I don't think the police can ever win.

If there are people cutting through neighbourhoods or speeding the cops are blamed for lack of enforcement, yet if they give tickets then they should be out trying to prevent "real" crime.

If officers give tickets to rafters on the Elbow they are being overzealous and should be spending their time on more important things. If they don't, then the traffic, littering and general unruly crowds on the river need to have something done about them.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.
Thank you!

Getting off work that day at 6:00, I had to walk down to Olympic Plaza. I was frustrated more because I had a heavy backpack and didn't want to walk that far, but I understood and didn't grumble at all. There were a lot of angry people on my walk from 6th street though.

You're right...the cops are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
