Black on black crime needs to stop. If Black Lives Matter then help do something about it. Bring back mental health clinics, more police present in high crime areas, more youth outreach in the parks and at the YMCA. Young people if you like being controlled and told what to do on a daily basis then prison is the place to be.
Marquis Dawson we need help!!!! Beautifying Western only covers up the dirt. Let’s decrease crime, stop the homeless from living on the sidewalks and in motor homes on city and county streets, increase youth centers. Shut down illegal dispensaries, especially next to churches and businesses. Listen to the stakeholders in your district. Stop talking and show us.
