The violence in Indianapolis, Indiana had gotten out of control. I feel that it is not the Metropolitan Police Departments problem at all. I feel that the problem lies within communication between citizens and city government. Violence stems for many reasons within in the city limits, but lets have a conversation about, not one citizen within Indianapolis, Indiana can communicate at all with a police officer in a real time frame. Citizens have to communicate with Crime Stoppers? Yes that avenue is supposed to be effective, but it is not at all. for a person that sees a crime going on, has no real interaction to feel safe in any communication. Eye to eye contact and real accountability to the person the citizen is giving the information to? I do love the city of Indianapolis, but their needs to be a real discussion on safety within the city leaders or we should look at getting these city leaders replaced. I feel the last three years have been wasted on talk and no action at all. When I was young we had community centers to go to and have fun. I do feel we need to connect with our own community first before we try to help the whole city. I feel that that last statement is a farce in reality, but in some how we need to start somewhere soon. I do like the Mayor of Indianapolis, but I have a problem with him over the crazy riots last year. our state has the software to know who is doing what? I do not see anyone getting into trouble over messing up our downtown Indy? Our police officers are in battle everyday and can't see hope in font of them our their family life. I feel the everyone within the community should be able to communicate freely and build this city of Indianapolis back up. Start to show up at community centers as well as your local church. Get involved in creating solutions, not to just watching the news and listen to the bad news, and say, "What a shame?" Get to know your local neighborhood police officers, and your council members. Why can't we see the solution to our city? I see that our solution is communication. Our city is our business, and we need to step in and start to strive in hope and change driven within ourselves. Take a police officer to lunch, or your church leader. You take wanna be clients out to lunch, and turns into a mess, maybe I am an absolute mess? I do not like getting into a conversation with a potential client, saying, "Isn't your city very violent?" When I know we can do better in our city. I am ready to help in any way here in my home town.
Just a note from Jim Gandolf
We need to seek peace at all times.
