She did such a great job with staffing that we are 300 officers short?
Maybe if our Soros funded Prosecutor would do his job, the good officers would stay and new ones would want to join.
Until then, Moms will keep losing their thug kids to other thugs. Truth hurts, but kids raised by bad parents in bad schools do bad things. Keep your kids in school and off the streets and lock up the others.
So many interesting takes here… We as a country spent 250 years destroying black families and now that we are 40 year out of redlining we are blaming these same families for having a broken home unit?
That is some serious victim blaming…
People like Bernard just use a list of Trump Talking Points to spit out nonsensical garbage that has no basis in fact and isn’t even worth refuting bc it’s so beyond reality that there’s no saving him. He’ll continue to further isolate himself from his more rational friends and family until he looks in the mirror one morning and realizes he’s completely alone
Bernard is spot on in his comments. This person being promoted may have some qualifications but could be just as easily a DEI hire
Jeffrey, Bernard likely got his job via DEI (by being white) and just projects his shortcomings on others. not smart to validate angry people…
Bernard has no solutions. Don’t see him telling the state to stop using the Marion County jail to house their prisoners on the cheap, thereby reducing the capacity for other prisoners. Don’t see him willing to pay more in taxes to fully utilize the capacity of the existing building. Don’t see him supporting programs for at-risk teenagers to get IUD’s to stop the cycle of teen pregnancy. Don’t see him wanting his tax dollars spent on education.
We are getting exactly the results we should expect given our unwillingness to pay for the results we desire. It’s far cheaper to blame others and lie to yourself that you got to where you are totally on your own, that others or previous generations didn’t help you.
JJ, could you point out to me in Bernard’s comments where he mentioned anything about black families?
Rena if you need me to explain a dog whistle you’re too slow to understand anything else.
Good luck to ya! Ain’t easy being poor and uneducated
Congratulations to the new police chief. Here’s the real test: will Indianapolis finally move beyond car-based, blacked out windows-up “presence” and return police to the street?
In the heart of downtown, and especially Monument Circle, the most common image of policing is a parked squad car. engine running, black windows rolled up with an officer inside completely invisible. No foot patrols and no bike patrols (don’t tell me. “but we do have some sometimes – maybe we do. but I live and work downtown and never see them, so crooks don’t either). No human interataction. That makes downtown so often feel abandoned and vaguely ominous – not safe. Other Midwestern cities understand this, with officers walking beats, known to shopkeepers, visible to residents, workers and visitors. This deters low-level disorder like five dudes occupying a bus shelter enjoying there malt liquors, and their buddy passed out on the sidewalk. Old-fashioned walking police beats build trust, support street life and make people feel good and safe – so they businesses and workers and residents stay instead of fleeing and visitors come back again and again – more vibrance, more investment, more tax revenue to make the place nicer – a virtuous cycle. A parked cruiser does none of that. Blue-light towers like those now parked on Washington Street are especially counterproductive – literally a “cop-out.” They they do nothin but warn “danger, this place is unsafe.” Not a deterrent to real thugs and no substitute for real cops. Bring back more officers of foot, please.
