Okay, Avy Meyers, you're crazy. You're a crazy, annoying, egotistical lunatic with a big mouth. That big mouth of yours is no doubt very convenient for chugging entire pitchers of Joe Moore Kool-Aid. Your video show is a snore. Avy, you're not competent as a video interviewer. What the hell made you think you think you're a competent writer?
Let's have some fun with your silly e-mail, shall we?

Subject: Your silly comments on CAPS
I'm really not familiar with your blog nor do I want to be. In googling CAPS 2412 I came across your comments on CAPS24.org
"At the top of the site (http://www.caps24.org) is a link for you to report graffiti. Okay, but how about a link to report murder? Or domestic violence? Or drug pushers? Call me crazy, but it seems like right off the bat CAPS tells us that their priorities are not quite right."
A link to report a murder?
LET'S PAUSE and analyze: Uhm, yah, a link on the CAPS site to report a murder. Or any crime. Avy, it's "Googling" with a capital "G," okay? You should know better. As for not being familiar with this blog, well sir, you will be soon. You're one of my new favorite subjects!!! Back to you, Avy...
Are you out of your mind?
Whether or not I am out of my mind, Avy, I hardly think it's a weird idea to provide people with yet another way to report a crime. Look, I don't mean report a murder that you see as it's occurring, but report information about one. Where's the downside? Back to you, Avy...
You pick up the phone and call 911. CAPS is there to help put the public and police in direct contact with each other. Want to know what was said at the meeting, show up and share what you see and hear; hear what your neighbors and the police have to share.
Oh come now, Avy. Put the "public and police in direct contact" with each other by going to CAPS meetings? Nothing gets done there, except blue-haired busy bodies reporting their noisy neighbors, or folks complaining about drug deals going regularly on some corner that the police are already aware of. So the police officers at the CAPS meetings nod politely, pretend to be taking notes, and everybody leaves dumb and happy. You want direct contact with a cop? Walk up to one and say hello. Give the officer information. Get a scanner and listen to it. Do you listen to a scanner, Mr. CAPS Chairman?I am the civilian chair of beat 2412, and CAPS is about strengthening the bond and the direct communication between the Police and the public. Not for the gratification of some wheelchair general who has one hand on his mouse and and his other hand ...., well I don't need to know that.
I'd be happy to tell you what I do with the other hand, Avy. But first, that "wheelchair general" crack was unwarranted. First of all, I am not in a wheelchair. Second, I am not a general. Third, why do disrespect people who are in wheelchairs? Do you hate the handicapped? Now, as for what I do with my other hand... Well, write to me again and I'll send you a photo.
Those of us who volunteer for CAPS do it to help facilitate the ability of the police to make our neighborhood a safer place to live and raise our families. Entertaining Monday morning quarterbacks and couch potatoes isn't what we do.
Avy, Avy, Avy. You contradict yourself! Am I wheelchair bound or an athletic quarterback? Oy vay, get your metaphors straight, you meshugah. As for the brave men and women who serve so selflessly in CAPS, well, thanks for your service. Your sacrifices on behalf of our city are appreciated. But could you please enumerate those sacrifices and tell just what the hell progress you've made in the fight against crime? Seriously, murders are way up, robberies are rampant, what the hell have you done to stem the tide of mayhem?Want to know what's going on, show up at the meeting, listen and share. We are not the police, we are not the show! For optimum results, people need to be in direct contact with the police.
Sincerely,
Avy Meyers
How many times, Avy, can you repeat yourself in one short e-mail? You write like a slightly retarded person:
(1) CAPS is there to help put the public and police in direct contact with each other, (2) CAPS is about strengthening the bond and the direct communication between the Police and the public, (3) people need to be in direct contact with the police.
What, exactly, do you mean by "We are not the police, we are not the show!"
Thanks Avy, please write again. Watch this blog for frequent cartoons featuring you!
