I agree...just use regular police and install some security cameras as well. Works pretty well in NYC.

Just have the city police take over. Problem solved. It was done in other cities and provides cost savings. Anyhow, aren't police strikes illegal?

Where we come from, when union bosses strongly urge you to do or not do something, particularly when they don’t want anyone to get hurt, it’s usually a good idea to listen to them. Sarah, that's because where you come from, when union bosses strongly urge you to do or not do something so as to avoid getting hurt, they're usually telling you that if you don't act the way they want you to act, they're going to hurt you.

Interesting that they're suggesting people avoid SEPTA. I wonder why. Maybe it has to do with things like this, which recently happened to my brother and had it been someone less level-headed than he, perhaps things might've gone terribly worse.
