Bryn is just an idiot. Hell, he works for the Flint Journal. Those morons have watched a rising crime rate for years in their city and been complicit in sensationalizing the whole damn thing with the rest of the media.
I do have to step in here and defend the men and women of the Kalamazoo Public Safety Department somewhat backhandedly. The people comprising the rank and file of the department are mostly great. But, the NATURE of the department leaves a lot of holes in the system. A large chunk of the PSO's are both fire fighters and police, and most of the cruisers have fire gear in the trunk. If there's a fire, good luck finding a cop for anything. That being said, Hadley and his chiefs act like they climbed out of a clown car.
It's also worth noting that two of the incidents that day took place outside of city limits. The apartments are apparently Richland Township territory, and the Cracker Barrel is Oshtemo Township, both of which are covered by the Kalamazoo County Sheriff Department. THOSE guys have the capacity to be real boneheads at times.
