Great! That way they can legally be exempt from all the traffic laws, all the time (not that this changes anything).

"Anything that contributes to a sense of security, to a sense of police presence really matters," Graham said.

This ain't your forefathers America.

I was going to suggest they keep their sirens on all the time, too. To reassure the blind and people who keep their curtains drawn.

It is really distracting trying to drive in S.C. now with all the flashing lights.

I was going to suggest policepersons of foot blow their whistles, but I haven't seen such a creature around here in years.

I was wondering what was going on yesterday while driving on 14th Street . . . three police cars w/flashing lights, but no sirens. Very weird.

[Larry Lucido]

Why stop with the cars? Let's make the uniforms a little more "visible" too.

[Lee Enfield]

So, you're saying that the D.C. police are all flashers?

[jmax]

Wow......imagine what it will look like around the local donut shops !!??!!??

[river rat]

Perhaps we should issue black berets to all police, also..
That might make them more efficient and fearsom! The Sec. of the Army thinks that way..

Will the D.C. police turn their lights off when parked at the Donut shops.?

Washington D.C. is a failed city..
It would colapse without Federal (taxpayer) charity..

Can you believe that the D.C. clowns think they deserve to be named a State!

"I saw that over in Israel when I was there and it's for the same reason: people were very afraid because of the bombings and things of that nature," Ramsey said.

Ramsey's message is thus that crime in DC is out of control, with citizens in a constant state of insecurity unless they see law enforcement. Sad for Israel, repugnant for America.

[Bullish]

Pandering to liberals' emotions.

Guess I'll look into investing in bulbs.

[Endeavor]

Ramsey is an idiot. After his bungling of the Chandra Levy investigation, I'm surpised he hasn't won the Barney Fife award.

The security guards at the local mall do this. I contend it was to warn any crooks lurking nearby to beat it and wait until the guards pass before they break into your car.

[weikel]

Great scare the crap out of everyone constantly.

They are seeking security from the criminals who want more than the wellfare state will give them but who don't want to work for it.

[cynicom]

Surely the criminals will be scared silly.
