crime is up and it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. LMPD is soft as cotton and the criminals know it. They laugh at LMPD every time one of them gets busted for doing something dumb and it ends up all over the news. I work around these POS everyday and they have the rules figured out. Stop with the knock and talk and start busting down some doors. When I was a kid and a teen I was afraid of cops. Bring that back and crime will move on down the road.
