Probably a little (or a lot) of both, hm?

Shalom Jill,

I suspect that there is an intentional slap-in-the-face here at council: our city council is so stingy that we have to become media whores in order to protect the citizens of Cleveland.

Of course it could just be that the Police Department likes the self promotion that it brings and the money for new toys is fun.

B’shalom,

Jeff

Jeff – that’s a good point, but I’m sure waivers etc were done beforehand – don’t know what exactly. Would still be interesting to know. I don’t actually care one way or the other since I don’t watch any of this stuff – but 1) if the CPD aren’t getting what they need, that’s one thing and 2) if the city councilmen really don’t want AE there, they should figure out what’s going on.

Shalom Jill,

Have you ever watched Cops?

I don’t remember anyone complaining a few years ago when they came to Cleveland.

A&E at least leans more toward education and away from sensationalism.

It’s all about the money.

B’shalom,

Jeff
