Mayor Sid out of ideas. Wants the young thugs to have a curfew now.

The only solution democrats have is to treat every one like the lowest common denominator. Anything but address the root of the problem.

BRPD spokesperson L’Jean McKneely Jr. suggested that more police cameras and ‘force multipliers’ like license plate readers could prevent such incidents by deterring crime or providing evidence for investigations. However, Washington’s neighborhood already has cameras and the shooting still occurred.

Yes Lejean, let’s go get them AFTER they commit the crime. Or maybe, just maybe, you could figure out how to PREVENT the crime. Maybe by putting more cops on the street. As has been done in the FQ and in DC. This isn’t difficult. More police on patrol will discourage unlawful behavior. If you find a way to get some judges elected who actually prosecute criminals, that will help too.
Lejean, you’re a fricking embarrassment to the uniform. You don’t even suggest preventing the carnage. You just want fancy toys to help “investigate” the aftermath. And we all see how successful that is with the Allie Rice investigation, right?

Midnight. Basketball. Basketball at midnight.

Sid has kinda sucked so far.

was so busy licking his chops for the library money and hasn’t focused on anything else

The only way to fix the problem is for extreme action to be taken.

Sid has been a total turd in the punch bowl. It’s as if he ran on a dare with absolutely no plan if he actually won. I can’t think of a single thing he’s done that’s had any meaningful impact. Completely lost apparently.

Back in the nineties, when crack cocaine became a huge problem, politicians came up with the idea that we should institute midnight basketball so the disenfranchised and fatherless thugs would have something to focus on other than robbing, stealing and cutting up each other.

Never mind that it could be accomplished by getting an 8 hour job, coming home and being a father to your kids.

Worked about as well as windshield wipers on a dogs arse.
Midnight Basketball

Mayor Sid has accomplished about exactly nothing since taking office. But his campaign was basically "I'm a white guy who has some black friends" and compared to the stunningly incompetent Sharon Broome, that was enough to win.

But there's no real plan and BR is in triage, to fix this city will take hard choices and actions that largely will not align with the NBR community. Baton Rouge is also broke with basically no major resources to dedicate to crime prevention.

Needs to be an all out press targeting judges, prosecutors, probation officers to use the fullest extent of the law available to remove every violent criminal.

If I was the mayor of a crime-ridden shithole, I would have a weekly press conference with huge production values, like a game show. And I would blast, criticize and ridicule every DA and judge that didn’t do their job.

I would either fix the problem or go out with a bang. I hate half-measures.

It's a bullshite marketing tool to show politicians care about crime ... it's so ineffective and pointless it's not funny.
