the
heels
for
which
all
of
our

daily
father,
asking
you
to
lend
the
ear

and
then
open
your
mind
and
your

unto
the

A
Thank

With

They
each

three
minutes
to
introduce
themselves.
Okay,
I
apologize
sir,
thank
you
going
to
the
introduction
of
speakers.
They
will
take
three
minutes
to
introduce
themselves
so
standby,
starting
off
with
mayor,
skip
henderson.
C
Good
afternoon
have
a
check
if
it
was
still
morning
or
afternoon,
I'm
on
I'm
gonna
keep
my
mask
on
since
we're
gonna
be
sharing
the
microphone
first.
Let
me
just
tell
all
of
you
how
grateful
I
am
that
you
have
taken
time
out
of
your
day
to
come,
unite
with
us
in
a
discussion
on
what
we
do
as
a
community
to
try
to
curb
this
gun
violence,
this
this
violence
and
our
young
people
who
are
losing
their
lives
and
our
hearts
breaking
for
the
families
who
have
lost
loved
ones.
C
C
There
are
a
few
folks
in
here
that
that
aren't
going
to
be
speaking.
I
want
to
make
sure
I
recognize
them.
First,
I
want
to
thank
councillor
tucker
for
putting
this
together.
C
This
is
the
the
conversation
is
a
critical
first
step,
but
I
will
remind
you.
This
is
just
a
first
step.
The
conversation
has
to
yield
actionable
items,
things
that
we
can
take
into
the
communities
take
into
our
churches,
take
into
our
government
and
implement
so
that
we
can
begin
to
make
a
real
difference.
C
C
I
did
not-
and
I
think
that
maybe
all
of
the
counselors
we've
got
state
representative
karen
carolyn
hugley,
who
is
here
and
our
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin
and
mr
smeary
calvin
schmeyer
state
representative,
mr
chairman,
has
has
joined
us,
and
I
I
do
that
not
to
bring
accolades
to
these
individuals
for
being
here,
but
to
show
you
that
this
is
a.
C
This
is
a
a
a
problem
that
all
of
us
are
united
on.
So
I
want
to
hear
from
you
today.
I
want
to
hear
your
questions,
your
comments,
so
that
we
can
continue
to
do
the
things
we
need
to
do.
We
spend
tons
of
money
as
a
city
on
programs
to
try
to
find
people
jobs,
try
to
get
them
the
skills
they
need,
try
to
get
them
ged
get
them.
Tutoring.
C
C
That's
why
we've
got
the
brave
men
and
women
of
our
cpd
and
our
sheriff's
office
to
make
sure
that
the
folks
that
make
those
conscious
decisions
not
to
try
to
better
their
lives
and
contribute
to
this
community
we're
going
to
find
them,
and
we
got
to
lock
them
up
so
anyway.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
I
do
look
forward
to
your
questions
and
a
very
honest
dialogue.
D
See
him,
okay,
thank
you,
demarco
and
thank
you
mayor,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
everyone
who
agreed
to
come
out
today:
our
chief
of
police,
our
city
manager,
isaiah
hewley,
the
sheriff
and
deputy
chief.
Graham,
I
appreciate
all
the
citizens
who
decided
to
come
here
on
this
saturday
because
of
course,
you
could
be
anywhere
else.
We
know
the
what
we
know
that
we
have
an
issue.
We
know
we
have
a
crime
issue
not
only
in
district
4
but
in
columbus,
georgia
as
a
whole.
D
D
It's
going
to
take
time
so,
each
morning,
when
you
wake
up,
think
about
the,
how
you
ask
yourself,
when
you
look
in
the
mirror,
how
can
I
be
an
effective
asset
to
my
community
to
help
all
of
us
improve
on
the
quality
of
life?
How
can
we
do
things
to
help
cure
this
violence,
so
you're
going
to
hear
us,
as
the
elected
leaders
and
the
city
manager
and
the
chief
of
police
speak
on
our
perspective
and
how
we
can
help.
D
But
when
you
leave
here
today
and
when
you're
getting
when
you're
going
to
ask
your
questions,
think
about
how
you
can
be
that
individual?
How
can
you
help
with
this
issue
of
crime
right
now?
So
again,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
coming
out.
