The question is "what is the solution?" In Seattle a lot of the downtown


street problems are related to homelessness, which as a city, state and country we have utterly failed to tackle. It is sometimes related to mental health issues, which again, we have utterly failed to tackle. It is related to drug abuse, same story. Cops can help move them, but they have to have a place to go. Busting their heads and sticking them in jail isn't the solution. Cops should remember to protect AND serve, not just go out and shove people around. I can see getting jaded if you're armed up like you're in Iraq and think everybody is the enemy, but that isn't an excuse. And the cops need help, not just handed society's problems and asked to solve them with their weapons.
