Repeal most of the stupid laws that are on the books and officers can really focus on laws that need to be enforced.

The stringent standards employed by most police departments mean they routinely reject 95 percent of their applicants, so to hire about 300 officers, 3,000 need to apply.Where I went to school, a 95% rejection rate of 3,000 applicants would leave 150, not 300 officers left.

Well, I'm not certain its just that. The sarcastic nickname 'Officer Friendly' was coined for a reason. Do't get me wrong--there are some top notch cops out there, and I don't envy the duty cops have to pull in urban areas. But, I've known personally some people who went into law enforcement who were total a**hats. Now they have the protection of a badge. Not a good advertisement for a career, especially when you see articles where the primary duty for cops is to stake out a fireworks stand in another state in order to confiscate property.

It sounds to me like San Antonio City Manager Sheryl Sculley is attempting to gain pity. I, for one, have no pity on the SAPD. After having worked here as a Paramedic and witnessing the way the SAPD treated people in emergency situations, I won't have a thing to do with them.

And yet, in virtually every city, 2-3 cars respond to every broken tail light!
Traffic "enforcement" is #1 priority, recovering stolen property, busting drug dealers, etc. is WAAAYY down the list.
Issuing tickets is revenue, combating serious crime is expensive.
