Dallas’ spiking murder rate sparks ‘Think Before You Thug’ movement
Former crooks, community leaders and cops have a message to Dallas’ gang members: “Think before you thug.” City Council member Erik Wilson announced the provocatively named awareness campaign Wednesday at City Hall. Wilson said a recent sharp rise in violent crime and slayings – Dallas had 14 more murders this year as of Monday than the city recorded on the same date last year — prompted the effort. “This is an important issue,” Wilson said. “One life lost is one life too many.” The campaign is similar in some ways to the pro-Dallas police campaign Operation Blue Shield, which also pushed a community awareness message. But unlike that campaign, “think before you thug” will not be led by business and political elites, Wilson said. “This is not a top-down effort,” Wilson said. “This is a bottom-up movement.” More at: http://cityhallblog.dallasnews.com/2016/04/dallas-spiking-murder-rate-sparks-think-before-you-thug-movement.html/ |

How about start charging juvi felony offenders as ADULTS, instead of letting them out in a few months? And the few months only comes after multiple felony offenses. Pathetic.

This is the problem with social media and community oriented policing in modern day.
Tired of the people hired to come up with dumb public relations ideas instead of solve problems. |

As long as they leave the citizens alone. the lifestyle is keeping the numbers in check pretty well IMHO.... see Chicago murder rates as a example. unfortunately it does occasionally escape the hood and effect honest decent peaceful citizens way too often as well though.

“This is an important issue,” Wilson said. “One life lost is one life too many.” Strongly disagree. |
