<p>[quote user="Phoebe Vet"]</p> <p><span style="color:#800000;">That's a fact. Americans have demonstrated time and again that they prefer the illusion of safety to freedom. </span>[/quote]</p> <p>Get mugged one time, as I was at a transit station, and your views about crime and safety are likely to change. No more glib statements about crime anywhere or weak kneed Americans over reacting to it, which is great sloganeering but adds nothing of substance.</p> <p>Prior to the coming of the light rail line in Dallas, big D did not have a transit police force. It did not need one. But that changed with the coming of the rail line. Today, the Dallas Transit Police force numbers approximately 185 officers. Needless to say, numerous variables have contributed to the need for a significant transit police force, but is is not an unnoticed coincident that the need for the police force arose with the coming of the light rail system.</p> <p> </p>
