[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting more police doing the same old thing isn't going to solve these problems.  More social services, more emergency workers who can address social problems - that's what we need.  Yesterday I saw a young man very high and very loud who I have seen maybe two times before in the same condition.  He got into an argument with a woman who told him to put his clothes back on.  I'm not calling the police on him but I'd like to be able to call someone.  And why would the police want to deal with this guy anyway?  They should be focusing on crime, not on crazy youngsters who are getting high in public.

Also there have been maybe 20 murders in my neighborhood in the last 20 years.  Do you really think bringing more police is going to stop that?  The police are already here!  They respond quickly after every shooting.  OP, they are not able to stop the shootings.  What we need are more violence interrupters, more social services, more things that provide a future for people who right now think they have no future and nothing to lose by using guns to solve disputes.

I understand why you feel the way you do, OP.  But you need to ask yourself why what we've been doing for years hasn't worked.[/quote]

Thank you!  I'll never forget when my black son was bringing groceries into the house from the car.  He had on SpongeBob pajama pants.  The police office rolled up and yelled at him - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?  My son responded minding my business.  Oh that's great policing.  We want more to harass our kids.  That seems productive.  That was in Colonial Village.  You know, bastion of crime.[/quote]Wow, Colonial Village....boggles the mind that the police would find your son suspicious.  SMH.[/quote]
