Twice in One Week....

Well, OPD - you done did it again. Yup. Yesterday morning on the way to work, yet again a fresh new batch of "traffic control" (or as they tell the radio - SPEED CONTROL") was out in force, this time led by not Mr. Village People Cop, but Roscoe. Guess he's steppin' up in the world. And Roscoe thought he was slick; boy had on a blue windbreaker covering up his uniform acting all covert with his little surveyor tripod and walkie talkie - telling people who and what to pull over. Same scenario as last time with them walkin' through traffic and aggressively flaggin' someone down. Give. Me. A. Break. Roscoe needs to learn how to act a bit more stealthy. Like, I don't know - switch up the exits - wait.. would that be perhaps infringing on the State Troopers' jurisdiction? Ahhh... I see - if you guys are up far enough on I-4 near downtown the Staties won't bat an eyelash. Ahhhh... okay. Well, I vote for y'all to cut the crap.

Again, thanks to Roscoe & friends, this gal was 32 minutes late. Mr. Dyer - accordingly, please remit a check to those people that were late due to your "speed control project". Obviously, by your crew walkin' through traffic there was no "speeding" going on. Moreso - mostly minor traffic violations, seat belt checks, registration checks and "allegations of suspicious activity" which, in Florida speak is "that one don't look right". Such the good ol' boys network down here. Seriously - OPD needs to be fighting crime on our streets. Our murder toll is already way too high. I think making sure people's seatbelts are fastened securely is important, however I think you need to prioritize and solve the crime problem on Parramore and OBT. Your cops are parked right by OBT - perhaps they might want to take a walk back DOWN the hill and do what us taxpayers request (and pay them for) - fight crime, not traffic.

Also - one way to cut down on your budget and over-expenditures - WE DON'T NEED A NEW ARENA! Better yet - let's update the one we have. I know you love knockin' down the buildings ala Tonka Toys style, but dayum. Enough is enough! Even the homeless are pissed.

Let's see if Roscoe or VPCop make an appearance next week.
