I can never forget that horrible murder. I will also never forget how the Apple employees next door heard someone call for help—and did nothing. IIRC, they were chastised by the judge. Deplorable.
Apple had hired security because they were releasing a new iPad and they said they were only hired for the Apple Store when asked to check it out.

I am absolutely fascinated by Brittany Norwood. I can’t believe she attacked that victim so savagely.

Because then people will have to realize that voting for the council and county exec who are allowing this to happen was the wrong thing and they would never admit that.
The county council has nothing to do with this. You sound insane.

Are you saying that local politicians have no influence over crime? I disagree. Crime can increase or decrease as a direct result of public policies that are out in place by our local politicians.
You do truly get what you vote for.
If you look at the data on this it’s largely untrue. Policies matter but in general crime goes up or down because of bigger factors. County councils don’t cause huge policy changes that can affect crime. I do think unofficial police strikes can, but that’s not policy.
Moral in the police is low, and they are having trouble recruiting. That is largely due to council policies of "defund the police", or "police are bad".
Grow up.
Why does the PP need to grow up?
The connection between the council’s attacks on MCPD and MCPD’s low morale has been established. It isn’t immature to point it out.
This thread is about increased crime in the county. Multiple posters are saying that the police department has decreased in size and in function because of the council, so it’ll be harder for MCPD to respond to calls. That’s the natural consequence of the council’s reforms and we now live with it.
I’d propose that it’s time for the council to stop policing and allow the police to do their jobs again, which would also make the county look less attractive to those wishing to commit crimes. Do you have a solution to propose, as well?
No there is not a connection. There is a connection to cops being video taped and held accountable and the ridiculously racist Blue Live Matter trope that has infiltrated all cops around the country.
Crime has increased due to poverty and a pandemic nationwide.
Obviously getting rid of racist and ignorant cops will bring more cops, if you don't have to worry about going to jail because your buddy put his knee on a citizen's neck and killed him while you stood there complicit, that would be a great start. Cops are afraid of cops and video tapes not the council.

It's a bunch of old liberal white people who hate police. But who suffers from the violent crime? Young Black men. The racial equity initiatives are working SO well.

Then they’re crybabies and we needed to reform the force anyway.
ok, will you be the first to volunteer? If you get robbed, will you be calling the "crybabies" police, or the progressive county council?
How would you like to work for an organization where another organization that directly impacts your funding hates you?
That would be most of the federal government

This is that vibrant urbanism that Hans Riemer takes credit for.

Time to move to Florida.
ROFL. Never, but please, move there yourself. I'm sure you'll enjoy it among your fellow regressives.
