You fucking hippie liberals claiming the police are out of control are the same ones who will cry for their help when you need it and badmouth them when you don't.

What the hell are you talking about? Who said the cops are out of control?

LOL Durkie...sorry if I struck a nerve with the mom joke.

naaw, hippie conservative

Belly stated:
Start with rule one: The Park System is not a camp grounds and sleeping in the park is illegal.
Step two: Enforce the laws that are laws … Park is no place to sleep and after hours is illegal
Step three: If the Original Laws / Ordinance were enforced this would not happen

Two wrongs don’t make a right ... sorry about the situation now is not the time to blame but to correct the wrong to make enforceing the law right.

Now it would be nice if the homeless did have a job or a home like others ... ... However I know this is not possible for some and street living is all they know.
However there are other places that the community can provide that is safer for everyone. The homeless however refuses at times to take the proper steps to get help.
But a few arrest for sleeping in the prk will help direct them to a safer and more supportive locations.

Hippie hoe bag.

Wow! This conversation turned to shit pretty quickly.

One thing we "hippie liberals" know how to do, its read.

Maybe if you guys would read the article you may have noticed that she wasn't sleeping, she was laying on a blanket playing with her dog. Lemme guess, she's not allowed to do that either? Should've been submitting her application somewhere huh? lol

She was laying on a blanket in what she thought was her living room. Last I checked cop cars can't drive thru the homeless shelter or the YWCA.

Lol, I don't argue with people who just make shit up.

She was playing with her dog, on a blanket. It was an accident yes.....but not her fault. Quit trying to blame it on her. Lemme guess, those girls that get raped were asking for it too, right?

Last I checked, laying on blankets in the park was encouraged, not outlawed. I don't think I've ever been to a park where you're NOT allowed to lay on a blanket.

First, let me put up the disclaimer that while I may be a hippie liberal, I am a card carrying, cop loving hippie liberal.


I find it interesting that the call about this came in at noon. I was under the impression it was late evening. I'm definitely interested to hear why he was driving through the grass at the park in the middle of the day. I've seen a lot of officers do it at night when they're checking on things, but never during the day.


As for the sleeping in the park during the day, I'm guilty of doing that. Nothing beats laying out in the sunshine with a book and dozing off.

I was listening to the Bulldog on 700wlw last night on my way home from golfing and he was talking about this incident. He said he went down to the park to take a look at the scene and there was a paved asphalt path running through the park right next to where he ran the lady over.

I've only driven by that park once or twice on my way to Findlay Market, but I remember it being 100% flat. I'm wondering what reason he had for going "off the beaten path" when his presence would've been seen by every single person in the park had he not driven through it, or at least stayed on the paved path. And why did he feel the need to drive over someone's blanket?

I am curious to read the officers side of the story once that finally comes out to get an idea of what he was trying to do.

"I've recently started a new charity, it's called Fabreezing the Homeless. It's not what it sounds like. I actually go around Fabreezing the homeless. Oh, that's what you thought it was? I'm just sayin', would you rather give change to a guy that smells like liquid garbage or Mountain Breeze??"

Not that it makes what the woman was doing wrong, but the only statement I've seen that said she was playing with the dog was by her husband who wasn't there at the time. It makes a little more sense as to how the officer may not have noticed her if she was sleeping or lying down under the blanket as opposed to being active or moving around.

That's what bothered me about the situation.

Let's change this situation slightly for all of you who are blaming the homeless woman. Let's take SEJ's situation and say it was a UC student laying in the park studying and dozed off instead of a homeless woman...and then this happened.

Are you more likely to find fault in what the cop did then?

And I have seen NO statement saying she was sleeping. Everyone just assumed.

The Enquirer is the one who stated she was sleeping.

Really, unless you're talking about a different article, the article in the OP makes NO mention of her sleeping. I think you imagined it in your extreme need to make this woman out to be the bad guy....

Quote from the second article:

According to accounts from the scene, Polk ran over the legs of a woman who was lying under a blanket, possibly sleeping.

So nobody actually said she was sleeping.

Once again, let me ask the people defending the cop in this situation and are trying to make the homeless woman out to be the one at fault...
If this had been a college co-ed laying on a blanket reading a book who may or may not have dozed off, does that make this any more appalling to you?

Really? Maybe it wasn't in the article. Maybe you didn't go thru the photos and read the captions.

Who blamed the woman? I think what I said was that if she wasn't homeless she wouldn't have been sleeping in the park and she wouldn't have been killed. Of course, had the cop not become a cop and had gone into performing show tunes on Broadway instead she also wouldn't have been run over by him.....but I prefer realistic logic.

Ok, please provide said photo with caption.
