I understand that police have a difficult, sometimes very dangerous job. They are paid to enforce the laws and protect citizens; however, I am appalled that Lisbon police waste their time harassing kids riding their bikes or skateboards.

I know that from experience. I am a teenager from Lisbon Falls and I get yelled at all the time for riding my bike around town.

The police should be focusing on more important things.

If they do not want kids biking or skateboarding around town, they should sponsor the construction of a skate park in Lisbon Falls.
