I'm in my right mind ... well almost .... and I live in downtown Kingston. No problem. And we have seven major prisons in the area:eek: Also we have a large military base, and a large university to fuel the party crowd. On weekends, if anyone gets out of hand, the KPD, tosses the culprits into a cruiser, and off to the drunk tank. There is always a strong police presence when the drunks are out in force ... and the coppers don't stay in their cruisers, they are out on the streets keeping an eye on things. I don't think the police here have things under control because they are armed and brutal, they just do their jobs, and they have the support of most of the community. If anyone gets out of hand, he is face down on the sidewalk, the cuffs are on, and it's off for a night in the slammer; and if there are charges other than drunkeness, they stay there until the bail hearing. Sure we have our civil rights laid out in our Charter of Rights and Freedoms .... but being a drunken asshole is not considered a "right".
