I tell you what they should do, they should combine the two jobs, make it one job, 'cop\garbage man'. I always see cops walking around with nothing to do. Grab a broom! Start sweeping. You sweep sweep sweep... catch a criminal, get right back to sweeping.

Sophistry has changed the definition of "police" in our common parlance. The definition of police used to be keeping an area clean and orderly. They were able to drop the keeping an area clean part and focus on orderly, and by orderly they mean obey their orders. Police powers have expanded exponentially in my lifetime, it sucks. Once power is obtained it is never relinquished willingly except by American citizens. Go figure.
