"Residents are again on alert in Broad Ripple after two violent robberies within two days."…
Ok, I am really stunned that there could be all these cops in front of the bars scaring drunks or trying to pick up drunken chicks but, you can walk a few blocks in either direction and some jackasses can jump out of the bushes and rob you at gunpoint? It doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. I think they should have bike racks on the squad car and perhaps jump on some bikes and cruise the outskirts of "the strip". By having the bike racks on the squad car you won't lose the parking space in front of the bars and the intimidation factor that it lends and, it's some good exercise while you wait for some dumbass to stumble of the bar and possible score an arrest.
