Dallas Police Seeking Reserve Officer Candidates

(DALLAS) - The Dallas Police Department is accepting applications for reserve police officers.

This is just great, more taxes for more petty law enforcement. Why not put in a billion parking meters in Dallas to aggravate the people that pay the salaries, benefits, pensions and perks of these people. It is out of hand. And as Johnny Cochran said, "Who is going to police the police?" Don't expect Internal Affairs to do it. They only prosecute cops that do not play ball with friends of Internal Affairs or as a favor to some political hack like a judge or local town supervisor. Real wages adjusted for inflation are not going up. Who in the hell is suppose to pay for this garbage of petty law enforcement? Make sure not to spit on the sidwalk, even if a bug flew in your mouth!