I'm
so
thankful
to
see
all
of
you.
It's
a
nice
crowd
and
I'm
and
participate.
E
E
I
grew
up
where
my
mama
said:
I'm
not
going
to
take
it
anymore
and
decided
to
move
to
phoenix
city
alabama
in
public
housing
where
we
were
able
to
get
the
first
indoor
facilities
see
some
folks
have
never
known
what
it's
like
to
have
to
go
to
the
woods
and
squat
to
use
the
restroom.
I
understand
some
people
don't
know
what
it's
like
to
have
to
go
and
draw
your
water
and
put
it
in
a
foot
tub
to
take
a
bath.
E
I
understand
some
people
don't
understand
what
it's
like
to
have
to
go
to
the
store
with
food
stamps.
When
I
graduated
high
school
in
12th
grade,
I
was
still
walking
down.
Foot
been
enrolled,
going
to
the
store
with
food
stamps.
I
understand
and
have
been
around
drugs
and
the
alcohol,
and
and
all
of
that
I
understand
violence.
E
You
know
I
was
standing
beside
my
mother
when
she
got
shot.
She
got
shot
by
not
someone
on
the
street,
but
from
my
uncle
trying
to
shoot
my
daddy.
I
understand
domestic
violence
and
so
just
know
that
I
still
live
in
south
columbus.
When
I
leave
here,
I'm
going
to
turn
left
and
I'm
going
to
cross
forest
road
and
I'm
going
to
cross
dena
vista
road
to
get
to
steam
mia
road.
A
lot
of
this
violence
in
recent
weeks
has
been
right
around
near
my
house.
E
E
I
understand
what
we're
dealing
with
it's
going
to
take
a
multifaceted
approach
to
get
to
a
solution
and
that's
what
we
need
to
start
talking
about
today,
but
don't
think
that
when
you
talk
to
me,
I
don't
understand
I
understand
and
live
amongst
my
people.
I'm
isaiah
heagley,
I'm
city
manager,
of
columbus.
F
F
I've
worked
in
units
where
we've
investigated
gang
related
activities.
I
worked
in
units
where
we
investigate
drugs.
I've
worked
in
units
where
we
investigate
murders,
robberies
and
I
worked
in
units
where
we've
interacted
with
our
community
to
listen
to
the
concerns
of
our
community.
So
I
understand.
F
F
You're
here
today-
and
I
appreciate
you
being
here,
as
is-
was
stated
earlier-
what
we
are
experiencing
did
not
just
start
today
and
it
would.
It
would
not
necessarily
end
today,
but
we
can
definitely
work
towards
bringing
the
situation
to
an
end
by
again
are
remaining
actively
involved,
as
we
are
today
to
ensure
that
we
communicate
with
each
other
and
send
a
message
throughout
columbus.
F
F
H
I'm
deputy
chief
roger
graham
I've,
been
in
the
columbus
police
department
now
for
32
years.
I
came
to
columbus
by
way
through
the
military
when
I
joined
out
of
detroit
michigan
and
my
story.
As
far
as
my
contribution
to
columbus,
georgia
is
a
little
bit
different
from
the
gentleman
and
women
that
you've
already
heard
my
contribution
to
columbus.
Georgia's
was
when
I
got
out
of
the
military.
In
1989,
I
joined
the
columbus
police
department.
As
a
patrol
officer,
I've
been
there
for
32
years.
This
october
would
be
32
years.
H
I,
as
well
as
a
certain
various
unions
or
bureaus
in
the
columbus
police
department
that
consisted
of
patrol
services
and
at
that
particular
time
they
had
the
tax
squad.
I
was
in
that
for
several
years,
which
long
did
see
some
violence
and
then
also
did
see
some
other
street
crime
type
activity.
H
H
I
Good
afternoon
I'm
sheriff
greg
countryman.
I
service
your
sheriff
for
muscogee
county
councillor,
torya
tucker.
Thank
you
for
having
this
event,
because
I
believe
that
it
is
a
very,
very
timely
event
and
I
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of
why
we
are
here.
I
think
that,
looking
at
the
turnout
that
we
know
that
we
have
an
issue
in
our
community
that
we
are
very
concerned
about
and
that
community
that
concern
is
violence.
