Proactive v. Reactive Policing: A Vicious Circle

I wrote this four years ago. Am I psychic, or does history truly repeat itself?

A Vicious Circle

Trouble

Kids Die

Gangs High Crime

Rape, Cocaine Bloody Murder

Burglary Assault Robbery Carjacking

Increased Patrol Stop and Frisk Illegal Weapons

More Officers Canines Large Police Presence Crime Reduces

Less Guns on Street Safer for Officers and Public Businesses Flourish

Neighborhood Secure Residents Happy Fewer Deaths Kids Play

Police are Scary! Protesters and Politicians Complain

Angry Crowds Burning Looting Destruction

Officers Beaten Battered and Killed

Rape Cocaine Bloody Murder

Gangs High Crime

Kids Die

Trouble.

And so it goes …
