You're there when I call? Get over yourself, having a good insurace policy and a big bench press provides safety, not some cop somewhere writing a ticket. Just an FYI, my dad is now a police chief. He got me into lifting weights, why would I call some cop who is half my size. Calling the police for help these days results in more problems than it solves. I grew up around cops in the 1980's. They don't help anyone, those are BS PR lines they use in interviews. They get excited over beating up someone or wrecking their police cars. I got sick listening to story after story growing up about how they "trashed" someones apartment serving a warrant or how far they threw some niggger down some stairs. Now I am not loving the criminal per se, I have no love for rapists and child molesters. The thing you have to look at is, what constitutes being a "criminal" these days? 99% of the time it's bull**** stuff, fines, court orders, FTA's, tickets, suspensions. In this country we treat Joe Blow who did something minor like he is Charles Manson. The behavior of the police insures a steady stream of people who hate the police. I know it's cliche, but cops were either the bully in highschool or the person that got bullied. I saw it with my own eyes most of my life. My dad ran the academy as well. He said do you know "so and so"? I said I did and that we used to make him cry picking on him when we were 14. He said "he is in my academy and he is a good kid". I laughed my ass off, somone doesn't want to get picked on anymore.

This is the part where you retort with a "bad apple response, or isolated incidence" line.

Surely, if the tenents have been paying on time they would wish to continue. I think they should approach the bank and look to aquire the load on the building. THe middle man has to come up with the money he did not pay the bank.
