If we want change in this neighborhood, we need to ban together and hold these elected officials accountable. Let's ask the councilman and the community board what are they doing to combat the crime rather than blaming the police. Start calling their phones and visiting their offices to get answers. Change only come by taking actions. We can also voice our dissatisfaction by voting. Voting does matter point in reference all neighborhoods is not high crime areas, the community actually come out in numbers.
@joeann12 facts where is Charles Barron??? He only comes out for photos and news conferences that make him look good. He and his wife’s office isn’t even open regularly.
Sad to say when we kill each other its over looked and gains no attention but when a cop kills us in the same manner we protest march and contradict everything we’re fighting for
@Ayoungblackmale yep makes no sense
They wanted to arrest him but he had a weapon he came at them with a weapon and everyone mad but if it was a person that shot another person it wouldn’t be as big right ?
How is the cop wrong was he supposed to get his head lopped off by a psycho with a machete
