This will only change once the community takes a stand and people stop protecting the ones who are doing the shootings

As@October15196stop with the political nonsense . The republicans tried to take over the govt on January 6 by violence so your point is moot . Crime won’t stop until people don’t feel hopeless and despair and resort to crimes to feed themselves or their families .
