    This kind of bizarre, unsocialized and unlawful behavior makes being a law enforcement officer extremely difficult. These anti-police attitudes prevalent in some cultures will hurt them in the end.

    The good people of Canoe do not look favorably upon such ruffian debauchers creating mayhem Within their geographic confines.

    I agree with Hmmm. People are truly losing their minds. Maybe they should have had those minds renewed. Seems our society is imploding.
