLLECTION AGENTS, MORTGAGE COMPANIES; WALL STREET- ARE SHARKS.  why make it any easier for them? they have plenty of resources. IM GOING TO SSTNAD UP FOR THE LITTLE MAN; THE AVERAGE "JOE".

14- INMATE HEALTH CARE-  seems to be a major expense for the local JAIL SYSTEM- there must be innovative ways to maintain minimum health standards; without "breaking the bank". Our present Sheriff; and staff- well- they just dont care. And yes- Jail Inmates- are often not nice people; but they have rights; and many are either mentally deficient; mentally ill; substance addicted- hard drugs; alcohol; and so on. If we treat them aswell- Jesus said about the imprisdoned- maybe they will be able to change their hearts, and minds.. as for the SIMPLY MEAN ; EVIL  inmates- well- they have rights also, under the laws; and the laws have to be followed.   Most Jail Inmates- are simple screw-ups- doing their time- not bad people; just stoners; drinkers, minor petty ante misdemeanors; who casnt afford to buy their way out of jail..

more to follow- as issues are made aware to me, by friends, supporters, etc..
so thats a good start....

  David Christopher Roach IS THIS LEGAL? Im Certain that driving a take-home police car to any campaign events; or forums; or anything that is not official police business- ISNOT ALLOWED. As The law reads- Im Certain that Police Officers as Candidates SHALLDRIVE THEIR PERSONAL VEHICLES- not Publicly owned Police cars to campaign events of any kind.. AND-the reason Im questioning Campaign literature with a Uniformed Photo; is a few years back, congresswoman Jill Long got in trouble for appearing in a campaign commercoial; Literature with a couple of uniformed Police Officers; on e of whom I think I recall was a County Deputy of some kind.. anyway- Please treat this as a potential Election Campaign Law violation... AND- Please send a friendly reminder note to DEPUTY SHERIFF GLADIEUX- so He is aware of the restrictions of using Public owned take-home Police cars to any official campaign event.. thank you. https://www.facebook.com/Gladieux.for.Sheriff

PRESENTLY DEMOCRAT PRECINCTCOMITTEEMAN.
PAST REPUBLICAN PRECINCTCOMITTEEMAN
3RD DISTRICT "yr" SECRETARY.
WORKED FOR MANY POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS

ISSUES? IDEAS? STANDS? ASK ME SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.
MY PHONE NUMBER IS IN MY HISTORY, AND PROFILE.
i'M OLD SCHOOL- i DONT HAVE A CELL PHONE, NOR A LANDLINEOF MY OWN.
i'M CURRENTLY SEMI RETIRED, I'M A BLOGGER/PUBLISHER. i DO ODD JOBS FOR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS. i HAD A BUSINESS- AMERICAN CAPITAL ENTERPRISE FOR SEVERAL YEARS, BUT I LIQUIDATED IT A FEW YEARS AGO.
ALL MY TAXES ARE CURRENT, AND PAID UP.
MY CREDIT IS SHOT DUE TO THE ECONOMY. i HAVE NO FELONIES. i HAVE BEEN STALKED/HARASSED BY THE LOCAL CITY POLICE, AND VETTED BY THE ENTIRE ALPHABET SOUP OF LOCAL AND REGIONAL POLICE AGENCIES. , AND THE COULDNT PEG ME WITH ANYTHING TO STOP ME FROM RUNNING FOR OFFICE.
i HAVE ENOUGH MUGSHOTS TO MAKE MY OWN EDITION OF THE LOCAL MUGSHOTS/WARRANTS NEWSPAPER/TABLOID/ SUNDAY jg MOST WANTED ARTICLE.
I can pass a drug test. can you? can the sworn "officers of the court"?- judges? lawyers, prosecutors, elected politicians. cops?

My main issue is to make a metropolitan sheriff department- county wide- which will limit redundancyof administrative staff. I support opening the sheriffs adams center road firing range to the public, for civilian use, and firearms marksmenship/safety handlng/ storage , and applicable laws. I will put a moratorium on sheriff sales- due to recent wall street mortgage market legal paperwork processing problems.

And i will investigage political corruption charges regarding cherrymasters- which i noted in 1995 running for FTW city council. the governor pulled the plugs in 2005, but never investigated further- its not the crime- its the cover up- what did they know, and when did they know it? either they are all ignorant- didnt even know about it( not possible. Or they were incompetent( quite likely)- didnt know how to investigate properly)- or they are crooked- paid of /bribed to turn a blind eye to what was going on.
not to mention tax evasion( al capone) of all the operators, distributors, and the illegal cash flows into the system.
Ther is sufficient reasonable suspicion, and probable cause to convene a grand jury investigation, and to indict most of the legal system, criminal justice system, and political system in allen county, since at least 1995.
THIS INCLUDES THE PROCEDURAL ILEGALITIES OF THE CITY CONTROLLERS OFFICES, VICE AND NARCOTICS, AND THE PUBLIC SAFETY, LEGAL PROSECUTORS, OFFICES, AND SHERIFFS AND MAYORS SINCE AT LEAST 1995- POLICE CIEFS INCLUDED.
ITS TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE.
AS THE SAYING GOES"theres a new sheriff in town"....


DO YOU WANT A SHERIFF WHO WILL BE ACCESSIBLE THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA,E-MAIL, BLOGS, AND INTERACTIVE ACCESS-WHO WILL BE AVAILABLE, ON LINE- PUBLICLY, OR PCONFIDENTIALLY, TO ADDRESS YOUR CONCERNS- VOTE FOR ROACH.

