Placeholder Image
Black Friday boasts lots of sales, but with them come some pushing and shoving. In anticipation of door-busting sales in the city, officers from the Gainesville Police Department will be on hand to monitor crowds. “What we do is have officers who have signed up to monitor several of your major department stores — Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target,” said Cpl. Joe Britte, spokesman for the department.
