It has been 2 days, how can anyone say the DA isn't doing anything? Also keep in mind his office will only deal with a couple of these folks. Most were arrested for ordinance violations which are handled in municipal court.
Today is the first day that the courts are open since the arrests.LSCSN said:
Lol, Parsons ain't doing squat.

I think a lot of concern is tone deaf to some of the greater socio-economic challenges in that area. The majority of families and folks are good people trying to do a lot with very little. There are some bad eggs. From what I have seen there isn't some grand agenda of anti-police behavior. I think social media has a greater play into what causes this behavior, and how its rolled into that sentiment. It's bad decisions being made by people with nothing to lose. They don't have a future worth preserving with good decisions.
We have to condemn their actions but also show accountability as a community. We cant solve poverty or lack of opportunities, but you can make a difference in the lives of some.

I know and help a family in that area on Dale st and it's a block from some habitat homes I helped with in the past.
I strongly commend the officers for showing great restraint and bravery. So thankful for your service.

Thanks, Donny. Great post and agree with most of it, and certainly appreciate your efforts to improve others' lives.
That said, all of the good eggs in the immediate surrounding area are the ones who need to step up and stand against the few bad eggs you referenced.
Outsiders of these communities are received at arms length and can't effect change like their own neighbors can. We all have to police our own and hold each other accountable to cultural and community standards to make any lasting difference.
I'm not commending our officers for allowing themselves to be assaulted. I'm commending them for not beating the crap out of the perps or busting a cap or 2 in them. Though that was likely justified, it would have made things much worse. Instead people saw them do another part of their job - they arrested 10 of the punks. Good job BPD.MaroonBloodedAg2010 said:
I think it's a complete failure on society when we commend police for allowing themselves to be assaulted, harassed, and humiliated. We need our police to display a show of force and start locking up every single person involved in these kinds of events to show that behaving like animals won't be tolerated. Sure, they arrested 10 people, but from the videos it looks like a whole lot more should have gone to jail.

Policing our own is correct. If this was my street, I would have been out there trying to stop the behavior of those youngsters "who have nothing to lose". I might have failed, but I definitely would have tried.
I'm pretty confident we are better armed and trained than our neighbors, so both options are open.Quote:
