The elected leaders of the FOP doesn't care.......I have heard them say it. Dave Mutchler, please share your thoughts on here..... 25,000 plus man hours a year on details is pathetic and dispicable.... There are over 3100 plus eight hour shifts each year wasted on details..... Mr. Mayor, Chief...... is anyone listening. WE WOULD LIKE TO RIDE OUR BEATS, WORK OUR ROBBERIES, RAPES, MURDERS, SHOOTINGS, STABBINGS, FATAL CRASHES, POLYGRAPHS, CRIMES AGAINST SENIORS AND CHILDREN, FINANCIAL CRIMES...... OUT OF CONTROL!!!!!

What you crimefighters don't understand is that crime in bad neighborhoods has always been a lower priority for city hall than the special event details. It's not an oversight or an accident. It's a conscious political decision to provide some entertainment for the citizens. Most of the daytime violent crime is in the bad neighborhoods nobody really cares about and most people consider normal.

Why so many details....Just watch Gladiator! Distract the people from the real issues...

GAIUS

Games! 150 days of games!

GRACCHUS

He's cleverer than I thought.

GAIUS

Clever? The whole of Rome would be laughing at him if they

weren't in fear of his Praetorian!

GRACCHUS

Fear and wonder. A powerful combination.

GAIUS

Will the people really be seduced by that?

GRACCHUS

I think he knows what Rome is. Rome is the mob. He will conjure

magic for them and they will be distracted. He will take away

their freedom, and still they will roar. The beating heart of

Rome is not the marble of the Senate, it is the sand of the

Colosseum. He will give them death, and they will love him for

it.
