Don't these pigs have any real criminals to hunt down????
Why I suspect this means is in English is that if the government nannies don't like what you are doing they will come up with the lame ass excuse that if you do it more then once you need a permit to do it. Of course I doubt if they would do this to a person who chose to walk their dog in the park every week. Or a person who chose to jog every week in the park. But they are saying that if you chose to box once in the park it is OK, but if you want to do it more then once you need a permit.
Phoenix police, parks staff disband Palomino Park fight club by Ofelia Madrid - May. 23, 2011 05:11 PM The Arizona Republic A fight club at Palomino Park was recently disbanded after Phoenix police and parks staff told teenagers they needed a permit to conduct weekly fights. When groups of teenagers started gathering at the park near 32nd Street and Greenway Road on Wednesday afternoons, putting on boxing gloves and fighting, nearby residents called police. "Some neighbors in the area were upset, however there is no crime," said Sgt. Steve Martos, a Phoenix police spokesman. Police officers showed up on a recent Wednesday, but couldn't do anything but watch because "there was nothing illegal that was occurring. We were there to make sure it didn't turn into a brawl or fight," Martos said. He added that two people voluntarily boxing in public isn't illegal. "They were teenagers and had some people watching as well," Martos said. "They would have some people fight with boxing gloves and then there were spectators." Still, Phoenix parks officials were concerned. "We had staff out at the park (recently) and informed them that this was not activity that would be allowed," said David Urbinato, a Phoenix parks spokesman. Police went back the following week and told the teens they would need a permit to gather in the park for that type of activity. That was the end of the Palomino fight club. "They all just left the park and they haven't returned," Urbinato said. Now, Phoenix Parks and Recreation staff is requesting the parks and recreation board approve a policy amendment to ban this type of activity in city parks. It seeks to establish a citywide policy to help police and staff deal with unregulated fighting in parks. The board meets Thursday, where the recommendation is on the agenda. "The Parks and Recreation Department has never allowed unregulated fighting in any park or sanctioned an event of this type. These events are detrimental to other park users groups and frighten park users from utilizing the entire park," according to the recommendation. |
