Really Thomas K Arnold?

TKA is a strange fearful man. 

This Carlsbad resident is always ready with am radio style attacks on the city of Encinitas. 

In his latest column for the Seaside Courier (yes, that still exist) TKA uses random crime episodes that occurred in other north county cities to attack the Encinitas city council for not hiring more sheriff deputies. He then rants how governments primary mission is public safety. 

The very same issue of the Seaside Courier has a story about the new approved city of Encinitas budget which includes new lifeguards and new fire fighter hires. You know, PUBLIC SAFETY.

Real residents of Encinitas know that our local sheriffs meander around town bored most of the time, looking for tickets to write or the occasional mentally ill person to gun down, while the lifeguards are overwhelmed as our beaches surge in popularity. 

Lesson: don't write an op-ed piece scathing about public safety, when the topic you are writing about actually increased public safety.

Burning Question:

*How many sheriff deputies is appropriate for a town with a mostly upper middle class population of 63,000 ?
