Ceetee, I agree with this! Now tell me again how hassling people peacefully eating their dinner after the manager has informed the police that there is no trouble is "taking pride in their civic responsibilities and being proactive in fighting crime at its source?"
I guess your posting has me a little confused.
I always thought that police, in order to detain someone, needed, at a minimum, a reasonable suspicion (and it has to be one that they can articulate) that a crime has been or is about to be committed.
Silly me!
We want police to take pride in their civic responsibilities, and be pro-active in fighting crime at it's source.
