good policing
now_USA_resident | Sun, 2008-10-19 16:25
i applaud all the cops and detectives who disigned the raids and who implemented them. if they wear same uniform, i don't distinguish native sxm cops and those born in other countries. do you?
as far as the new commish - as you said yourself, he has to approve these actions. so, some credit goes to him too. you know, if things go bad and some innocent people get caught in the "cross-fire", it's the commish who's going to get the grief of the media and the island "activists."
maybe this IS the typical american reaction, but so far with 17 detentions in one night, i think the team "good guys" under the new coach is winning game 1. i'm hoping for the winning season and rooting for the team "good guys" no matter what country the team's manager is from!

P.S. please read www.sxmislandtime.com article. the 1st three paragraphs. IMO this is smart policing. this should be done more often.
