STOCKTON PD ASKS FOR HELP FOR ROUTINE POLICING

by Bob Walsh

The Stockton P D has more or less acknowledged that they are overburdened and have asked the San Joaquin County S O and the C H P to assist in routine policing in the crime-ridden shit hole.

It is right now very difficult to get a cop unless you have a body on the ground. The police do not investigate hit-and-run accidents unless there is significant bodily injury. They do not investigate thefts with a value of less than $2,000. They pretend to investigate armed robberies, but I am not sure I would bet on that. It's not that they don't want to, its just that they are so busy covering homicides that they don't have much time to do anything else.

Eventually the pendulum will swing back. It may, however, take a long while. Damn shame. This used to be a respectable, hard-working blue collar town with a significant manufacturing and AG base and a school system that at least taught kids to read, write and do basic math.

Now if you get thru school without committing a violent felony on grounds during school hours you get a diploma which is useful primarily for ass-wipe. There are something like 47 languages spoken by students in the school district. If you are an average or slightly above average English-speaking student you are pretty well ignored. If you are personally motivated you can still get a basic education, but it will be largely on you.

Homeless people start fires under bridges, damaging bridges. They shit in doorways. Their dogs run loose.

It truly sucks.
