avid 10/20/2012 11:57:21 AM ReportThis is really what our police system is involved with? Really? Someone got kicked in the leg and got a bruise and they get charged with assault? thats like play ground stuff... not a felony, and grabbing someones wrist and twisting it is also play ground stuff. Why are they wasting their time on this crap.
dob131 10/20/2012 2:26:02 PM ReportThey should be spending thier time dealing with the drug problem this city has. And i am not talking about POT .
moem 10/20/2012 3:30:24 PM ReportThis is not playground stuff!!! Abuse is wrong and it doesn't matter what form it takes there is no mention of victim details for example would it be playground stuff if it were a child victim? Or perhaps a child witnessed it, would that be okay? You are sick if you think it's a waste of police resources, police attending a break in where food is taken is more of a waste if you ask me....it scares me that I'm bringing up a child in a world where people actually think violence is ok... With the issues we have with bullying I think we have to take all of this stuff seriously and recognize the harm that violence, racism bullying, drugs and alcohol all have on our children
moem 10/20/2012 6:04:08 PM ReportFelony is an American legal term btw
frauleinbroomhilda 10/20/2012 6:21:02 PM ReportI think...in my own opinion, that any call to the police is a good call. It'll save someone from being harmed. Just because we don't think it's important enough doesn't mean that it's not important to the victim involved. Sometimes we have to think before we reply to these stories.
moem 10/20/2012 8:29:28 PM ReportWell said!!!
frauleinbroomhilda 10/20/2012 9:49:02 PM ReportMoem...when it comes to the law topics...I think you know what you`re talking about. Not that Ì`m educated in that field but you seem to have knowledge and fairness in your discussions. I respect that! Thank you!
