[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone posted on Nextdoor that a woman was knocked to the ground and had her purse stolen at 11 am at the giant on ew highway. Nice to see silver spring continuing its descent into third world country status. [/quote]

DCUMers would say she should feel lucky they didn’t hurt her.  It is the price to pay to live in a vibrant city.  More police will only hurt the minorities.  [/quote]

“More police” won’t protect you. The guy who killed his pregnant girlfriend and the gas station check lived in a building where you can see the police station. That’s certainly “more police” than would be mustered to DTSS and yet it didn’t stop him from murdering his pregnant gf at home or the gas station clerk nearby. “More police” just makes (White) people feel safer when they are around Black and Brown people. No evidence that it keeps law-abiding people of color safer. [/quote]

So what is your solution for the rising crime rates in DTSS? If you believe police can’t help, what will?

I’m genuinely curious. The task force suggestion to reduce policing levels by 50% in the midst of rising crime seems very illogical to me. If you have a solution that doesn’t involve police, please share it.

Cameras? Community volunteers willing to walk the area? Volunteer escorts to/from garages? Reduced hours for the metro? How should the county respond when violent crimes continue in spite of these efforts?
