Waldo PD, a PD that exists as the ONLY source of income for an entire incorporated "city" which should not even be incorporated. Yes, speeding tickets pay the entire towns bills.

They RAPE, PILLAGE AND PLUNDER anyone driving through town. A total disgrace to law enforcement.

They are coming here during the RNC? God help us...

Sure enough here's a link to a lishttp://www.wmnf.org/news_stories/tampa-city-council-splurges-on-officers-for-republican-national-conventiont Another good one: Florida Division of Insurance Fraud?
Notice how Largo PD isn't on it. Save us some gas money and tell the Waldo cops to stay home and send a couple of Largo Police instead.

Waldo PD needs not step one foot outside of Mayberry... Are they going to let Barney put bullets in his gun?

They might not step one foot out....might lock themselves in their own jail just like Barney did.

Yes! Step up law enforcement so the Bill of Rights is trampled on even more. After all, those making the laws have every right to not hear the outcries of the citizens! Just like the students were not invited to the debates at USF, yet we had to give up parking, walking routes to class, etc. Screw the RNC, I have the right to petition and a right to assemble. I hope this guy finds a way to shove the constitution down their throats:

Parents alot of unknowns coming to this event and not all are nice folks with good intentions... be watchful... please, lets not put our head in the sand.
This is correct. The previous cities, business but government actually lost money on the conventions. You're going to have a bunch of anarchists in town and they will cause problems for people that live and work downtown. It'll be a mess but I'm hopeful that security will be up to par

Both conventions should be in DC a few weeks apart. That's where they belong.

Maybe their Corporate Masters could kick in a few bucks. Sell the naming rights ( call it the Koch Brothers Konvention, the Halliburton Hootenanny, the Goldman Sachs Spectacular Spectacle, etc.). The possibilities are endless.
