More patrols and a push to identify people already known to police and he called those people trigger pullers, not shooters nor killers, but trigger pullers as though the problem with that weekends of vocabulary. Mayor Katie Wilson once argued that the city would be better off with no police department at all. Yeah, that makes so much sense, doesn't it?
