Those who don't read history are doomed to repeat it
Okay, so I read about this proposal in the Eagle-Gazette:
One "COPP" or rather a COPP proposal for the commissioners. This Citizens on Patrol Program would cost taxpayers $103,000 for one coordinator/court house officer and refurbishment of old police cruisers. It also would put 73 civilians into these old cruisers with new stickers on the doors.
...
Are we expected to believe civilians, trained for 16 to 32 hours, are supposed to reflect our tax dollars at work?
Under this proposal, these civilians would be turned out into the field, in marked cruisers, checking private homes, taking accident reports and possibly looking into vandalism?
I mean... Come on. Didn't they see Police Academy 4? It even has the same name... Citizens on Patrol. Is this what we have to look forward to as more children of the 70's and 80's get positions of power? I sure hope not.
I love Steve Guttenburg, but the man is not fit to be a cop. The movie has a 3.8 rating on IMDB - that's almost impossible! Good luck, my fair home town. You will need it.
