Metro's Finest

Nov. 8, 2006 (LVRJ) "This is a great police department, and the men and women of Metro are the finest," Gillespie said.

Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2006 at approx. 2:30 pm Metro police car with two officers pull into the yard of a house that is vacant. They walked around to the back of the house. And about 20 minutes later got back into their car. As they were slowly driving south on South Maryland Parkway, they directed their bullhorn toward the City of Las Vegas public park, Huntridge Circle Park.

"Hey, you crackheads and prostitutes, stay off of the property across from the park."

They turned left at the first traffic light, and drove north on South Maryland Parkway, and then directed their bullhorn toward the park again, "Hey, you crackheads and prostitutes, stay off of the property across from the park."

Just what I wanted my almost four year old grandson to hear!

Many people, including myself, were very upset with this disturbance of our peace. All conversations came to a halt. And we were all wondering (nervously) what they were going to do next.

I wonder if this is normal procedure for Metro. I wonder if they use their bullhorn like this in the politicians' neighborhoods or on the Las Vegas Strip at a time when no crime is being committed.

"Hey, you crackheads, prostitutes, and gangbangers, no more shooting anyone on the Strip!"

ya right
