Well is that just not special? Darren White has not even been safety director in Albuquerque for more than six months and our state is already the second most dangerous state in the union but then again give the man credit where credit is due after all how long was he a failure as our Bernalillo County Sheriff.
It was just pointed out today that for the longest time the republicans have had control of the police forces in this state and just look what a great and wonderful job they are doing. Time for a Democratic Sheriff if you ask me unless you want to see our state make the top of that list next time it is released.
I was driving back from the Westside today and saw about 20 police cars and bikes on Coors just north of the I-40 interstate exchange. It turned out that a bank robber had hit and killed two women while trying to flee police after holding up a bank. That particle road has seen a lot of activity by police but yet the mayor has not improved the safety of residents in that area of the city as of late.
No. 2: NEW MEXICO--Nation rankings
Assault: 5
Burglary: 3
Murder: 6
Motor Vehicle Theft: 7
Rape: 2
Robbery: 23
Now the mayor of our fair city is more worried about robbery which is the only area where crime might just be looking up but he has not said a word about Assaults, Burglary, or Murder. The Mayor was the victim of an auto thief during the election yet he has not done anything to put a dent in Motor Vehicle Theft in this state as of yet. Maybe he is too busy attacking the police and firefighting unions to be bothered with such mundane issues as public safety.
Rape tops the list with our state coming in at number 2 so where is the attempt to keep women in this state safe from harm? Why are they doing everything in their power to protect criminals by forbidding the release of information that would only protect women and provide them with much needed information about possible offenders? Why is it property crime offenders and not sex offender’s pictures we see on electric billboards around the city.
Again if we want these rankings to change than it is far past time to change who is in charge of our police forces in this state and we can start with the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s department this coming fall.

Quotes:
Senator Edward M. Kennedy (Teddy)
"For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die."
The O'Coilean (O'Collins)
'A great host with whom it is not fortunate to contend, the battle-trooped host of the O'Coileain."
Abraham Lincoln
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
From NPR Radio
"Rosa sat so Martin could walk.
Martin walked so Obama could run.
Obama ran so our children can fly!"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new."

"Friendship is loving someone no matter what is in their past. It is accepting the fact that they are human and that they have made their share of mistakes over a life time. Trust is being able to tell your friend the most private secret knowing that they will not judge you. A life is not lived well without that one true and trusted friendship."
Mary Harris "Mother" Jones
"My job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable"
Albert Einstein
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
Will Rogers
"I don't belong to an organized party--I'm a democrat."
President John F. Kennedy, Democrat
“If by a ‘liberal’ they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people—their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties—someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a ‘Liberal,’ then I’m proud to say I’m a ‘Liberal.’”
Martin Luther King Jr.
"Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase."
Lora O'Brien
"All I can do is share one person's experiences on her own path, not tell you how to walk yours. If a guru is what you are looking for, find another! If I am a teacher, it is because I am already walking the path that you, Dear Reader, may wish to be on. Although each of us must make our own way, I can put up signs at least, and make the way slightly less hazardous for those who wish to walk a similar path."
C. S. Lewis
"Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives."