I
From
my
vantage
point,
I
think
that
violence
is
a
health
issue.
I
think
that
when
you
look
at
what
violence
occurs,
it
occurs
in
underserved
communities
for
the
most
part.
When
I
first
started
policing
back
in
1990,
we
had
what
was
called
the
mason-dixon
line.
If
you
want
to
call
it
that
or
the
macon
dixon
line
to
where
crime
did
not
go
beyond
macon
road,
but
we
see
now
that
crime
has
gone
beyond
macon
road
and
is
invading
a
lot
of
our
neighborhoods
at
the
center
of
crime.
I
We
have
to
understand
mental
health
and
how
mental
health
plays
such
such
a
vital
role,
because
in
underserved
communities
that
there
are
studies
that
show
that
shows
that
poverty
brings
about
mental
health.
Mental
health
sometimes
transforms
into
violence,
and
so,
as
we
deal
with
the
violence
in
our
community,
we
really
need
to
understand
what's
at
hand,
but
I'm
glad
that
this
meeting
is
here,
because
there
are
three
things
that
we
have
to
do.
First,
we
have
to
understand
that
they're,
the
problem,
that's
why
we're
all
here.
Secondly,
we
have
to
have
a
solution.
I
That's
why
we
need
everybody's
everybody
here,
because
there
are
some
things
that
happen
in
our
community
that
we
just
don't
know
and
I'm
dead
set
on
saying
this.
I've
said
it
publicly
over
and
over
again
that
when
there's
violence
in
the
community,
there's
always
video
footage,
but
there's
someone
there.
That
saw
something
and
they
know
something.
I
I
That
they're
the
problem-
and
I
want
to
hear
from
you
to
help
us
to
come
up
with
better
solutions,
because
there
are
some
things
that
we
just
don't
know.
We
can't
fix
what
we
don't
know
and
that's
why
we
need
community
partners
like
you
to
help
us
with
this,
because
we're
not
sitting
down
as
the
city
manager
says,
we
talk
and
we
talk
about
this
every
single
day,
I'm
a
product,
I'm
a
proud
product
of
south
columbus.
This
started
for
me
in
alpine
apartments
off
casita
road.
I
I
still
have
south
columbus
in
my
heart.
I
have
all
the
columbus
responsibility,
but
I
know
that
there
are
certain
things
that
plague
certain
parts
of
the
community
and
we
need
to
meet
the
crime
where
it
is.
We
need
to
meet
those
that
have
mental
health
issues
where
they
are
and
we
need
to
get
used
to
challenging
ourselves
to
not
be
comfortable
in
everything
that
we
do
and
what
we
hear
in
order
to
solve
the
problem.
Thank
you.
K
I
was
a
former
police
officer
in
columbus
for
10
years,
been
in
and
out
of
law
enforcement
for
almost
30.,
I'm
part
of
a
group
of
private
citizens
that
came
together
about
two
years
ago
to
identify
a
solution
to
help
our
community
and
that
is
called
cure.
Violence
and
what
cure
violence
does.
Is
it
looks
at
violence
as
a
health
epidemic
and
we
apply
health
solutions
to
eradicate
violence.
We
work
with
epidemiologists,
we
have
dr
asante
from
the
health
department.
K
We
run
our
program
under
the
health
department
and
the
idea
is
to
assess
and
interrupt
violence
in
the
community.
It
is
a
data-driven
process,
so
we're
not
just
simply
going
into
a
community
without
any
effort,
but
the
idea
behind
it
is
to
interrupt
the
violence
to
identify
those
who
are
at
high
risk
and
as
well
to
bring
back
community
cohesion.
K
Our
effort
is
used
in
10
countries
around
the
world.
100
cities
like
baltimore
chicago
puerto
rico,
even
in
iraq.
So
this
is
a
national
program
that
has
been
used
since
about
2005
and
created
by
epidemiologists.
Out
of
chicago,
so
that's
why
we're
here
today
to
kind
of
hear
some
of
the
information
that's
coming
out
of
these
communities,
but
also
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
about
our
program.
Thank
you.
L
L
L
Just
to
give
you
a
little
history
to
help
people
to
understand.
As
a
citizen
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
today
in
1988,
there
was
an
uprise
in
gang
violence
in
columbus
georgia
with
about
eight
different
games.
