The New York Times this weekend ran a front-page story on how Camden, N.J., is disbanding its police force to get rid of its union.
The reason? Generous time-off policies have made it so that about 30 percent of officers do not show up on any given day. And high salaries mean the city can't afford to hire the police officers it needs to combat crime. If the city's plan works, it will replace 273 unionized officers with as many as 400 non-union officers.
Spokane, which has about three times the size of Camden's population, currently has about the same amount of officers — roughly 275 — as the smaller city.
The New York Times story — read it here — cites poor response to property crimes as one of the reasons more officers are needed. Sound familiar?

To the guys on the brakeless bikes. Yeah, it's cool you can keep up with
traffic and blow through lights we drivers have to stop for. Your bright
red tires are a spectacle I guess you just had to have. Oh, and way to go
skitching on that semi-truck up the hill, that was pretty
death-defying.Please don't threaten to spray paint my car when I shout at
you to get off the road, granted we do share the roadway, so I should get
over it. All in all, you make biking stupid look cool, I guess. Good luck
not dying in the winter.

Cheers to one of the most genuine and loving people I have ever had the
fortune to meet. Over the past two years, I have fallen deeply in love with
our friendship. You have taught me so much about respect, generosity and
enduring optimism. I will miss you dearly as you embark on your new
adventure to Colorado, although I am certain this relationship will stand
the tests of distance and time. Good luck, Erin. All my love, Mariah

Ok guys football season is here and many of us are looking forward to the
hours and hours getting together for the games at the favorite sports bar.
Please remember that the people serving you are excited about the season
too. But if your group comes in and takes up the seating area and orders
just a couple of drinks or just water and stays for hours, just think of
the effect your stay has on your servers income that they rely on to pay
the bills at home. I see it every weekend (as a customer) tables full of
guys mostly drinking water and the only thing on thier mind is the game.
When they are done they leave a few coins as a tip. The servers can't just
go to other areas in the room because you aren't ordering, they rely on
each table for their income. Please show some concern for these servers by
thinking of your effect on their income and tip accordingly or please just
stay home to watch the game. And really I am not a server, I am just tired
of seeing self centered people.

Thank you so much for coming to my aide and calling 911 when you found me
crashed on my bicycle on the north side. I don't remember a thing from the
moment I caught a pedal in a turn to the moment I was being cared for by
EMTs in the ambulance. Maybe I was unconscious when you came upon the
accident. I don't know, but you stepped up and took action on my behalf,
when I was not able. I am forever grateful. Thank you kind stranger.

You enjoy your (my) girl! and all the drama that comes with her! That
includes that debt that she is accumulating as you read this. The Fast Cash
US and Mobileloans people are calling me as a reference because she doesn't
want you to know. I, on the other hand am relieved and waiting for the call
for help. Hey, thanks old man! You deserve her, after all

I want to send a cheers out to Rich at Victoria's towing for getting up at
3 am and offer to help us out when we were locked out of our van. You were
a God send to us. We didn't know what we were going to do, but you said no
matter what you would help and get us back on the route. Your kindness was
so dearly appreciated. I know it is your job to do this, but under the
circumstances you could have said "no" like so many others did, but you
pulled through for us. Thank you so very much.

"Harrington, I'm gonna miss you when you move to Japan. Thanks for the good
times. You've inspired me to continually challenge myself, and face my
fears. Believe it or not, I've learned a lot from you. Be safe."
