GET INFORMED!- WHAT WILL YOU DO?

All credit to Mr. Brad Franklin on this one.


Frustrated? Saddened that 3 kids were shot a couple days ago?
Angry after hearing about the triple homicide? Fed up? You want to move?


Who ya blaming? Jackson?? JPD?
You want the crime to stop but you dont want the police "all up in your hood". You should have to do NOTHING but sit at home and wait for the police to round up all the bad people?? Some of yall complaining and you KIN to or KNOW some of the folks that are out here creating the chaos you complaining about


Is there a homeowners or neighborhood association where you live? Have you joined it? Do you go to meetings? IS there a neighborhood watch where you live? Do you participate? Is your neighborhood even organized? Do you go to the C.O.P.S mtgs in your precinct? Do you even know about them? But its ALLLLL JPD's fault right? Theyre incompetent right? But YOU know who sells the dope in your hood. Most of us do. You partying with em. You know where they posted. Folks dying cuz its a dope war on the streets but you expect JPD to be everywhere. Your hood is under siege but you waiting for the SWAT team to come in and clean it up? You dont get the idea of "community" I see.


Me? Im ON my neighborhood's board. I GO to C.O.P.S mtgs. I joined my neighborhoods social media group. Im helping organize neighborhood watches. Why? (and this is gonna be harsh to some) cuz these vigils, marches, rides, whatever we keep having ARE NOT WORKING! In fact...they aint doin s***!! No offense. I will support. It feels good at the moment but have produced NO results.


Look...I dont like the police any more than some of you. Im a Black male whos been accosted, profiled, and talked bad to by law enforcement. But Im also not Batman. So with that said we've got to learn to squash the antagonistic nature of the relationship between the hood and the police. And learn how to create VILLAGES again. COMMUNITY again. Not just "hood" but NEIGHBORhood. That is...if you REALLY want to start making things safer.

And to add to that, a fourth body has just been found on Moon Street. We have to wake up. 

How do you feel.
