        not admirable by any means, but certainly a far cry from the 80s. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 20:19 2
        
        I just remember from the book Homicide: life in the streets the detectives saying, well if you think its bad here, be glad you're not working DC where - zeitgeist Jul 18, 20:22 1
        
        well, there you go. -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 20:43