At
that
time
it
was
something
that
I
was
monitoring
as
a
police,
detective
working
out
of
the
bureau
investigation.
L
At
that
time
I
went
to
major
ct
kirkland
and
I
said
to
him
that
we
have
a
game
problem
in
columbus.
Georgia,
major
ct,
kirkland
told
me
well
as
long
as
they're
killing
each
other.
Why
should
we
worry
about
it
and
at
that
time
I
told
him
I
said:
well,
we
got
kids
who
are
people's
children
and
loved
ones
that
are
here
having
this
problem
in
1990,
ronald
holloman
was
killed
over
at
baker
high
school
out
of
school
dance
from
gang
violence.
L
L
When
we
came
together
as
a
unit,
we
were
boots
on
the
ground.
We
went
out,
we
what
we
called.
Then
we
shook
the
bushes.
We
overturned,
rocks,
cultivated
informants,
found
out
who
were
the
main
players
in
all
these
games,
and
then
we
start
making
cases
against
them
and
shutting
down
these
gains.
We
also
knew
that
a
lot
of
them
who
wanted
help.
As
mayor
henderson
said
we
provided
workshops
for
them.
We
helped
them
got
jobs.
We
put
in
other
preventive
programs
like
midnight,
basketball,
three,
on
basketball
during
the
summertime
and
also
during
this
time.
L
A
lot
of
this
was
going
on
in
the
project
areas
sheriff
countryman
at
the
time
was
working
with
the
housing
authority.
They
was
monitoring
the
problems
with
the
gang
activity,
then
so,
with
all
the
collective
effort,
we
were
able
to
get
this
problem
under
control.
So
how
did
we
get
right
here
today
with
all
the
violence
now?
Well,
these
units
were
disbanded
by
chief
rickett
born.
He
took
away
the
gain
task
force.
L
He
took
away
conditional
discharge,
which
was
an
adult
program
for
first-time
offenders,
and
then
he
took
away
the
juvenile
diversion
program
that
worked
closely
with
juvenile
court.
That
was
helping
the
youth
in
our
community.
So
when
all
these
units
got
disbanded,
we
start
seeing
an
increase
in
gang
violence.
So
we're.
Where
are
we
at
today?
So
my
suggestion
as
a
former
police
detective
who
work
gains
in
this
community
and
work
drugs
in
this
community
is
that
I
think,
as
a
community,
we
need
to
get
behind
the
chief
of
police.
L
We
need
to
get
behind
the
sheriff.
We
need
to
support
them
in
their
effort
to
bring
this
thing
under
control,
because
the
reality
is.
Is
that
we're
in
the
crisis
we're
in
a
serious
crisis
in
columbus,
georgia
and
the
sheriff
and
the
chief
they
inherited
this
problem,
I
go
onto
social
media
sites,
I
see
where
people
are
criticizing
them
and
saying
things:
no,
they
inherited
this
problem.
This
problem
been
around,
so
I
think
what
we
need
to
do.
L
We
need
to
get
behind
them
and
I
want-
and
I
want
people
to
understand
that
I
understand
that
there
is
not
a
very
good
climate
across
the
nation
with
law
enforcement
and
the
african-american
community.
I
understand
that,
but
I'm
here
to
say
that
we
as
a
community
when
they
put
the
boots
on
the
ground
and
these
officers
are
going
out
here
to
help
nip
this
in
the
bud,
cutting
off
the
head
of
the
snake.
As
we
say,
we
have
got
to
stand
with
them.
We
don't
need
to
be
protesting.
L
We
need
to
stand
with
them
to
let
them
know
that
we
support
you,
and
I
will
share
this
with
you
before
I
leave,
because
I
know
that
me,
knowing
chief
blackman
all
the
years,
that
I've
known
him
and
knowing
sheriff
countryman
all
the
years
that
I've
known
him
when
I
worked
in
a
unit,
a
drug
unit
which
was
a
five
agency,
two
state
task
force
metro,
narcotic
task
force.
L
Russell
traynor
was
our
commander
russell,
had
two
rules
to
show
up
to
work
on
time
and
not
mistreat
anybody
and
I'm
sure
that
these
two
leaders
feel
the
same
way.
