Good timing...TPD is writing fewer traffic tickets

and I will be there this weekend. Sweet.
Perhaps it is somewhat of a response to the roughing up of a motorist, or maybe it is just a smarter way to go about policing? The clerk of courts office is having to adjust to less funding. Somebody should tell Ferguson, MO that this is the way to go.

I think it is that TPD has more important issues to deal with these days. They had their 7th (I think, I have kind of lost count) police involved shooting since the begininng of 2014 this week. All have been cleared by a grand jury and rightfully so from what I understand. Tallahassee has gotten rough.

TPD needs to focus on the violence and the reason behind the growing violence in this town. It's starting to get out of hand for a town this small.

You're right. I'm in a safe area and the overall numbers are still small because Tally is a small town, but statistically TPD is doing a %+%* job.

Tally has double the murders, double the assaults, and triple the rapes of the national average. I looked at Gainesville to see if it was just frat bros being frat bros and in the assaults that's true as Gainesville is also double the national average, but the murder rate is on par with the national rate and the rape rate is "only" 1.5x the national rate as opposed to our over 3.

I'd like to see a map of where the murders (and officer shootings) have actually taken place.

I'm aware of the prof. who was executed in Betton Hills, but where could I find the addresses for the other instances in 2014 (or 2015 for that matter).

This week was at Lake Ella.
One on Tharpe close to Duval about a month or so ago.
Last year, Orange Ave, White and Tenn., one close to Fred George (LCSO Deputy was killed in this one), one close to FSU and one at Strozier. I think there was another one behind the Gate station on Tenn.

I the key variable between the two rhymes with Shamoo (sorta).
