Gun Violence

Gun Violence in the cities. Local news highlights this past weekend in DC. Shootings continue to escalate, several people shot including a 6 year old girl that died. Actions and consequences. The past two years people have called for defunding of police. Communities openly condemn police. They hamper police in doing their jobs and protect criminals by not cooperating with police. The atmosphere is that police are the problem and criminals are righteous and actually made into hero\"s for defying police. Not confirmed but human nature... Police are no doubt limiting their response to crime since communities openly condemn police. Now that the criminals are hero\"s verses the police being vilified, violent crime is on the rise. So can communities expect crime to drop when basically condemning police? Criminals get violent and police are condemned for meeting criminal violence with a matched response.

Actions verses consequences. Police action is reduced,  it\"s what they advocated and demonstrated for, and violent crime is on the rise. A recent TV poll indicated that 90% of people in DC don\"t feel safe. 

Beyond understanding... kinda like the old saying... Be careful what you ask for, you may not get what you ask for.
