The quote in the article sums up the law enforcement strategy of the Mayor and Chief over the last four years: We are not going to proactively police your community. If someone does something wrong, we want you to tell us who did it.

SWB and the "Police Chief" are clowns.

Dear Chief, if one of your men screws up in the slightest, there will be 20+ videos on the news, but if a person of color kills a person of color, no one will see anything. Once you accept that reality, you will stop begging in the media for the public to come forward.
PS, please increase staff at the coroner’s office to address the increase in victims now that you and the mayor have addressed the problems facing the community in North Baton Rouge.

I don't understand why people keep saying this when they are also part of the community as well.

If people would come together instead of saying "clean your dirty laundry" I believe we can make an impact. But since it's not directly impacting your circle or where you live, people don't give a frick. Just think of the good that could be done if people would change that mindset and contribute towards finding solutions instead of pointing blame and walking away.
what's your PLAN?? what's gonna SOLVE it?? congrats, you have the same number of answers as the current mayor.
worthless words.

B/c we aren't part of that community. When they start bringing their community bad habits to my community, i'll do what every american has done since the beginning of our country, find a better part of america to live in.

WHy do i have to find solutions for these idiots? Here's my solution....

If the people that need the cleaning up had a brain and wanted to help themselves, this would work, but they don't want to put in the work to help themselves, they want to be given everythign and bitch about why other people are more successful in life.

Exactly. I also don't give a frick what's going on in London, or Paris, or Tokyo, or Nigeria, or Iran, or Bangkok.

Again, why is it my problem to solve? TOPS has given every poor kid in this state an opportunity to easily get a college degree over the last 20 years. There are a shite load of plants that any idiot can work their arse off at and make good bank. Stop asking me to help people that don't want to be helped. I will continue to point blame at those that deserve it, and when it starts to affect me, i'll walk away and find a better place to live, which is how this country was founded.

so what do you recommend we do aside from vague action statements like "lets all come together"
Problem is, all too often, when a lot of those people come together, it seems a gat comes out and a couple more get shot. They're no more interested in fixing their problems than I am.
In fact, I'm not even sure they view their lives AS a problem.

What time are you serving the rainbow stew?
I get what you are saying but be honest with yourself, the black violent criminals don't give a shite about the community. They don't give a shite about stopping the violence and they don't give a shite about white people asking them to stop.
Posted on 9/15/20 at 8:52 am to Hammond Tiger Fan
Let me explain to you why your statement is just plain dumb.
I have taught in three different high schools in NBR. I have watched for years as teachers and administrators, both white and black, tried relentlessly to drag black kids to something as simple as a high school diploma and a shot at at better future, all while they, and their parent(s) fought tooth and nail to remain down in the dirt that is their lives. If you want examples of what I mean I have them for days. But what I'm talking about is when you ask a kid his name so you can speak to him respectfully and he tells you his name is "suck my dick". So you say "Ok, SMD. Let's go to the office" etc. Momma shows up at 1pm in her sweats with no bra, hair up in a shower cap, cussing and screaming at the administrators to quit harassing her baby.
This isn't about resources or money or opportunities. Those things are there. They may not be there in spades but they are there if you try.
This is about a culture of that embraces excuses, failures and blame. This is about a culture that doesn't teach morals or values, and calls out anyone that tries. This is the result of a culture that wants everything to be easy and resents others and the system when it's not.
You can call me racist or whatever. I'm not. I don't dislike black people because the color of their skin. I dislike people who actively sabotage their lives then blame others.
So when you say it takes all of us, or whatever other platitudes you want to shout from the rooftops, just know, I've been there, and "they" aren't doing a damn thing to fix any of this.
And all of this does directly impact "us" as we see crime rise and the local economy suffer.
So you come up with a great plan that effectively works and I'll get on board. But if you think for one second they aren't going to have to do some laundry themselves then I can't help you and you need to educate yourself because you're plain ignorant on this.

I don't understand
What you need to understand is that all plans to clean up communities ultimately come down to individuals choices and ownership of their responsibilities. From the missing dads that don’t raise their children, to the child that picks up the gun for the first time. And by the way, what seems to be glossed over when you say can’t we all come together and fix this is some of us are already tending to our portion of the issue. Our families. Raising, teaching and providing for our children. If not for this type of responsible person, your problem gets larger.

Any white person who mentions anything about this is immediately called a racist.
GTFO with your “come together to find solutions” bull shite.

Because the solution to this particular issue isn't “to start a conversation.”
It’s to foster personal accountability and respect for their peers.
The fact that you say that something “needs to be done as a community” shows you don’t understand the problem.
There IS no broad community outside of family units. There is a subculture that is glorified that has an attitude of “frick all y’all, ima get mine” that terrorizes everyone else into silence and to withdraw from the “community” themselves in order to keep their head down.
It’s not something that can be handled externally.
Especially in this climate where everything except the actual commission of the crime is to be regarded as acceptable behavior and a legit part of cultural identity.
Time and time again I’ve seen people who show respect for any kind of abstract community as part of the larger world, they get derided as an Uncle Tom.
So why don’t you share what you think needs to be done. Because your suggestion of people who don’t even live there coming together sounds awfully like “Gimmie free shite.”
And to be granted socioeconomic issues are part of the problem....but it’s a chicken and the egg moment. It’s not that no money gets invested in NBR both publically or privately. It just turns into a fiscal black hole trying to repair things that get damaged by people who don’t care about their community.
