"The worried wife of a postal employee drives down Clanton Street. U.S. Postal Service officials canvas one block, Shreveport police patrol the other. All to ensure that the letter carrier is out of harm's way while delivering mail in the 1400 and 1500 blocks of the Caddo Heights street."

Sounds like trying to deliver mail in Iraq.
What in BLAZES is his wife doing in a combat zone? Get her off the streets and let the qualified (sic) postal police do their jobs that they are PAID TO DO. Get the Postmaster and the supervisors on the street. IT'S THEIR JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a bunch of a**hole$.
Yo. You ain't gonna get no postmaster or stupervisor out there. No way. They gonna be hiding out. That carrier ought to be given the Congressional Medal of Honor. Maybe a Purple Heart or two, and he can run for Da Presidente of this country.
DOH, I forgot. The Postmasters have to "connect with local businesses" to drum up new revenue. That way they can get MORE bonuses. No time to defend the troops on the streets.
Oracle: "Who protects him in the office?"
Just one intelligent comment would be such a breath of fresh air.
It is a local police problem. Depending on the size of the block the letter carrrier is there perhaps 30 minutes a day while the rest of the neighbors must live there.
How many postal police are they anyway? If they must patrol residential streets to protect us we just might have to draft policemen
This is what is known as "universal service." As you well know, that's when you deliver mail to animals in the slums.
Got them to agree to stop shooting?? Why the fawk didn't they throw all those fookers in jail??
where are those bad-ass weasel inspectors when you need-'em? Oh, that's right.....when someone is in harms way, they go the other way! Wouldn't want to get hurt while making $100,000 per year.
Quit cutting PPO (postal police) jobs and let us protect the employees who are just trying to do their jobs. If inspectors don't want to do it, PPOs will.
