Picturesque small town America. The sort of place with a general store still selling picture postcards of the downtown area. 15th-safest city in the state of around 10 million.

I think we need to acknowledge the reason this town is so safe: police are out there rounding up truant 9 year old kids.

This behavior of police seems to me as a lazy way to do their job. Even a way to not do their job. To make place safe for children they need to keep an eye on kids, not to to round them up.

If you're rounding up pesky 9 year olds, you're not putting yourself in jeopardy of getting hurt chasing the more violent older criminals
