Given that Farmers Branch Police Department has been quite useless, I think it's high time to cut their donation stream.
Every year, various law enforcement agencies call citizens for donations.
I say, given that one police department is useless and undeserving of donations, then all of the law enforcement agencies should meet the same fate. If they call or write begging for money, don't give them anything of any value.
The police are supposed to serve and protect everyone. They are to enforce the laws for everyone. If you're not doing anything to stop a locale from turning ghetto, how safe are the more well-to-do people going to be when the ghetto is right across the street from them? Or right next door?
Or to put it another way, you want to stop a cancerous growth when it's small. You do not wait until the cancer has filled one lung and taken over half of the other.
Yet that's what FBPD does with London Square, they won't write citations for minor infractions (small cancerous growth). So they're willingly permitting the cancer to grow out of control until it takes over. They're wasting taxpayer monies and any donations they receive.
How many other police departments in America are "enforcement" by appearance only? It's time we were all smarter with our money. I think we can all bear to not donate anything to our local law enforcement agencies until things improve.
If any blog posting should go viral, it's this one.
