No, "driving by gas stations all night long" is not my solution. Being a competent police force is my solution. Not scapegoating the victims of crime and actually doing something about the criminals is my solution. Abandoning all efforts at community policing and simply demanding no buisiness take place after dark is not even remotely a solution to the problem and simply illustrates that an EFM can not arrive soon enough.
