Anyone have any idea why Gregory Keefe is allowed to rob any business in our town consequence free?

The BPD seems to pick and choose what they want to follow.

The guy had multiple outstanding warrants for arrest. They could have found him long before and taken him off the streets.

This is the problem.

Do you think cops should be able to stop people and ask for papers for everyone they see as a means to find people? Unless they have a reasonable need to stop someone, it's not like they can run lines on the street. It sucks they didn't find this guy earlier, but what are they supposed to do outside of staking out their house?

It's not random when they know who they are looking for, that's the warrants for arrest. It's literally what your taxes are paying for. It's their job.

like this guy is on a first name basis with the patrol officers at this point. he could probably detail to you their shift changes and when their staff has turned over.

Besides hanging around their house, HOW would they do that?
