A Police Story.

After reading this scroll down and be VERY sure to read Kevin's note on how the Dems are working to increase the funding of the Teacher's Industrial Complex.

Anyway. A buddy of mine was in, IIRC, Tuscon living and working. He was out puttering around the garage and he noticed every now and then a BB would come rattling around in his garage. He never could see who it was plinking at him with their BB gun but he came up with an idea. He called the police and told them it might put a scare into some children who need a good scare. He made sure that he told them what was happening was minor and in the end not a big deal. He then goes back to his chores outside.

About an hour or so later multiple squad cars come rolling up and the police therein burst out ready for a bad situation. My buddy explained to them everything he told the person on the other end of the phone call and that was the end of it. My buddy wondered, if they thought the situation required multiple squad cars with police officers ready for a serious situation, why did it take them so long?

In the end the ruling against the restraining order lawsuit is not about restraining orders it is about people having to take responsibility for themselves and their protection because the police can not do a whole lot until a crime has been committed and by then it is too late.
