When police understand that the less contact they have with criminals the less chance they’ll be in a situation where they could have their careers ruined or even be wrongfully prosecuted for a legitimate use of force, it doesn’t take criminals long to respond to the void.

Anyone who is surprised by this is a damn fool.

I'm a native who attended DCPS EOTP, but as an older adult, I guess I'm more aware to what is going on in the city. I know I sound like a broken record, but folks are still moving here left and right.

Agreed! I also grew up here and am only realizing as an adult how awful it is the city leadership continues to ignore the issues in half the city. I was desensitized as a child, and apparently I'm not the only one. It's unconscionable how many residents are murdered.

+1 to all that. I was mentioning on the Trayvon White thread earlier how irrelevant his racism against Jewish people is to the actual issues of the ward.

Everyone has looked the other way on local issues when she stands in front of her use of lane dividing paint on a city street and yet, people are dying and businesses closing, schools are not fully reopen and homelessness is everywhere - right behind her back.

She has a household name I’m guessing.

THIS. Same reason why teens committing crimes are out of control.

They need to wall off the city and toss a bunch of guns in then come back in a year to reopen

This is nothing. Wait till we defund the police. The crazy thing is most crimes committed by blacks are to other black people. Black Lives Matter, you know.
