I want to know how often these would be used if we didn't outlaw everything stupid kids tried to shoot up or smoke. I'm pretty sure Bloomington isn't a hotbed for kidnappings and stand offs. But federal money flows, and they gain more sway over local law enforcement and the towns they serve.
I'm all for cops going home at night. I just think it's funny how much money we spend on stuff that departments in these little towns will have to use for traffic stops just to show it's being used at all. Indy? Sure. Bloomington? Is the Dalai Lama threatening a military coup or something?
Jill Behrman was killed in Bloomington. Lauren Spierer was kidnapped in Bloomington and is presumed dead. There was a multi-page story in the Bloomington paper a couple of months ago illustrating just how bad the drug epidemic is in town. To the point, there are some bad folks roaming around this town preying on its residents. I have no problem giving police officers any tools necessary to fight these sickos.
I say this constantly, yes Bloomington is full of loons, but if you can get outside the city limits into other parts of Monroe County, you'll find tons of people with both wisdom and common sense. . .just like me.
