If the officers are sick of patrolling that area, then why don't they just quit their jobs, or ask to be reassigned?

Is commentary at Licensing Board hearings sworn testimony under oath? If not, Capt. McCormick is recklessly talking some trash here. Whether this Hernandez guy is a hoodlum or not.

The sudden burst of activity seems to be the main problem. Bars would be less prone to overserving if the problem remained indoors and directed its belligerence at the staff and other customers.

Be better neighbors and nobody will need to regulate you.
