wasden

I was downtown last night and I could not believe what I saw. You may recall me writing a while back that The MPD had met with local business owners and let them know that cops would not be walking downtown because they did not feel safe even though they are armed with batons and guns. They instead would be taking to the streets on horseback, motorcycle, mountain bike and whatever else that would keep them detached from downtown patrons.

The Modesto Bee is reporting today that Police Chief, Roy Wasden will meet with a city council subcommittee today and is expected to ask for a camera system to monitor activity downtown. Every move that we make will be filmed and sent via a wireless network directly to police cars.

Here I go again speaking my mind...

"Be dumb and act stupid," is how Wasden described the hyphy mentality. "Have no respect for order or for rules or the law or anyone's property. … It won't be tolerated here."
