With the warmer weather
With the warmer weather coming having everyone at home - no money, no jobs - this is the beginning of some major violence issues.
If things get worse a curfew could be coming.
...and the woman was yelling
...and the woman was yelling in officer’s face, resisting, and she punched him first based on video. Police are not punching bags and have a right to protect themselves. Based on the video she was antagonizing the police, and got physical first.
Honestly they showed restraint. Surprised the police don’t have masks and gloves on.
The woman was the shooting victim’s mother
This is not a defense of her behavior or a criticism of the officers - but you have to understand the state she was in.
(I was not directly involved but I was there when the woman was bailed out of jail)
Just a block from ...
... Corona Street.
It is going be a long spring
It is going be a long spring and summer in the projects if things don’t get back to normal fast.
But normal is a long way away
Normal is a long way away, and many of the community-based strategies that would be tried in normal times aren't feasible right now.
If there is a spike in street crime (which it seems from a few incidents I've heard and read about) I think there should be a serious online forum to look at every possible strategy, maybe working out some positive strategies that would carry over into better, normal times as well.
Everywhere
Not just your favorite bias targets. Everywhere.

Tough times for tough people
For those of you who criticize the police for not cracking down on teens playing basketball or riding on dirt bikes watch this video. They are trying to keep the peace not start a war.
Crazy! I can’t believe he
Crazy! I can’t believe he punched her in the face like that. I wonder what Rachel Rollins and Gross is going to say about this. Oh, I already know it was self-defense even with her being held by the other office. Unacceptable behavior
