I dunno they "saved any lives". Prob'ly more'n a few kids ended up walking to school after that and they didn't help the image of Cops any. Or maybe not too much harm; nobody confused these guys with the SAPD.

SAPD DOES sit out in front of elementary and middle schools, enforcing the twice a day 20mph speed limit. But nobody minds that.

If they are going to write tickets for whatever, it applies to EVERYONE not just poor or middle class or rich.



Believe it, or not, it tough to work traffic in the inner city. Every car you stop has no (or fake) inspection, registration, insurance, etc., and the driver has a suspended license and warrants. There ain't enough cops in any city to do that.

The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
