      <![CDATA[as someone who has been the victim of numorus almost hit and runs i say GREAT driving is a privlage NOT a right too many people on the road think when they get behind the wheel it gives them the right to act in a manner dangoures not only to other drivers but pedestrians like myself two weeks ago i was clipped by a driver on 8th ave who knew she clipped me and never stopped if this makes people think twice before getting behind the wheel i am all for it if you cant drive responsably then walk or take the bus

      <![CDATA[Greenhillsgirl, sorry to tell you but your friend police officer LIED to you...the POLICE have never and will never declare murders or the number of murders...it is ALWAYS of funciton of the State Medical Examiner, and yes, murder as declared by the corner is COUNTED ONE AT A TIME - they are never added up to be x number of deaths don't count to the one event they were in...please reserach a bit the law before you opine so uninformed.

      <![CDATA[crime is "down" because he finds loop holes to lie about the numbers to make them look lower. like if 3 people get killed at 1 house, that's considered 1 murder instead of 3.

      <![CDATA[Julia: for fear of sounding too far the other way from your points, your facts are in error...I looked up some old NOPD data, the worst murder year ever was 1994 with over 400 murders...by the time surpas left NOPD the rate was cut over 50%...see the times picayune for the data. i am struggling to follow your data here in nashville, i believe the PD has reported this year that all violent crimes are down ytd; and i know you must have been following national news that there was an explosion of violent crime throughout the country the second half of this decade - so much so that the issue became part of the presidential campaing???

      <![CDATA[Seriously people, murder rates have also been alarmingly higher since Serpas has been in town and he is from New Orleans, if I'm not mistaken, a bastion of model behavior. The main question is, who do we have to vote for or against to send that fat mongoloid back to Louisiana.

      <![CDATA[Well Devin, it seems you are aware of stats...have you every visited the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations web page to learn how MANY innocent persons are killed each year by drunk drivers - who for whatever reason only known to them chose to get behind the wheel drunk. Maybe the over 15-16,000 Americans killed each year by drunk drivers, who are almost 100% of the time killed by a complete and selfish stranger, would stun you that this is usually more deaths than those commited by murders who almost always know their victim (check the FBI UCR web page for that data point).

      <![CDATA[I am someone who was accused of drunk driving by an overzealous rookie in 2007, and had my car searched for simply sitting in my car at 10 p.m. earlier this year. I don't agree with Serpas' policies, nor do I believe his motives are public safety.

      <![CDATA[I guess, Ron, you've not kept up, the Teamsters were VOTED out by the officers becuase of their thuggish ways and what a surprise - the main organizer was arrested for breaking into the FOP youth camp and filming children. He is on trial in the Federal Government Courts.

      <![CDATA[I only feel sorry for the citizens and the officers that voted for the Teamsters. If the Teamsters were still representing the Department you can bet Serpas would be gone by now.
