UMPD Deathstar, errr, Incident Command Center deployed
So once again beefed up Amherst and UMass police patrols seemed to keep the peace in our little college town over the long weekend, although officials also put into play the "Walk This Way" campaign late Saturday night into early Sunday morning to keep roving bands of college aged youths from disturbing neighborhoods immediately adjacent to southern UMass.

Stephanie is looking to get herself on the receiving end of a civil rights violation complaint -- she is a town official with actually more authority than a police officer -- it wouldn't take much to make her "request" into a "violation of civil rights under color of law."
If by "color of law" you mean the yellow shirt she is wearing, then yes, I agree. It's hideous! She should be fine by the FASHION police.
Listening to parents who can't find and haven't heard from their children gives one perspective -- Amherst, you really don't know what real problems are.
