"When I see cops in my neighborhood, I make sure they know that they aren't welcome. I don't appreciate the presence of roving gang members in their gang colors looking for trouble."
Very well stated. I feel the same way.

I'm curious how you make police officers feel unwelcome? I asked Clark the same thing, and he never answered.
How exactly do you do that?
just_me_mongo:
JT- I like the way that Citizen Clark wrote his thread. I feel the same way he does as for their general "presence" if you will.
I personally avoid their presence. I don't do anything to make sure that they know that they are unwelcome. My last encounter and my son's last encounter were enough for me to avoid them all together.

You interrupt a law enforcement officer in the performance of their duty and tell them to leave their "victims" alone? (Use of quotes is merely to denote your term, as opposed to anything else).
Now I'm really curious what the "etc" is. I'm also trying to think of how saying things like that will do anything other than make the police officers annoyed. Have you ever had an officer say "You know what, you are right. I should just let this guy go."
Has your actions made any difference to police presence in your area? (Last I knew, police patrols and such weren't based on anything like that, but maybe I'm wrong.) Or did they merely make certain that the cops were in a worse mood in your area?
I mean, if you don't want them around, wouldn't it work better to attempt to change staffing or patrol schedules, as opposed to annoying the officers who don't get to choose their patrol areas in the first place? Or do you think that instead of patrolling, they'll simply go hide elsewhere for their shift?

I had a dear friend who looked identical to your pooch, but Rascal weighed only 15 lbs. Big heart, lots of love. We rescued him from a puppy mill in York, along with a 9 lb sibling, Reba. The pair were full of ticks, worms, brucellosis, malnutrition and other problems. The mill was shut down. More than $3,000 later they were in excellent health and fine shape. Rascal developed diabetes. Reba had hip dysplasia that grew worse as she grew older. Eventually I had to carry her outside and hold up her rear end so she could do her business. because she couldn't navigate the deck steps. Eventually she couldn't walk at all.
They've been gone about 3 years and my wife and I miss them both.
