Are they doing anything to slow this stuff down?  I just read where they took over 300 officers off desk duty and put them in high crime areas.  It doesn't really seem to doing anything.  The gangs just keep shooting.

I sometimes peruse some of the gangbanger's Facebook pages.  There is one kid who was jailed for a gun charge from December 2014 until mid August.  He was released on home confinement with one of the ankle monitors.  This week he posted a video of him cutting the thing off his ankle.  These guys just don't care.  It's either the streets, jail, or the cemetary, they don't really care what happens to them.

I understand that this is not only a law enforcement issue.  The problem starts with the breakdown of families, kids not being raised correctly, etc.  The schools are like a free for all where very limited learning takes place.  The limited education leads to limited job opportunities.  Selling drugs is the best living they can make and the wars start.  I'm sure it's much mor complex than that but those are a few of the big issues.

The reverends Jessie and Al are nowhere to be found.  It just seems everyone blames law enforcement when an army is needed to root these bastards out.

The problem seems to be growing and I don't see how it can be stopped.

Do they have another 300 plus cars just sitting there ready for these officers to hit the street?  I see the problem as being greater than what the any police force can solve.  Yet they are the ones blamed for the violence.

To me this is a disaster big enough to call in the National Guard.  Even that is reacting to the end of the problem and not preventing it in the first place.
