Todays MPD consists of two 'townies' and the rest are from out of the area, most from distant states. They think of people as entities to give tickets to, they have no idea of who lives where or anything personal or anything about the families in town.
One of the 'townies' is responsible for some of that outrageous behavior pointed out earlier. He might be able to find a tree down without a 911 address, but he'd also bully the tree, blame the tree, use profanity to the tree, and remind the tree just who's running this town. Poor tree.
