[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right because all my years working for nonprofits in areas with high poverty and crime mean nothing. [/quote]

Don't mean shit to me so yeah - you right on the money there![/quote]

So you don't care that people work towards actual solutions to inner city problems? [/quote]

No I don't care about your self-aggrandizement.  You can boast about being the Last Grand Master of the Knights Templar - I don't care. [/quote]

I feel bad for you. You are so angry you cannot look passed your need to personally attack someone. [/quote]

Dude I'm over here cracking up with co-workers about how you think somebody is supposed to do cartwheels cause you said you worked for nonprofits in high poverty/crime areas...
 :lol: Who is angry - we over here having a ball; keep it up!!!

I didn't ask for cartwheels. I simply corrected you.

Still find it sad that you ridicule any attempt at a solution. [/quote]

A solution to what?
Oh you got a a solution to the disparity with which some citizens find themselves on the wrong end of an officer's nightstick than others?
You got a solution to the propensity for some citizens to end up getting shot dead by the police instead of apprehended and arrested?
Let's hear.

I gave examples of how community [i]outreach[/i] programs with the police department coupled with community [i]building[/i] can turn a neighborhood around. I worked for organizations that did the latter and saw real results. A reduction in crime, a boost in education, a better relationship between police and community. Better training for officers. Less arrests and more programs to help the every day citizen.

One of the biggest projects I worked with focused on several impoverished crime ridden neighborhoods in Los Angeles in the mid 1990s. Where if you were a latino (like I myself am) you often found yourself on the "wrong end of an officer's nightstick" and had a propensity for "getting shot dead by the police instead of apprehended and arrested". The result? A better educated and trained police force. A higher standard of education. A renewed commercial district and better local jobs. A reduction in gang activity. Less officer deaths/injuries and less officer involved shootings.

It will take effort on both the police department and the community to solve the problems we are seeing now.

Now go ahead and ridicule me and tell me how I don't know anything or don't try to work towards a better standard of living for impoverished communities.

You have the last word. [/quote]
