Has anyone investigated the DNC's part in this?
"It was brought to our attention there was a group of citizens in the area that don't feel the police are serving the community the best we can," said Sgt. Shawn Sisk, who leads the district's community policing office. "We can't stop that from happening; however, we're not going to support it. We dont want that to send a false sense of security to the neighborhood."
That seems to be an admission the neighborhood, a low crime middle class, isn't safe, and that there's nothing the police can do to correct the situation.
That said, most Jewish institutions in the area have security, this is a bit unusual only in that it seems to be for the neighborhood.
