than they were a year or two ago. shannon: the mayor says there that he s willing out a plan that will stuff up and try to keep more people on board. he s working towards that trying to find a balance between funding decisions and also making sure there are more officers. ethan, good to hear. i m glad she doesn t see the crime. but the facts don t lie. violence is up two times, homicides are up two times in the city. and that s what happens unfortunately when you get glass police officers there. there s less deterrence out there. there s less prevention. i work with victims while i prosecuted cases. and victims need help when you do. you can t just predict when and when they will. hopefully they are out there to save lives and to help people are in distress.
