It’s unfortunate that Indianapolis and other cities are dealing with this very same issue. Not sure what’s the issue other than people unable to deal with disagreements without the use of violence. This isn’t a racial thing but a social issue that’s trending nationwide. I would suggest the city install cameras all around Broad Ripple, bar owners must have working cameras in and out their respective businesses. More uniformed and plain clothed officers in the area and the strip should be closed off to cars and pedestrian only from 8pm to maybe 2am. Essential personal only can drive through the strip at those designated hours. I truly believe most people come to the area to enjoy Indys night life but these are unfortunately the times we live in and being proactive is better than being reactive.
Lol
Don’t know why Murray is laughing. I agree with this.
Not sure closing the strip to cars after 8:00 pm will do much. It’s been closed to cars since September 2022 and this violence still occurred. Can they identify through police runs and investigation which clubs seem to be the biggest problem and pull their permits?
Randy–
It’s only a “social issue that’s trending nationwide” because one party has decided that law enforcement is mean and criminals just need kindness to transform themselves. We’re seeing, in places where that one party has dominance, exactly how naive this way of thinking is. To call it the “times we live in” is to willfully blind one’s self to the obvious source.
While it would behoove bar owners to install working cameras throughout their facilities, this is an expense they’re being forced to incur because the City is derelict in its responsibilities. In other words, it’s “reactive” rather than “proactive”.
Wow Lauren, nice parroting of Retrumplican talking points. Perhaps you should find outlets for information other than Faux News Network. A simple google search reveals just the opposite of your claim (red states that voted for Don the Con have much higher murder rates). This should not be a political issue at all.
This article clearly highlights the total lack of leadership from our mayor, IMPD, and the BRVA.
Peter, you have any better ideas to give?… I lived in BRip for 5 years and never experienced any of this. Had my share of 2am, 20min drunk walks back to our house. It’s pretty clear the people causing these issues don’t live in the neighborhood.
Because that’s what you WANT to “read”!
It seems that so-called small government types are clamoring for the government to fix their problems. Why should those of us who don’t live near Broad Ripple have to pay for special police protection for private businesses there?