So
I
don't
expect
any
police
officer
going
out
here
mistreating
anybody
in
the
sheriff's
deputy
going
out
here,
mistreating
anybody,
but
we
got
to
get
the
job
done.
L
We
got
to
get
it
done
because,
if
not
columbus,
we're
going
to
have
a
whole
lot
more
problems
and
a
whole
lot
more
bloodshed
and
tears.
So
I
leave
you
with
this
as
a
community.
Let
us
please
please
come
together
and
give
them
all
the
support
that
they
need
and
co
and
getting
this
problem
under
control
sheriff
company
they
made
came
up
with
a
good
idea.
The
other
day
at
the
press
conference
he
said
he's
going
to
have
a
hotline.
L
You
can
call
me
a
lot
of
people
are
concerned
about
retaliation
from
when
they
when
they
give
information
to
the
police.
Well,
with
this
hotline,
you
can
call
it
in
and
you
can
give
the
information
and
please
we
need
everybody
to
be
involved
in
this
and
chief
blackman.
As
I
said
to
you
before
and
sheriff
country,
when
I
share
the
same
with
you,
if
y'all
need
me
for
anything
anything
I'm
all
in
with
you,
thank
you
very
much.
Everybody.
A
All
right,
as
we
get
ready
to
move
into
the
question
and
ask
the
statement
this:
these
are
the
following
rules.
All
right
we
have
mrs
shamika
averitt
and
nia
williams
did
y'all.
Please
stand
up
all
right.
If
you
would
like
to
write
down
a
question,
write
down
a
question
and
give
it
to
them.
A
They
will
read
the
question
for
you
to
them
to
the
speakers.
If
you
would
like
to
stand
up
and
ask
a
question
all
right,
you
have
two
minutes
to
ask
your
question:
please
don't
if
it's
for
everyone,
let
them
know
just
for
everyone.
If
you
want
to
direct
your
question
towards
somebody,
please
acknowledge
who
you
would
like
directed
to
all
right,
as
let
me
introduce
myself
like
I
said,
my
name
is
demarco
d1
johnson,
I'm
a
1996
graduate
of
spencer
high
school.
A
Go
greenway
there
we
go
there.
We
go
all
right,
I'm
a
product
of
south
columbus
and
grew
up
in
east
columbus.
Mr
graham
here
was
my
officer.
While
I
was
at
spencer,
high
school
after
leaving
spencer,
I
went
on
to
south
carolina
state
where
I
played
football
and
ran
track,
and
then
I
went
into
corrections
myself
for
14
years.
I
finished
up
as
a
director
at
department
of
juvenile
justice
in
metro
atlanta.
A
I'm
here
I
just
moved
back
home
to
put
in
my
effort
put
in
my
efforts,
so
we
can
help
our
community
because
there's
a
lot
going
on
so
as
you're
getting
your
questions
ready.
I
just
want
to
tell
you
one
thing:
just
kind
of
put
some
in
your
head
as
you're
preparing
your
question
and
getting
ready
to
talk.
I'm
gonna
take
you
back
to
a
store
of
david
and
goliath.
If
you
look
on
my
shirt,
it
says
game
changer,
all
right.
A
In
the
story
of
david
and
goliath,
david,
he
came
to
check
on
his
brothers
right.
He
came
out
to
the
battlefield
to
check
on
his
brothers.
His
brothers
had
been
standing
there
for
40
days
unable
to
move
unable
to
fight
all
right.
So
when
david
came
up
there,
he
seen
a
task
that
he
could
handle
because
he
already
fought
the
line
in
the
bear.
A
A
A
So
at
that
moment,
not
only
did
he
change
the
projected
of
his
life,
he
could
change
the
trajectory
of
everybody's
life
that
was
sitting
there
waiting.
So
as
you
get
ready
to
write
down
your
questions
or
you
get
ready
to
come
to
the
podium
and
speak
your
questions,
think
about
the
tools
that
god
has
given.
A
Thank
you
think
about
the
tools
that
god
has
given
you
to
be
a
game
changer
to
slay
the
goliath
that
we
have
before
us,
because
the
issues
that
we
have
right
now
in
these
streets,
that
the
sheriff
is
fighting
that
the
mayor
is
fighting
that
the
city
council
is
fighting
that
the
city
manager
is
fighting,
is
a
goliath
and
a
lot
of
y'all
out
here
have
the
tools
to
defeat
it.
