Letter to the Editor: Dear editor, I feel that the police in the big cities have not cracked down hard enough on organized crime. Although the outbreak of criminal organizations continues to grow, police forces remain the same sizes and can do little to stop these massive criminal undergrounds. I think that we require larger police academies to combat these terrorists.

I myself live in a large city and I've noticed a steady increase in crime around my neighborhood. It is ruining our good name and the lives of all of the decent, law abiding residents. I seldom let my children outside to play anymore and I am even afraid to go out myself sometimes. All I want is a kind and gentle place for my children to grow up and my business to thrive. I think any good American would want the same I think actually that in some cases the police in these cities may be corrupting the justice system.

I've heard stories from credible sources of policemen taking bribes and turning a blind eye to things these swarthy underhanded villains. It's not that I want to accuse any of our fine law enforcement officers of wrongdoing. But it has been known to happen. And one can only suppose that this has been going on in our cities for some time. In either case it must be stopped.

Yours truly, Scott Tennisguy
