one thing most miss while they praise police is that police are not saving anyone but pursuing assailants. I live in this city and was once the only credible witness to a homicide, others made up stories. The victim died in my arms just as fire rescue arrived. Detectives did not talk to me until 3 days later. It was ruled a justifiable homicide. The lesson is to protect yourself and do not expect police or anyone else to do it for you. Kenda knows his job and that the guilty will fold, if found.
