Fishwife: Too Many CPD Blue Downtown

Fishwife: The black gloved, omnipresent CDA cops won’t win the incumbents any votes. I’ve never seen a town so saturated with cops. They are everywhere and need lessons in social diplomacy. A legion of blues show up for every city park encounter I’ve witnessed. They are not very polite and I feel unsafe around them.

Joker: I’d rather have more cops around then the legion of punks down at Independence Point who congregate, fight, and generally make a nuisance out of themselves. Ever been downtown after 10 p.m. on a weekend? Bunch of loudmouth drunks.Yes cops can be jerks. No doubt, but feeling unsafe? Come on. That’s just silly

Question: Would you rather have too many or too few Coeur d’Alene police officers downtown after 10 p.m. on weekends?