You
have
the
tools
that
you
that
you
grew
up
with.
You
have
the
tools
that
god
has
placed
in
you.
A
A
All
right
so
we're
going
to
start
off
with
the
the
handwritten
cards.
Yes,
we're
going
to
start
off
with
the
handwritten
cards
and
from
there
like,
I
said
you
have
exactly
two
minutes
to
go
ahead
and
ask
your
question:
if
it's
for
everybody
and
knowledge
is
for
everybody,
if
it's
for
individuals,
let
them
know.
Thank
you.
M
C
C
C
What
we
have,
what
the
information
that
I've
received
from
talking
with
our
law
enforcement
officials,
the
sheriff
and
I
talk.
I
talk
with
the
chief
of
police
every
day,
it's
broader
than
that,
it's
broader
than
the
than
the
curfew.
But
yes,
I
think
a
curfew
could
be
considered
as
part
of
an
overall.
F
What's
expected,
according
to
the
law
as
well
as,
according
to
our
policies,
it
was
my
responsibility
to
ensure
that
information
that
that
behavior
was
met
with
consequences
for
that
particular
employee.
That
police
officer
received
consequences
for
any
behavior.
That
was
not
consistent
with
the
law
or
policies.
So
I'm
aware
of
what
should
be
done.
F
F
I
train
recruits,
as
well
as
the
veteran
officers
throughout
my
career,
and
so
as
the
police
chief
is
my
responsibility
to
ensure
that
our
officers
are
properly
trained
and
they
know
how
to
handle
themselves.
So
we
will
definitely
always
stay
on
top
of
that
to
ensure
that
no
one
is
being
mistreated.
F
We
have
a
unit
on
the
street
and
we
have
a
unit
that's
inside
from
from
an
administrative
role,
feeding
them
information
sharing
with
them
and
giving
them
locations
to
go
to
and
names
to
check
on,
so
they
can
develop
information
which
would
lead
to
arrest
warrants
and
putting
the
individuals
in
jail
to
go
before
the
judge.
So
we
are
already
addressing
those
concerns
as
it
relates
to
gang
violence.
F
F
You
do
not
have
to
reveal
your
name
if
you
want
to
remain
anonymous
and
if
you
want
to
text
the
number
in,
if
you
don't
want
to
just
give
that
call,
you
want
to
text
it
in.
You
can
text
v
a
c
s
says
v
like
in
victor
a
like
an
atom
c
like
in
charlie
s,
as
in
sam
v,
a
c
s:
2
7
4,
6,
3,
7,
2,
7,
4,
6,
3
7.
We
receive
that
tip
and
we
will
follow
up
on
that
information.
D
Before
we
go
deputy
chief
graham,
can
you
get
up
and
give
in
reference
to
that
gang
violence,
question
with
the
hot
spots
and
and
show.
I
H
Can
well,
as
I
stated
earlier,
my
primary
function
with
the
police
department
is
the
office
professional
standards.
When
someone
asks
a
question
about
the
police
brutality,
so,
as
chief
blackman
has
already
outlined
the
office
that
I'm
really
assigned
to
will
be
that
officers
that
would
address
that
issue
and
there
is
a
process
that
goes
through
any
one
time.
Someone
wants
to
file
a
complaint
as
it
relates
to
any
police
behavior,
there's
a
system
in
place
where
that
information
can
be
funneled
through
and
eventually
make
it
to
the
office
of
professional
standards.
H
But
what
we,
when
we
talk
about
hot
spots,
these
maps
up
here,
is
just
simply
to
depict
the
areas
that
we
see
that
we're
having
the
majority
of
the
problem
in
columbus,
georgia,
as
it
may
relate
to
a
particular
type
crime.
Okay,
so
we
do
track
crime.
We
do
know
what
type
of
crime
is
in
place
and
we
track
it.
We
know
where
things
are
occurring
and
officers
are
constantly
deployed
to
these
areas,
because,
as
the
incidents
occur,
it
populates
it
populates
and
that
helps
us
to
stay
abreast
of.
