See the Facebook event page here.

The New York Times this weekend ran a front-page story on how Camden, N.J., is disbanding its police force to get rid of its union.
The reason? Generous time-off policies have made it so that about 30 percent of officers do not show up on any given day. And high salaries mean the city can't afford to hire the police officers it needs to combat crime. If the city's plan works, it will replace 273 unionized officers with as many as 400 non-union officers.
Spokane, which has about three times the size of Camden's population, currently has about the same amount of officers — roughly 275 — as the smaller city.
The New York Times story — read it here — cites poor response to property crimes as one of the reasons more officers are needed. Sound familiar?

times. You've inspired me to continually challenge myself, and face my
fears. Believe it or not, I've learned a lot from you. Be safe."

I want to send a cheers out to Rich at Victoria's towing for getting up at
3 am and offer to help us out when we were locked out of our van. You were
a God send to us. We didn't know what we were going to do, but you said no
matter what you would help and get us back on the route. Your kindness was
so dearly appreciated. I know it is your job to do this, but under the
circumstances you could have said "no" like so many others did, but you
pulled through for us. Thank you so very much.

To the complete idiot in the vehicle that almost ran me over in the
crosswalk at Sharp & Ruby on 9-24. If I am such a "bleeping" cow, then why
was your response that "you did not see me?" Spokane drivers open up your
eyes. Those in the crosswalk do not enjoy dodging cars while crossing
correctly at intersections that have a turn lane or otherwise. What good is
it to have the right-of-way if your are dead or severely injured!

You enjoy your (my) girl! and all the drama that comes with her! That
includes that debt that she is accumulating as you read this. The Fast Cash
US and Mobileloans people are calling me as a reference because she doesn't
want you to know. I, on the other hand am relieved and waiting for the call
for help. Hey, thanks old man! You deserve her, after all

Sept 16th, Sunday @ 6:25 am. Starbucks at Sprague and Thierman. You were in
front of me, driving a white Chrysler Sebring. Thanks for getting my mocha.
First time that has happened to me. What a great way to start my day. I was
heading to Liberty Lake for the RIM - Century Bike Ride. After your mocha,
I knew it was going to be a great ride. It was a glorious ride and day.
Thank you so much. Bill

Cheers to one of the most genuine and loving people I have ever had the
fortune to meet. Over the past two years, I have fallen deeply in love with
our friendship. You have taught me so much about respect, generosity and
enduring optimism. I will miss you dearly as you embark on your new
adventure to Colorado, although I am certain this relationship will stand
the tests of distance and time. Good luck, Erin. All my love, Mariah
