More cameras? I think I hear Alex Jones' bullhorn in the distance again. Oh, (Big) Brother...
If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about! /sarcasm
Oh, the sexual abuse was only by older boys in the FLDS compound? In that case, carry on.
EXTRA EXTRA!
What's the citizen procedure for firing an idiotic police cheif that thinks he's still in California where people value their safety over their liberty?
APD officers came to our NA annual meeting to talk about the cameras. The money is coming from a Homeland Security grant. They admitted to us that even though they already make lots of arrests in these areas, the problem is getting the cases through the clogged court system without them getting dismissed. So what will the cameras do to help that, we asked. Um....
If the cameras chase the crooks to another town, the chief said, "So be it."
So what Art is saying here, folks, is that he wants all the transients, all the ne'erdowells, all the crackheads and prostitutes and violent mental cases to move their business to the rich neighborhoods where there are no cameras.
That's the gist of it as I can tell.
