Why shouldn't the police have been proactive??? They may have had no legal option to do otherwise...
Are you suggesting it would have been illegal for the City Attorney and/or police chief to have notified McCorporate of a potential liability and safety issue on their property?
I never even came close to suggesting such...Why should the city attorney feel the need to contact Micky D's & any issues of liability? More govt. intrusion? Did you change your sig line yet?
