On Stimulus...Is Putting Food ON Tables More Important Than Putting Police ON Streets

Watching CNN, and was struck by a comment made by one of their guests...she said that they can almost instantly start implementing some Shovel Ready jobs that would have been put on the back burner so that they could keep policemen on the streets. So, mayors across America when given a choice choose to put or keep more officers on the streets to protect the ASSETS OF THE UBER RICH, rather than keeping Average Americans working.

So that raises the question:

In hard economic times, which is more important to you...keeping or putting more police officers in the street, or keeping average workers employed so that they can put food no the table for their families?

The South Campus building on Nashville Road was evacuated earlier
following reports that one or more persons were observed in the building
with weapons. WKU Police, Bowling Green Police and State Police have

Police have confirmed that there was a physical altercation not
involving weapons between individuals that occurred in or near PFT, but
the police are interviewing witnesses on the scene to determine if
weapons were or are present, or if shots were fired.

At this time, the campus emergency warning system has been activated.

areas, until an "all clear" is issued.

Classes for Wednesday afternoon and evening on the main campus have been
canceled. Classes at the WKU regional campus sites are still scheduled.
