Police should spend less time at one business

The editor:

Is the corner of Main and Flemingsburg Road really the crime capital of Rowan County? If so, someone please warn my neighbors so that they will think better next time they let their children walk to BP after the sun begins to set, and the police cruisers begin to settle in front of the gas pumps.

If the BP gas station is as dangerous as the perennial police cars make it seem, it would be fiscally responsible for us tax-payers to pay to install bullet-proof glass around the registers, considering the amount of our money that goes toward paying for BP’s “security guards.”

Morehead residents should be offended by the lack of dedication of Morehead’s finest to their sworn oaths “to protect and serve.” How effective can the MPD really be when its only vigilance is the attention they are paying to the girls behind the counter?

If the boys-in-blue were not the one’s dictating the laws, they would have to arrest themselves for loitering. For all the times I have seen someone defile Rowan County’s natural beauty by emptying the contents of their car by the side of the road, or for every time a driver shows blatant disregard for our children and other drivers on residential side-streets when they cruise though stop signs and proceed onward well over the posted speed-limit, I can only think, “If only they did that in front of BP.” But, in all reality, I should be saying, “If only they did it IN BP,” because that is the only time that they might actually be caught.

We deserve better from those we pay to protect us. Most of us are held to a level of professionalism every day we show up for work; it is time we hold the Morehead Police Department to that same level of accountability.
