Insanity- we need to triple the funding.
“Indianapolis is hurting,” Henegar said. “We must stop trying to tweak a rotten system whose roots are riddled with racism. We can only start real change with a bold and shared reimagining of law enforcement policies, practices and cultures.”
Words, words, and more words. Not one word above provides any insight into what Henegar would do to make changes. If things are so rotten it should be easy for him to recommend changes. Another keyboard warrior with nothing but hot air.
Of course the ACLU has to weigh in. Hope that Hogsett has the gonads to tell them what to do with their idea…
Or maybe we could all be adults and have a constructive conversation about making progress, even if we don’t agree with other ideas completely. There must be some compromising that can be done. After all I think we could agree the goal is to better our community.
Job W: “Better our community”
Is that what smashing windows, vandalizing, setting fires is trying to achieve? They sure have a funny way of showing it.
The ACLU still had principles as recently as 4 years ago. Now it’s just another group of well-credentialed activists. Total joke.
Eric M: I don’t believe I ever said that the vandalizing or violent protests were a good idea or a good way to achieve the betterment of our community. I also see the peaceful protests going on that are good and have people working towards that betterment. If you see conversation or a side of a debate that you don’t agree with though and write it off immediately without listening, then that’s part of the problem. That was what I was getting at here, if you don’t agree with the ACLU, or think they are a “joke” then that is fine, but maybe let’s have a real conversation around what will make our community better. And to your point, no, violent protesting is not the way.
Sounds like more of their Socialist Marxist Communist plan for more anarchy and domestic terrorism!
When they get the black community to take ownership of their own self inflicted wounds and we see the propensity of violence severely drop, then we can look at those things later.
ACLU…. FIX THIS!!!
https://www.prageru.com/video/the-top-5-issues-facing-black-americans/
Spot on!
Another thing…
In the last 50 years, trillions of dollars have been spent on the black community’s concerns. The money hasn’t worked yet!!!
And now they are just going to throw more money at it.
No. We saw what happened to downtown.
When did it become ok and acceptable to destroy property and livelihoods, and then put a hand out the next day demanding more money.
They need to quit trying to always be the victim…Fix their own issues first like fathers in the household and actual mothers and fathers raising their children rather than GRANDMA…As they say…Cant fix stupid regardless of $$$$$$$ spent…
Wow, not sure even how to process this statement. Who are you referring to as “They” exactly? This is just a disappointing and disgusting comment to make.
Here is an idea, let’s go ahead and “Defund” the police but let’s move the Indianapolis Police Department under the leadership and management of Jane Henegar & the ACLU. They are always so great at passing judgement on other people’s actions so let’s have them be responsible for the TOTAL safety & security of Indianapolis. Then let’s watch them all come crawling back and begging for help when chaos is the rule and not the exception!!!!! Maybe for once, they would be held accountable.
We once had a downtown nice enough to use. Now… That was *with* police. Defund police and the tax base vaporizes. Citizens will move where physical safety and property are taken seriously.
Notice the a characteristic shared by the Dem’s and their loony brothers & sisters on the left – lack of common sense!
We wouldn’t need half of this amount of funding if politically untouchable segments of our population could ratchet down criminal activity to the level of the majority of the city’s residents. Maybe some accountability from our most crime-prone areas first? It seems in today’s woke world its unacceptable to talk about what sort of standard of behavior we owe our fellow citizens as members of a community, instead it’s all about blame shifting.
Per the old expression: If brains were gunpowder, Jane Henegar wouldn’t have enough to blow her nose.
Where does the current Community spending go? All the grants I read about for low-income areas Across the Nation, where does it go? what gets done with it other than line somebody’s pocket to create another Focus Group? recently in the case of New York City the mayor appointed his own wife to head up some task force, a paid position of course. Where is the fiscal accountability? Defund the police = oh we goofed something up, let’s take some money from this budget then move it over here to cover my backside for wasting money. Isn’t there something called the Government Accountability Office? Where and how is spending being tracked? Where is the oversight for City governments and I don’t mean City council’s! They are virtually always in the back pocket of the mayor – anywhere, not just Indianapolis. Fiscal responsibility aside where is the moral responsibility to properly spend in your community? Obviously leadership has no morals because they continue to draw pay checks through the scam shutdown. They do not feel pain and stress imposed on others by them.
Grassroots, fix neighborhoods everything else will start to fall into place BUT leadership & direction at the top is what has to make that it is full circle.
In the case of Indianapolis it would behoove the city council to work with the Reverend Charles Harrison and work more closely with the 10-point coalition. As I heard a local radio commentator the other day are we governing by fact or emotion right now?
Quit yelling at everybody, throwing tantrums and forcing your agenda, listen then develop change.
Imagine that the ACLU pushing the Marxist agenda to defund the “Local Police” in exchange for a centralized Marxist “Police State”. If you think inequities in the justice system, police brutality and rogue police are bad on the local level, think Tiananmen Square. Where to Marxist Government drove tanks and shot live rounds into protester seeking freedom from tyranny.