My campaign blogspot- is a virtual listening tour to see what you want me to do as your sheriff. The current incumbent has no social media to hear you.
Tea party'ers, and conservatives talk about less government, and more freedom. so why dont they support legalizing recreational use of Marijuana, and other relatively harmless intoxicants, and aphrodisiacs, steroids, or HGH?
And declare drug testing for weekend/ off work drug use testing unconstitutional, according to search and seizure laws?
ALCOHOL IS A DRUG, PEOPLE, AND THERES LOTS OF DRUNKS IN FORT WAYNE.
Do the math- add up all the liquor store chains, supermarkets, corner pahrmacys, cinveneince stores that sell beer, wine, and liquor. ask the local excise, or department of revenue how much sales /excise tax the state makes from drug( alchohol) pushers.
Think about how much taxpayer money is wasted playing catch and release, and fine, and rehab, and lock up non-violent stoners, social drinkers, minor traffic law violaters, who for the most part are responsible, working tax paying workers, business owners, and so on.
OWI should be a civil infraction. why ruin a persons life for doing something legal- going to a state licensed drinking establishment, partying safely, and responsibly, and then being busted by the cops ( mostly city) for any trivial ticket they can right, or even make up? for instance- its a weekend nithg, after 9pm- reasonable suspicion that your out probably because you and your friends fit the profile of citizens who are out breaking laws, by social drinking.

think how much money could go towrds the state education system, instead of wasting cops time that should be better spent arresting dangerous, violent felons, and career criminals, and serving warrants on same.

If you want a sheriff who will prosecute, and investigate white collar criminals who prey on the poor, through mortgage rip-offs, and other wall- street schemes, and scams; and keep main street safe to party;
Vote for Roach.
If you support the constitution, regarding gun rights, and want a safe place to shoot in allen county- at the sheriffs firing range
Vote for Roach.
If you support the constitution, and civil rights laws, and that the police serve and work for us- the citizens; that you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law
vote for roach.
If you believe that inmates in the jail, who all have family members, who vote and pay taxes, and want to feel safe during your stay at the county Jail- Roach Motel-
because if you live in FTW long enough, you, or family, or friends,who are not dangerous felons, just social drinkers, stoners, and partyers; who support the constitution requirement for the humane treatment of prisoners,
vote for roach
If youwant to stop the reign of terror of the city police, the swat teams, the neighborhood code nazis, and opressive local government, VOTE FOR ROACH.
If you want results, not excuses in creating a county wide METRO SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT with accountability to the citizens , to protect your rights, your property, your families, from the forces of evil, either from wall street mandated sheriff's sales, or mainstreet criminal predators,
VOTE FOR ROACH
if you want a straight shooter downtown, to be your watchdog over the agents of opression- the crooked, ignorant, incompetent police, prosecutors, politicians, and other crooks,
VOTE FOR ROACH.

VOTE STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT


rebuttal to news-sentinel 10-20-2010 article " roach has no law enforcement experience"
fact check, please- you people are totally wrong. you neglected to check your archives/dossier about David roach, or even my on-line information, which is readily available. so is that defamation, libel with malice( your own newspapers contradict itself), or journalistic malpractice. whatever- you people have even less credibility than me. see- i even have a sense of irony, and humor..
hmmm. according to the indiana state constitution, a sheriff doesnt have to be a cop. I am a military veteran, which the current sheriff isnt. I have experience standing security patrols, and watches on board a US aircraft carrier. One of those duties is to maintain security because Navy ships may, or may not carry nuclear weapons.
and actually, veterans are supposed to have preference in hiring for cops according to state law. ( you go look it up- its there...trust me)
see my website:

and my blog:

for more about me.

I can drive a high performance car, and shoot many different firearms.
but the job of sheriff is mostly clerical, and administrative. computers, papers, pencils, desk. processing paperwork.
I'm sure the current sheriff would much rather be in the field, where things are more exciting.
besides, the democrats couldnt pull a candidate out of their hat, so its sour grapes for them.
I will use the office as a soap box for legalizing the recreational use of mairjuana, like prop 19 in california.
I will use the office to freeze sheriff sales, until the wall street mortgage bankers get their apperwork right, before i will auction off a property, that may not be in order, legally speaking.
I will investigae political/ and police corruption regarging the cherymasterr ackets that i exposed in the JG in april 1995, to which no politician, or cop has gone to jail, for failing to do their job.
Its not the crime, its the cover-up. what did the cops, etc, know, and when did they know it, and why did they fail to do their jobs, uphold the laws, as required by oath of office? either they are all ignorant, incompetent, or crooked, but there is substantial reasonable suspicion, probable cause, circumstantial evidence, and hard evidence- witnesses, paper trail, media reports, etc to convene a grand jury and bring indictments against all cops, judges, politicians, prosecutors, etc since at least 1995, ifnot before.

which brings me to my 3rd item- which is to put the crooked, corrupt city PD out of business, by pushing , in my usual method for a METRO SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, such as in INDY, and many other METRO pd's across the nation. here is redundant command staff, top heavy with administrative sworn cops that should be on the street, but if they had to do a foot chase, they would likely die from cardiac arest, due to flab.
regardless, we are paying too much for so-called public safety and clogging the courts with non-violent stoners, social drinkers, and other minor offenders, while there are over 6500 warrants out fricking standing ., and truly dangerous career criminals and violent felons running loose.
so the cops have nothing bettee to do than get massages from old asian women, and arrest cockfighters. ( playing with your food? looser meets col. sanders in a blood sport death amtch. according to PETA, they likely live and die better than a (mike? lol ) chicken. BBQ, broiled, or fried?
dont we have a drug houseordinance which is for illegal drugs houses, gamblng, and prostitution? why not use it? or delete it. whatever.
enforce the laws, or change them.
