    I got stopped by the Calgary Police trying to hitchhike after getting stranded outside the city. Why? People saw me trying to hitchhike, got scared and called the cops. The bastard gave me wrong directions, I ended up sleeping in a ditch.

    Your tax dollars paid for that call and response, Calgary.

    This has to stop. OMG

    Will someone please, for the love of God, get this organization an accountant and a financial planner?

    No matter how much money we give these guys, the state of crime and this city continues to decline. Enough.
