Agree that the “Anti-police” sentiment contributes to the underlying problem. But I’m steadfastly opposed to taxpayer resources be apportioned to the procurement of military vehicles and armaments by the local law enforcement instead of community gymnasiums and programs which simultaneously employ the community and enrich the lives of adolescents who literally have nothing else to do other than sit on the corner. I saw it in over the Rhine in the 90’s and I’m seeing the decades old effects of it in north philly today. Shit is ****** up. Everywhere. New desperately need a unified front when it comes to solving the inner city youth crisis at the bare minimum. We can move on to actual rehabilitation and reduction of recidivism after that. But we gotta start somewhere.
