Amazing. Just amazing...

It actually is sort of like gang banging. Instead of keeping your windows up so you don't get carjacked, you keep them up so that someone doesn't try and sweet talk you out of your wallet with a sad story instead of a gun.

Lmao!

Nice to see our tax dollars are paying officers to fight serious crime! What was next, catching all those pesky jaywalkers?

[SSMAN]

Good job! I hate seeing those fuckers out there. I have seen the LEO's here in Burleson tagging them at the Alsbury bridge and I35W.

I saw a begger and yelled for him to come over. I told him I did not have any money for him, but I called the police and maybe they can help him out. Should be here shortly.

Ever been on Bryant Irvin? Panhandlers are a serious crime over there. The road can't even come close to supporting the traffic load normally and right now they have lane closures for the toll road construction. These idiots walk around and distract drivers and of course lots of drivers stop to hand them money, it makes a bad situation considerably worse.

Those same guys only last about 3 minutes in Benbrook. They probably give them a free ride to Bryant Irvin Good job though, that area is screwed up enough already without having to deal with worthless pukes giving you the evil eye for ignoring them.

Just curious, but how do you know?

<- Proud Benbrook resident. Never seen any pan handling there. Another reason I love it so much.

You work what comes along.

If you'd like to come ride for a shift, I'd be honored if you could point me to a bank robbery, rape, or murder in progress.

If I had the keen ability to sense crimes in progress, I'd be Clark Kent..

I was just kidding. The beggars don't bother me as much as long as they don't touch my car and stay out of the street. The ones that just stand there on the corner are nothing more than an eye sore. If someone gives them money, it's their own fault they got hustled. I've seen with my own eyes off of I30 when I worked for DART, a guy standing on a corner to walk back to his couple year old Caddy and take off. I bet some of those guys that do that stuff make some decent money doing that.

Actually, I'd love to go on a ride along some time to see for myself what you guys have to deal with. I think we all have an idea, but would be much different to see it from the officers perspective.

Please tell your buddies from Mansfield to get rid of the two dirt bags that have been working the left hand exit @ Mansfield hwy off of I20 under the bridges for the past two years. I see the same motherfuckers there every single day.

That is part of the reason I have been using Little Rd to cut through Kennedale on my way to TXR. It takes forever to get through that light down there already without them causing additional delays and hazzards. The last time I went down that left hand exit at Bus 287, one of them stepped off the curb into the roadway when the light was still green.

I once observed one at the 635 / NW HWY exit punching the crosswalk as soon as the light turned green in an attempt to short cycle the lights. Does that even have an effect on the duration of the traffic cycle?

Same here. They'll stand at the corners on I-20 bridge on Winscott but seriously, they won't be there for 5 minutes before a squad car rolls by and tells them to beat it.

They do the same thing with door to door sales people. My street is the first one after Winscott so the peddlers start on it most of the time, they usually don't make it more than two houses before the police are there asking questions. Other than the steak guys none of them ever make it to my house, they are a lot faster than the magazine and Kirby people. I do get hounded by roofing guys in the spring but they are stealthy, they just pull up in trucks and start walking around.

DPD shoots first and makes up stories later. Apparently its easier for them to let the ambulance haul you away than take you to jail.
