| Anonymous Coward User ID: 7843669 12/17/2012 07:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Armed task force to patrol streets Quoting: Nika Police chief says citizens could be subject to ID checks In response to a recent increase in crime, Paragould Mayor Mike Gaskill and Police Chief Todd Stovall offered residents at a town hall meeting Thursday night at West View Baptist Church what could be considered an extreme solution — armed officers patrolling the streets on foot. Stovall told the group of almost 40 residents that beginning in 2013, the department would deploy a new street crimes unit to high crime areas on foot to take back the streets. "[Police are] going to be in SWAT gear and have AR-15s around their neck," Stovall said. "If you're out walking, we're going to stop you, ask why you're out walking, check for your ID." Stovall said while some people may be offended by the actions of his department, they should not be. "We're going to do it to everybody," he said. "Criminals don't like being talked to." Gaskill backed Stovall's proposed actions during Thursday's town hall. read entire article [link to www.paragoulddailypress.com] |

They can take their armies there to domesticate the locals. Violence will be needed to get them under control. Public floggings should also be allowed. |

Individuals who do not produce identification when asked could be charged with obstructing a governmental operation, according to Stovall. Sheep the moon |

We have corresponded with numerous residents and non-residents today alone who were both supportive and against our Street Crimes Unit and Town Hall Meetings. Some of the correspondance has caused us great pause in whether or not the meetings should remain as scheduled. As the police department, it is our duty to protect ALL residents and non-residents from harm. We feel that with the strong feelings on both sides of the Street Crimes Unit issue, a safe and productive meeting would not be the probable outcome. I am enabling the fair use law here for relating this information lol. Sheep the moon |

But at least they're doing something about the high crime. If you wanna stop them, form up a militia and go patrol the streets there yourselves to lower the crime rate.
