So they say crime is down but they are arresting more people for what? “crimes?”, must be more of that government logic.

If you ever go to Grover, you better walk right.

You better not gamble and you better not fight

’cause the sheriff gonna get you, and the boys will take you down.

Next thing your knowing, you’re penitentiary bound!

The Three Strikes Law was very good at removing repeat offenders. What that law proved was that most crimes are committed by a relatively small group of repeat offenders. Too bad voters gutted that excellent piece of law.

Who would have thought that arresting criminals results in less crime, oh maybe ICE knows by removing criminal illegal immigrants we make our country safer and avoid future crimes, processing and in-prisoning them.

It appears that the Grover police department on top of things. However statistics are useless … I doubt that anyone who has been the victim of crime would believe that crime is under control. Until the numbers above reach zero crime is a problem, statistics only give a false indicator.
