Same old talk from Hogsett and his band of merry puppets.
Hogsett needs to resign. Indy needs a real leader. Hogsett is not up to the job, in many ways.
Are they going to remove all the food trucks, because apparently our elected idiots think the trucks are the problem?
Let our police do their jobs.
Hogsett and the prosecutors office won’t do theirs.
Lock up the bad guys. Pretty simple.
Also simple: people are not allowed to sleep/camp on public sidewalks and lands.
that would require IMPD to leave their cars while parked downtown… pretty tall order
How ironic that Caitlyn Clark can add to her resume the ability to get the mayor’s office and city to stand behind the police doing their job. Thank you, Caitlyn. Too bad you weren’t her prior to the BLM Antifa riots that we still haven’t recovered from.
I have no confidence in this mayor, prosecutor or some of the Marion County judges that they can tamp down the violence temporarily or permanently!! How outrageous is it that they’ll seek to do this only bc of events coming to the city!!!! The state needs to take this over….or Indianapolis will die….maybe its too late, but I hope not!
Enforce existing laws. Lock up dangerous / repeat offenders… build more jails…
So you mean Democrats are now in favor of maintaining law and order? I find that hard to believe; it doesn’t go with their national political narrative.
Maybe if the republicans put up an actual candidate we would consider them to even care?
Democrats are incapable of self-reflection or “lessons learned”!! No Republican can win and get things back to sanity bc the media and the Dems, excuse the redundancy, will label that candidate “Pro-life”….as if the “Pro-death” party has done anything good! Over the past 20 years, Republicans have fled Marion County. The Democrats don’t care how many grieving mothers there are…they just don’t! They’ll shout their idiotic slogans and cheers….meanwhile, people die! I grew up on the East side…The Little Flower area. Within blocks of my old house, its a killing field. One common denominator of urban America….run by Democrats. There’s just no redeeming value to the party of hate and death!
Boss Hogsett and Mears in charge…what could go wrong this weekend?
Based on this article it actually sounds like all the stake holders have a pretty good plan in place, whether you trust or believe the mayor or the prosecutor. Also gotta realize ISP will be around and I’m assuming plain clothes law enforcement. There are a lot of areas to be covered within the larger downtown area. 11 pm to 6 am will be the critical times.
Good luck to all involved!
Isn’t it a sad commentary that all of your points even need to be made. Realize that most of the “plans” will be reacting after the fact. No one is willing, due to political correctness, to address the real issues and who the actors are. And then we get into profiling etc.
If some of the idealists were actually present to see the roving gangs (nothing the city or media want to address) they may have a different perspective.
I actually have been there, witnessed it, and had to deal with it.
This is not utopia.
I honestly do not know how the police go to work everyday, like ground hog day.
