Neither of the name...What a pastiche of complaints. Neither of the names suspects are immigrants, documented or otherwise. I believe Mr. Cobbins is a Hudson native. <br /><br />And while some former alder women (ok, 1) liked complaining about HPD and wanted to “defund” them, I don’t recall this getting any traction at all. Hudson is, very much so, a city where the quite crimes (spousal and child abuse) predominate more likely than not compared to other crimes (besides traffic infractions which are also not often punished. <br /><br />On balance, I think HPD does a great job. They have highly capable and cognizant leadership in Chief Moore. Could some things be done better? Sure. That’s the human condition. John K.

Many Hudsonites have made it clear that <br />they do not want the police to do too much. <br /><br />How can anyone be careful when the elected officials talk this way ? I expect there will be more of this to come. <br /><br /><br /><br />they also want Hudson to be a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants. <br /><br />Hudsonites are getting exactly what they want now, and they have already made that clear ad nauseum. j kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08669649380477390089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-7932809535122017582022-09-10T17:20:44.376-04:002022-09-10T17:20:44.376-04:00This is sad and scary to hear about.
I'm not ...This is sad and scary to hear about.<br /><br />I'm not surprised that they found this guy in the 7th street park, a place that ne'er-do-wells seem to have made home in the past year. HPD doesn't seem to mind the regulars in the park smoking, drinking, partying, even peeing, and taking over tables and benches all day sometimes. HPD doesn't even bother patrolling the park. I was assaulted by two aggressive drunks in the park 2 months ago, both of them drinking beer in open containers. Never did hear back from HPD after I filed charges. <br /> Ed Moore and his commissioner will include the number of heroin overdoses in their monthly report to the common council, but they won't bother mentioning shootings that may have occured. Hudson a violent and dangerous place? Not to HPD. Heck, Ed Moore lives 15 miles south of Hudson, what does he care? He and his family don't have to worry about shootings or stabbings or assaults or reckless drivers in Cleremont. Nor do they spend any time in the 7th street park. Ditto for the commissioner.<br />Bill HustonBILLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165652134301551300noreply@blogger.com
