What do YOU think the cops should be doing with their time?
Include percentages or fractions if you like .Feel free to offer different opinions of what different types of cops should be doing, such as town, county ,state and governors police.
For example ,
state troopers...25% highway patrol 1/4 drug interdiction. 2/5 burglary investigation. one tenth donut research.
village constable......

Most likely, wait a while after a thread like this one hits the board, from my past experience...

Well its according who you are speaking to,and the point you want to make.For instance it seems Washington has somehow forgotten English thats spoken by most Americans, and now it seems,only understand Spanish speaking Americans.
Especially those who want illegal aliens to keep coming across the border and hopefully made legal .Oh, those illegal aliens speak Spanish pretty good to,that is unless they are being questioned for breaking the law,then they have a nature to freeze up and keep silent and even forget where they come from..We must be the only nation in the world that will allow even illegal immigrants to bring their own language with them, and we will start throwing ours out and start speaking theirs.You can't get any friendler than that.
Oh, about to forget,it must be some kind of miracle,but every single illegal does know a few english words,such as free medical,free schooling,free food,and freedom to stay here forever if they can have a little baby here.
Washington is also pretty good speaking and understanding arabic (I THINK)Whatever the language of our enemies who would like nothing more than to kill us all.Washington understands them so well, if they asked permission to build a Mosque on every street corner,it would be granted.I guess their language has a way of hypnotizing its listeners.

And crime is not necessarily speeding unless they are putting someone at risk of injury to person or property.

Is that a version of English? Kind of like Eboneze the street language used in Black ghettos? At least it has been called that on more than one occasion.

Windy, I think you mean Ebonics . . .

If I ask a question here, I fully expect most of the answers to be way off base because people do not read the whole post, or they respond based on what someone else responded, until my original question has been lost.
It's the internet. That is how I figure it anyways.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. My neighbor's dogs bark at all hours of the night and even though I have called and complained to them, the dogs continue to bark. The neighbors have even adopted even more dogs, so every night it's a chorus of barks the WHOLE night long. I'm at my wit's end!

May that is a way to deal with a trolling post.
It is not a a manufacturing job. It is different every day. It is reactionary for the most part. Sure, there are scheduled taskes to do but, they are few and far between.
I'm sure you would just love someone commenting about your job and making recomendations on how to do it from someone that has not a clue as to what they are talking about.

People say the same thing all the time when we talk about the military. We shouldn't criticize because it's their job, not ours. I'd agree if our taxes weren't paying their salaries. Hmm, maybe we should leave politicians alone as well....

The problem is not the internet. It's humans.
You are human, and you had unreasonable expectations that people would read your post and give you the answer YOU wanted. Not reasonable, but normal human behavior.
The humans that read the post responded with info from their own personal histories instead of answering the question. The responded to the topic, not the question. Normal human behavior.
I'm firmly convinced that human behavior is the problem with many things that we rant about. It's not Congress, socio economics, or text messaging that's the problem. It's humans and their behavior.

The OP was not a specific criticizing post. It was a time management/ staffing and cheap shot post. I ignored the cheap shot and addressed the time and staff management issue.
Please advise me where or how to obtain knowledge by simply paying taxes. I pay and enormous amount every year and I still don't know dick about operating a boiler or how to operate a train or servicing a nuclear power plant and I would not begin to advise them what to do with their time.
We have far too many people in government that think they know what they are doing. One big one comes to mind.
And ....."maybe we should leave the politicians alone as well...
How do you think our country got into such a shape as it is in? They have been left alone for decades. Any moron of age and even dead people vote.
Voting is merly a prelude to Your responsibility as a citizen to hold your elected representitive accountable and be informed of their actions.
Far more people know the names of all the "contestants" on Dancing with the Douchebags then the names of those that have been elected to represent them.
Hope this clears some confusion on where I stand.
