		<description>THIS is what I AM TALING about PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

The Republicans LOVE BLACK PEOPLE!!!

I HAVE black FAMILY MEMBERS!!!!!!!!!!!

MIKE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BILLINGS, Montana: Former Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said Wednesday Barack Obama&#039;s bid for the White House is not being derailed because he is black, but because his former pastor does not want him to show the country&#039;s race relations have progressed.

Obama, a Democrat, has struggled in recent weeks to distance himself from incendiary comments made by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

&quot;His (Obama&#039;s) campaign is not being derailed by his race, it&#039;s being derailed by a person who doesn&#039;t want him to prove that we have made great advances in this country,&quot; Huckabee told reporters.

Wright has claimed AIDS was created by the U.S. government to kill &quot;people of color&quot; and that the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks were spurred by the United State&#039;s &quot;terrorism&quot; against minorities at home and abroad.

&quot;Jeremiah Wright needs for Obama to lose so he can justify his anger, his hostile bitterness against the United States of America,&quot; Huckabee said.</description>

		<description>You are correct, Demonbeck. 

Send me to Brunswick and the town&#039;s criminals will be placed on the endangered species list next to the Chinese (they were placed there at the end of Season 6...)</description>

		<description>I have a couple of close friends that live in Brunswick. From what I&#039;ve been told (and seen), crime within the city limits is very real and very dangerous. 

This program is an example of the ridiculousness of some &quot;community policing&quot; programs. 

In most cases, such programs transform police officers into glorified social workers in order to &quot;build trust&quot; with the community. The problem is that the police officer&#039;s role is to suppress crime, not play Mr. Feel Good.

Getting back to Brunswick, this program is not a good idea. Putting old men in quasi patrol cars wearing quasi police uniforms? C&#039;mon! The best way to get citizens involved is through programs such as a &quot;Citizen&#039;s Police Academy&quot; in which officers teach citizens what to do after a crime, how to be more observant, etc. etc.

A better response for the city would be to 1) recruit a few more officers (&quot;a few more&quot; being the key phrase) 2) implement the Compstat process so that the police will be able to pinpoint &quot;hot spots&quot; and, in turn, be able to suppress city crime with their limited resources.</description>

		<description>Erick: Brunswick (and Glynn County) actually do have a surprisingly high crime rate according to the local judges. Add to that the fact that supposedly the City of Brunswick only has 3 officers on patrol at night.</description>

		<description>Sheesh, if you have enough spare time on your hands to be a &quot;volunteer cop&quot;, why not just be a &quot;paid cop&quot;?  The departments in Norcross and other parts of south Gwinnett can&#039;t fill their vacant jobs... and Atlanta PD is hurting so badly, the last time I drove to south Georgia I saw billboard ads for lateral transfer opportunities.  

It sounds like we have a severe shortage of cops in high-crime neighborhoods where they&#039;re actually needed, and a surplus of people wanting to play cop in low-crime neighborhoods where they&#039;re not really needed.</description>
