Something is wrong with today’s law enforcement.

Last week, a blind man, while crossing a street outside of a crosswalk, was subsequently hit by a truck and cited for jaywalking. The citation resulted with a ticket — an amount around $100.

Did the officer believe the law was blind to those who are blind?

Did he consider the fact the man was initially struck by a vehicle.

One would think this charge is ludicrous, that it would not happen here in the US, but it actually happened in Cincinnati.

This is the same town where a sixty-three year old woman — while on her way to declare bankruptcy — decided to feed an expired meter for an unknown person and ended up arrested and recently convicted.

What has our country’s law enforcement come to when justice is blind to common sense?

The arresting officer in the woman’s case called her a threat to society.

A threat to whom? Are you not sleeping at night because someone may be feeding your meter?

Granted, officials decided not to prosecute the jaywalker. However, the citation should never have been given to a blind man in the first place.

It is the city’s responsibility to provide safe crosswalks for those who cannot see, let alone read a citation given to them.

Law enforcement is provided to protect and to serve. Officers should take this into consideration the next time a blind man is hit by a truck.
