Don't drag politics into this, it has no place in this thread.
1)People like to complain about government, but it doesn't show up on their radar screen until letters are written and complaints filed. Care to take an educated guess as to how often THAT happens?[/b]
About as often as with anything else, including businesses.
2)Anything that consumes my tax dollars (hence the police department) invariably has politics attached to it.
You might like to think that's not the case, that the department is immune to politics, but if so I have some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell... (and check out the DC police sometime).

Sure, there is politics in any form of Government. However, you are attempting to slyly change the focus of the discussion here. Sorry, not going to work. That post of yours that I referenced was a troll, plain and simple.
