And the people of Rochester don’t want a police department.
They don’t want it changed, they don’t want it reformed, they want it gone.
You hear that every night on the 6 o’clock news, you see it daily in the streets, it is the undying demand of activists from far and near. The Rochester Police Department is actively hated by a loud and large percentage of the residents of Rochester.
I wish it were different. It doesn’t make sense to me. But it’s an undeniable reality.
Rochester has chosen demagoguery over reason, prejudice over principle, chaos over order. It is a city run not by elected officials – most of whom are feckless and incompetent anyway – but by a network of reporters and activists, preachers and hucksters, tenured professors and aspiring revolutionaries.
