[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And this is why when people tell me they're going to raise their kids in Brookland I just shake my head. This was a good kid, [b]dad is a cop,[/b] and wasn't in the thug lifestyle, and just got hit by a stray bullet. Awful.[/quote]

OP here.  Not to quibble, but I think the mom was the cop.  From the article:

"Sydnor’s mother is a 30-year police veteran who has worked as a detective in the homicide unit and is now assigned to the youth division handling sexual abuse cases."

So sad, and ironic in the case of mom's prior work on the homicide unit.  I so wish I knew how to address the entrenched crime in the city more effectively. :([/quote]
You can address it by demanding there is not revolving door for adjudicated youth! Post ran an expose this past year on how their crimes take a heavy toll on this city. Look it up and read it!  Stupid council members like mcguffin or duffin or whatever his name is love pats on the wrist and, propose paying criminals to not commit crimes. Contact your politicians and tell them you are voting them out if they don't either actually rehabilitate these youth (which means they wouldn't recommit) or give them consequences with teeth. This young lady is someone's precious baby girl. Do something. I'm calling Mary Cheh my rep and in Bounds council member for Wilson tomorrow. This is appalling. Children's lives matter in our city. Her life matters. She was just a young girl a teen looking forward to her next chapter. This is Not acceptable and yes things can be done.  [/quote]
