capta60,your right, our police are very loose !! loose with the gas pedal and the glock !! grumpy you got lucky,the old man killed last year in front of food lion in arlington by a cop doing 100 mph after a car with window tint to dark was not so lucky !! we can afford to LOSE a lot of so called good cops.

I was recently a victim of a cragslist rip-off artiest. The Officer that came to my house to make a report went above and beyond what I thought he would do. He was courteous and thorough. I would sure hate to think that this city would lose this officer. I would go to bat for that officer any day of the week! And, he's not the only fine officer we have. Another officer came with the original officer a couple of days after the original report and had me look at a line up. There are plenty of other ways to save money in this city than to let GREAT officers lose their jobs. Next time you're in trouble and need help... CALL THE MAYORS OFFICE!!!!

When we loose our POLICE to keep the order in the city & county and loose our correction officers what are you going to do then Mr. Mayor Jacksonville will be known as the lawless city. It is all about the almighty Dollar. So why do we have a Mayor or even a City Council when the taxpayer has no say as to how his or her tax dollar is spent, you spend it on buildings we didn't really need it was just something you wanted and didn't care what anyone else had to say and now look where it has gotten you, DON'T CUT THE JOBS OF THE VERY PEOPLE WHO KEEP YOU SAFE cut the jobs in the Mayor's office or the City Council any of them going to keep our city safe..

The job cuts should start at the TOP!!! Why do we have a Mayor, when all they do is spend tax payer money..Why do we have a City Council, when they are allowed to take jobs and paychecks away from the people that protect us, while they SIT on their duffs and would never run into a burning building to save someone!!???
