More preemptive action in Durham.

Nope asking for $60,000 to assess gang violence is just modern politics. The police love the gangs. The scare the public and get the police more funding.

So every podunk town in America claims to have a gang problem that requires that we write the police a blank check. They certainly will not make their blank check machine go away, even if they could.

Durham Police Chief Asks For $60K To Assess Gang Violence


Why don't they just get out and do their jobs instead of hiring consultants?

Gang violence, drugs, prostitution?


Didn't Chalmers just report that things were "shipshape?"
