But I think that he believes nobody will catch him. The facts are the facts. Allenhurst is a crtime magnet that the APD cannot find a way to foil. Peterson is too good at controlling Amherst politicians like Moslow.
This nonsense about more patrol cars in Eggertsville that the rest of the town combined is pure crap! I'm in Eggertsville on a regular basis. Maybe what you mean is that there are more police responses at Allenhurst that the rest of the town combined. But according to the police, that's not true. Of course the facts don't support the police. I remember that police call statistics were posted by the Eggertsville Community group a few years ago. It was quite compelling. They were posted only after soo many on this very message board tried to deny that there was a problem. Then, faced with the facts, many of those deniers simply clamed up.
