Farmers get up with the sun, and leave the fields when it is dark, during planting and harvest times. They did fine, long before daylight savings.

More police officers on the streets is the biggest problem. More cops will at least put more criminals into the revolving door of the justice system and off our streets for a little while. It seems we are keeping up with correct amount of firemen. FJB Keep boycotting Bud Light we winning.

Note the full case of Bud Light in the dumpster in the picture above. Go woke go broke Bud Light. But I thought you are supposed to separate the cardboard from the aluminum into different recycling dumpsters. Has this changed or are all the dumpsters overflowing and people put where they can?

The mayor kneels before BLM mob chanting anti-police slogans, the City orders cops to stand down while intersections and streets are blocked by illegal marches, City Council instinctively sides against the police before an investigation is even started, how much more support for cops do you want?

Not only are pay and benefits low, the officers need to know that the Council and elected leaders support their efforts to protect and serve. Our officers need to be well compensated but also know from the beginning of their career what is expected of them as police officers here in this city.

Absolutely not. The are the only line of protection between law abiding citizens and the thugs that the city administration so dearly loves and protects.

The city needs to hire more LEO's to keep track of the blooming homeless population, that the city keeps enabling. The State of the City address will ask for more money for the homeless amid a Police shortage crisis. The mayor will arrive in a clown car with other clowns.
