]]> Comment on Quality of Life Policing Has a History of Not Solving Anything by Jeann Williams-Barif http://www.westernmasscopwatch.net/2008/06/16/quality-of-life-policing-has-a-history-of-not-solving-anything/#comment-171 Jeann Williams-Barif Sat, 13 Sep 2008 20:00:50 +0000 http://www.westernmasscopwatch.net/?p=61#comment-171 I am all for the quality of life, but what I dislike about it is that the individual who is the prime suspect in an ordinance violation continues to get off with numerous warnings over a period of 8/07-current. The person plays dumb like she doesnt know that there is an ordinance in place but we were in court numerous times and court order issued by the judges and she continues to play loud music, her dysfunctional kids slamming doors, bouncing basketballs in the house, fighting, kicking doors because the kid is being locked out, swearing like two sailors and a pirate on a ship daily, and loud music i can not stress any more, and loitering around the premises, known drug dealers and party goers and weed smoking, fumes come in through my window where my 5 month old sleeps. Kids of all ages from preteen-adults behaving badly. I am tired of this. The girl has to the end of Sept 08 but until then she is going to make things difficult unless the landlrd does something and now cause the end of the month is a couple of weeks away but its too long for me to stand I am liable to do something to make me become someone's cell mate. I live on Genesee St., Springfield MA I have made numerous calls to the non-emergency number from last year until recent she received one citation which she is trying to fight. When she knows full well she had her music blasting and left her house and her mother refused to answer the door. I have had it up to here *&&^^%$$#$%@^#^*&@^#(*#&$*( with this nasty chick. Police has been to my door looking for a hispanic male 15-16 accused of robbing a store and he was ratted out as the suspect. They were in the house but refused to open played like they werent home. five cars came looking for him and searched the parameters.When police left they turned back up the music and turned on the lights. The mother Carolyn Saldana is unfitt to take care of a pet bird.

Just because you shop at the mall doesn't mean you have any idea what its like to live in this welfare loving, crime ridden, shit hole of a town.

This is off your policies---does this include the poeple you protect in shooting innocent by-standers and non-weapon carrying civial servants?

Should they have to worry about being injuried by someone who thinks it is funny or a sport to aim at those in uniform? IF someone takes a unprevoked swing at another doesn't that person have a right to protect themsleves? What about the rights of the Cops, Fire and EMS?
