Don't blame the city or police for the disgraceful, disrespectful behavior during Memorial Day weekend and the mess on the beach. A generation or two of parents have failed. They chose to be friends instead of parents. They taught their kids that their rights are all that mattered, don't respect authority or police and nobody can tell them what to do. Whatever they do, parents will get them out of it, no consequences and of course the kids don't lie. It wasn't them. Well, now we see the result. It's not the city that wasn't prepared, it was absent, selfish parents.
