[Vision2020] PR - MPD to Participate in Traffic Mobilization Enforcement

[Tom Hansen]

Mark your calendars, V-Peep . . . June 27, 2012 . . . the day that I, Tom Hansen, agreed with Mr. Arnold about something.

Like Mr. Arnold I remember times when Moscow celebrated Independence Day with fireworks and patriotic celebration. 

I am extremely disappointed to see Moscow, my adopted hometown, degenerate such community activities to nothing more than Linda Pall's Mutt Strut and Walter Steed expounding on his European vacation.  I doubt that ANY members of the Moscow City Council even know the names of the 126th Engineer Company's Company Commander and First Sergeant, let alone any of the other soldiers of that unit.

For that reason, I ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to attend this year's Independence Day "activities" in Friendship Square.  

Seeya round town, Moscow.

Now it is a battleground for drunks trying to get away with whatever they can and cops shaking every man, woman, and child down to write people up for every law and infraction broken. I liked it better when cops just surveyed to make sure people were safe and let the drunks know where the line was. I just stay home on the 4th now because it isn't worth it anymore.
