[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The police have got to do a better job in DTSS.  It seems to attract youth from neighboring areas and shootings have gotten out of control.  Years ago, it wasn't like this.  It's a shame and I feel sorry for the businesses that will suffer when people don't feel safe going there anymore.[/quote]

There have only been a few people shot in DTSS in the last few years. Lots of other crimes, lots of gunshots at night with no one reported hit, but there isn’t an epidemic of people being shot.

And what do you mean about attracting youth from neighboring areas? Bringing in people who don’t live in 20910 is a goal of the area. 20910 residents can’t support businesses on our own. We want people to come from all over to shop, eat, and enjoy entertainment and recreation venues. Most youth are not committing any crimes. They are however, often working class and Black or Brown which triggers the gentrifiers. Not louder than WJ and Churchill kids at Montgomery Mall. Not ruder than kids at Whitman, Wootten,or MoCo’s private HSs.[/quote]

WJ, Churchill, Wooten, Whitman, and private school kids are not shooting people in parking garage stairwells.  [/quote]
