I would give some credence to the clergy if they were publicly urging their congregants to refrain from illegally carrying firearms, to report known criminals to the police, and to testify against criminals in court.
All these things would improve the neighborhoods and lower crime. Failing to do these things encourages criminal activity.

You can't say the clergy is doing nothing.
I saw them passing out signs that read "Peace in the Streets".
All good.

The "community" is stuck in the "snitches get stitches" "**** the police" lifestyle by their own choice.
It's just a sever lack of personal responsibility.
"Somebody do something!" "No, not me, somebody else do something!"

I don't really know how they pull themselves out of it when it's so ingrained in the popular culture.

Mrs. MarkC and I lived in Perry Township between 2006 and 2014. The deterioration of the area was visible. We're glad to be out of Marion County.

When I moved to Indy in 2001, Perry Meridian was one of the tops in the state (iirc). Since then, it's been on a steady decline to one of the worst.

And trust me - it isn't the fault of the teachers and admin.

That's my Alma Mater (1978). It's definitely changed since then!

Although I didn't have kids in the Perry Township schools, they struck me as being well-run. Our next door neighbor was a single mom who was Dean of Girls at Arsenal, and she had a teenage daughter with special needs in a program at PMHS. The schools were doing super job with her.

The "no snitching" rule only applies to major crimes like murder and robbery. But people will dime a MF out for anything less. It is comical, akshually.

Seems to me, as an observer, that once bussing in students from Brightwood stopped - things are SLOWLY, and I do mean SLOWLY, turning around. But it's a tough slog.

A ) not that immigrants are the problem (They're not), but when you can't speak English - it's hard to do well in school. And B ) not all immigrant cultures have the same values regarding education. And the immigrant population in Perry Township has EXPLODED in recent years due to Federal relocation/aid/refugee programs.

What a bunch of

 

[Doug]

From what the pastor said about "seeing young black men as a danger," it seems some think a police uniform is the same as a Klan hood and sheets. He seems to think all police are racist regardless of their race.

That's the part that makes the community "unsafe" and they won't do anything about it cuz rules.

That was my thought as well. It's a two-way street.

Apparently there have been at least two dozen death threats against officers after this shooting. Rick Snyder (FOP president) is pissed. Wants the city government to speak out against the threats. Says so far only one city council member has done so.

Don't have a link... watching the story on WTHR right now.

So yeah... sorry "pastors". Get your own damned flock under control. They're the problem, not the cops.

All from burner phones?

I'd be rounding em up on a warrant and puttin' em in the same pen with the escaped goats.

...but the goats might object.

They didn't give many details but did show at least one video that had been posted to social media (Facebook) where they were making the threat. Showed a patrol car in the officer's driveway.
