[QUOTE="Darth_VadEER, post: 129263544, member: 1536653"] 1) If Grant street was well policed and safe, we wouldn't be having fires after every significant victory or occasion, so either you're being disingenuous or you're ignorant to the problems in that area. 2) I obviously made the mistake of assuming you actually read anything I wrote and clearly you did not, because anyone who did would know I never made any suggestions whatsoever, and the words armored police, or SWAT Teams were never written by myself.

How would the GAME ATMOSPHERE suffer from having a police presence on GRANT STREET. 4) Having you seen the video's of these riots?
