Is that because of Obama's Stimulus package, that brought more cops to the street? Created jobs? Gave america hope? or can we give Bush credit for this one? or do we Blame Bush for this one? Could it be those new black squad cars? Maybe those neighborhood picnics? just wondering...

Really, these Modern cities are so sleek, they have run the criminals off and made life...safe,while hard times,forces the crime bugs to die off in this neck of the woods....Then again...We are not living in Detroit or Newark...I will take the holistic cop over the corrupt ones....A/T, Crime and bugs.....Mother nature and man's worst friend's...

Well lets put it this way is was not due to the previous Dallas Police Chief, what ever his name was. Memba him? I wonder if he ever did get that job as dog catcher. I am going to hate the day that Kunkle gets hired by; Atlanta, New York, or where ever. It is only a matter of time.

He goes get the boots on the ground. He sure cleaned up the Park Lane just east of Greenville area about a year ago. Brought in the observation tower, mounted officers, and a total no BS attitude about making his mark. It was a sight to see. Even though that neighborhood seems to be sliding a bit, I know that Kunkle will come back around and crack that whip. That should be his nickname "the whip" especially when it comes to blond haired news reporters ;) Shhhhhh!!

I attribute this to Batman. I knew I was right to vote for him.

Thought I remembered reading about how they were basically going to start manipulating stats by the manner in which police handle reports. Did a quick search but quickly gave up...fairly sure this is simply b/c of presentation of data, I don't feel any safer anyways.
