Blame the criminals, not the victims.

They also need to get rid of all the tweakers that are mainly in downtown Tacoma

Meanwhile all the real criminals live in the suburbs

This kind of policing was called Racist in NYC. 🤷‍♂️

Why bother wasting the cops time if there are going to be no consequences, I firmly believe that this all could have been figured out without hiring "criminologists"

[crun]

well they used to do that but it was called profiling ?

[captng]

Thing is the police and laws are absolutely worthless if there's no prosecution or example set.. I would say the police shouldn't be deployed so activist cannot use them as a scapegoat when it all goes horribly wrong.

Bullshit!! I call BS!!
I'm currently a living person in WA States, Thurston Cty!!
Let's talk about "Reporting Crimes" for just a second. If you ate a victim if rape, domestic violence abuse, or the parent of a child who divulges they have been molested. DO NOT REPORT IT! I repeat Do Not Report it! Not to law enforcement! Not to some organization/institution to be betrayed, Not to a Pediatrician or Dr, Not to a school, Not to CPS, & most critically, Do Not Report it in a Family Court!
You will NOT be believed! You WILL be discredited, demoralized, dehumanized, pathologized, stripped of any & all said rigts, your voice, your choice, and your Child!!
You WILL be absurdly sanctioned, ordered into involuntary servitude, & made to jump through hoop after hoop if you EVER want to see your Child again!!
The culpable perpetrator causing Harm should be incarcerated but if they have money or a FREE CRIMINAL JUSTICE LAWYER, They will be awarded custody of said child, and all actual victims will be blamed, ignored, abandoned, oppressed, additionally targeted, tormented, tortured, revictimized, retraumatized, & oppressed!!
THIS IS the TRUTH!!!

Isn't this how stop and frisk got started? We are not going to police our way out of this situation. Because I visualize nothing but harassment by the police.

And if I am a law firm. I would strongly focus on the police and how they proceed with their policies regarding that particular area.
