Try being PROACTIVE rather than being REACTIVE.

and not like thugs! We have all seen the behavior of our law enforcement officers sleeping on the job, parking their patrol car on the side walk in order to but coffee and arresting the citizen who picked them out! They would rather give tickets to elderly people crossing the road where there is no crossing than stop motor cyclists the the "pizza boys" driving like lunatics though residential areas where old people are walking and little kids are playing! They do nothing about kids buying booze and cigarettes and screening an yelling throughout the night! Maybe the tile has come to start a USA style "Neighborhood Watch" system?

As Rio De Janeiro but without the wonderful natural beauty of Rio and without its charms.

God help Israel from the ineptness of its police force!

From what I've been reading about Israel of late, I gather you really don't have what other countries call a REAL POLICE FORCE. Are the Israeli Police just a bunch of little boys straight out of school?

to all of y'all, i have one thing to say, tel aviv ain't rough, go to the ghetto and find out what rough means, come to the triangle and see police not behaving like police, i means their was a shootout on Wednesday between police and gangs. and a shooting last friday, kids buying cigarettes and booze aint a serious issue i mean kids buying crack or coke or pills ill agree with you but booze and cigarettes, nah. i mean you won't get robbed or mugged or car jacked in tel aviv but you would in tayibe know what i mean

The problem is the police don't care about the citizens in Taibe or Tel Aviv. They just want to harrass "mitnahalim" and beat Haredim.

The Israeli Police force doesn't do there job--period! And yes, compared to the major police forces here in the United States, there is no comparison: we have much better Police forces--period! Most of the crap that goes on in Israel, would not be tolerated here. Our Police protect the people better--period! With that said, Israel faces totally different problems steming from the difficult, geopolitical issues; our situation is completely different than Israel's (hence: the Middle East; a complete different beast). It's the indecisiveness of the Israeli government that makes the job harder for the police; they should be using all of their resources to fight the Islamic plague...instead, of attacking their own people and throwing them out of their homes. Again, the two situations (yours and ours) are different; but. I still say our police are better trained--period! God bless, Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem!
