Great Response "Arturo C." on one of many ways to resolve issues faced by our community. People who believe locking up everyone in the community who are involved in actions that thrive in the economic conditions they see and relate to everyday in everyway are out of touch. People quote Fox news and other idiot Main Stream Media sources and throw out unfounded statistics that do not have context and are without any moral backbone. The mentality towards others needs to change. Funding our school system with the money paid to these police officers would yield comparable statistics and would not disenfranchize many children in the process. It would empower parents and give them a sense of purpose. There are many other avenues to take to resolve these problems but the neighborhoods considered least desirable will not be given an opportunity to recover instead more police pressence is there answer. People who support more police on the street fail to realize that unless you plan on keeping those police there it is a temporary fix. This type of backward thinking will also lead to a serious disconnection between that community and those assigned to protect them, not occupy there territoy. I oppose it not because I want more kids to be shot, that is a response I expect of a person who can't or won't think outside the box provided by the wonderful media, I oppose it because it is not going to remedy the "cause" of ignorance or violence in our community - but only temporarily hinder its effects.
