This web page has been the SAME format since the day you began it. Why not change it up and maybe have a specific page just for police reports? Why does this stuff (usually a ver batum account of the police report) get posted on the front? Its ridiculous.
And while you are at it, why not post every comment as long as there is no vile language? Why do you take a politically correct stance when chosing what comments to post? That's not real journalism.
