If you listen to radio host Brad Davis' radio show in the morning you would think that Mayor Segarra is the greatest thing to hit Hartford since white bread.

Undeniably, Mr. Segarra is good for Hartford...I mean, look who he replaced - even Ken Krayeske would seem like a God-send.

Davis' latest applause is reserved for the Mayor's Shooting Task Force, and rightfully so. As I understand it, this initiative has been very successful.

However, just as crimes need to be solved, so too do they need to be prevented. This initiative does little in that respect than other measures would do.

Following your thoughts on choosing a new HPD Chief, the candidate ought to be one that would lead the HPD in a direction of crime prevention.

As Democratic mayoral candidate Ed Vargas told Brad Davis during an on-air interview, the direction should be one of "tough love," like the Rudy Guiliani way in New York.

Coupling the fact that the majority of the shootings in this city take place while the perp is in a vehicle, and the fact that traffic anarchy reigns supreme in this city's neighborhoods, we need a PD that will direct its authority to stopping and ticketing the wheeling anarchists and killers/drug dealers-to be.

Whether it be for running a red light (running a yellow light is also illegal in CT.), a stop sign, illegal parking, or using the south end of Broad Street for a quarter mile track, directing police attention to these people would naturally result in many guns and drugs being seized and taken off city streets (these people are not too bright, they like to keep these things in the open).

Further more, a Mayor preaching the "quality of life" angle, could do a lot for that cause by making sure his citizens are not only safe from being shot, but also that they are safe from being run over by some punk with no respect for himself let alone the little rules that civil people live by.

In this regard the Mayor would lean toward a Chief that believes in Giuliani's and Vargas' "tough love" policy.

Often times you need to sweat the small stuff.

All valid points except for one, it is not the "Mayor's shooting task force" it is Governor Malloy's shooting task force, brought about and implemented by Kevin Kane. Segarra may want to take credit for it, but it was more a situation of "get with the program or get out of our way, we are doing this", the only choice he had was to embrace the taskforce, but it was definitely not brought about by his ideas or any leadership on his part

didn't Brad Davis also blindly support Eddie Perez ?

I guess at his age you can forgive his memory lapses

Many would argue that Segarra is worse then Eddie,just with a more affable personality.His campaign staff had at least one felon on it and around Perez in his inner circle are some others and very corrupt/immoral and unethical people.

Also incorrect is that the shooting task force does not prevent crime. Locking up shooters prevents future crime. And the Task Force has done many pro active arrests and details, and has seized many many illegal guns. Just to inform..........

What does it say when Sgt. Mertes is a more popular topic than the report that leaves a lot of unanswered question, such as the topic of this post, what's next. So how DKR reversed his decision on the advocates position which proves that they read and pay attention to this bolg.

All of the above names are Fallonites.... Trained by a true leader, they're now ready to run the department and bring Hartford back to what it once was. Do what's right Mayor Segarra.
