32 shot — 4 fatally — over Fourth of July weekend


I take it the "1500" were in the wrong place? I told you this city needs cameras on the side streets and in the alleys because these low-life dirt-bags scatter when a police presence is near. More cameras will increase arrest and imprisonment of these scumbags because the populace isn't helping. The police have a documented gang member list so, match the shooter/s with the video and lock that ass up for life. Why? They are repeat offenders.

The cameras are not a privacy concern. These are public streets, and this is a public safety issue. If your concerned about your privacy, close your curtains or draw your blinds. Besides, the cameras will be viewing the block not your home/apartments. Since the populace will not help, this tactic must be employed so these repeat offenders can be locked up for good.