H
H
Now
we
can
make
these
particular
maps
or
or
diagrams
based
on
the
particular
type
of
crime
that
we
wanted
to
track.
So
this
aggravated
assaults,
then
we
can
attract
aggravated
assaults
and
will
quickly
be
able
to
get
this
information
out
to
patrol
officers
to
know
where,
where
the
incidents
are
occurring
and
and
constantly
feeding
that
to
the
patrol
personnel
so
that
they
can
stay
ahead
and
know
what's
occurring
in
columbus,
georgia.
H
Well,
it's
obvious
it's
clear
that
we've
all
put
in
an
effort
to
stop
gang
violence
and
has
it
as
it
already
has
been
outlined,
that
this
is
one
of
these
efforts.
That's
going
to
take
everyone
in
the
community,
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
effort
from
the
police
department,
the
sheriff's
department
as
well,
but
we
can
already
see
the
what's
in
motion
to
stop
the
gang
violence,
as
mr
byron
hickey,
former
police
officer,
detective,
pointed
out
the
process
that
was
in
place
at
that
time.
H
M
H
H
No
all
markings
on
buildings
or
graffiti
that
you
see
in
the
neighborhood
is
not
necessarily
graffiti,
that's
related
to
gang
activity.
What
we
do
is
we
look
at
the
markings.
We
look
at
the
graffiti
and
we
go
back
and
we
start
looking
just
like
anything
else.
You
start
analyzing
it
to
try
to
see
what
it
is,
what
meaning
it
has
once
we
determine
what
meaning
it
has.
Then
we
then
tag
it
as
being
gang
graffiti
and
start
seeing
where
this
gang
graffiti
is
starting
to
occur
throughout
the
city.
H
So
everything
that
you
see
on
the
side
of
the
building
does
not
necessarily
mean
that
it's
gang
graffiti.
There
are
some
gang
graffiti
that
we
know
right
off
the
back.
That
is
gang
graffiti,
but
the
initials
that
you
provided
that
you
stated.
I
cannot
clearly
say
that
that's
gang
graffiti,
without
taking
a
look
at
it,
seeing
there's
any
hidden
meanings
in
there
or
messages
in
there
and
things
that
we
may
have
looked
at
in
the
past.
H
But
it's
it
has
to
be
analyzed
before
we
make
an
assumption
that
is
gang
graffiti,
because
sometimes
people
just
like
to
put
their
art
on
the
side
of
buildings.
We
see
it
on
trains
all
the
time
and
you
cannot
readily
say
that
anything
is
gang
related
until
it
has
actually
been
analyzed
to
be
gang
related
or
gang.
O
I
yesterday
morning
I
saw
a
video
of
the
worst
neighborhoods
and
the
worst
hoods
in
columbus
and
my
neighborhood
was
on
the
video,
and
so
he
walks
behind
the
plaza
on
south
lumpkin
road
and
explains
that
the
markings
indicate
that
there
are
three
three
gangs
who
have
marked.
O
O
And
now
it
looks
like
there's
that
great
big
sign
lkr2
on
south
lumpkin
road,
the
building
was
painted
white
and
then
a
little
bit
later.
It's
got
lkr
and
black
letters
lkr2
and
black
letters
on
it.
It
almost
looks
like
a
message
and
if
these
markings
are
messages,
if
people
are
passing
them
every
day,
it
it
does
it,
it
affects
people
that
you
know
may
be
down
and
gloomy
or
mad
or
angry
to
see
these
messages
you
know
boom.
You
know
in
their
face,
and
so
I
was
that's
why
I
was
asking.
O
I
think
it
might
be
important.
We
had
a
killing,
I
understand
recently
very
close
to
this
area,
and
they
do
they
do
matter,
especially
this
I
mean
I
I
was
I
sent
that
video
to
sergeant
hogan.
O
I
don't
know
if
any
of
you
were
able
to
to
see
it
about,
but
about
almost
seven
minutes
into
it.
He
gets
behind
that
building.
O
Well,
being
behind
that
building
and
kind
of
not
real
visible
is
one
thing,
but
to
have
it
just
blaring
out
at
you
on
this
brand
new
painted
building
is
a
different
story
and
it
sends
a
message
I
think
and
people
see
it
every
day
and
it
stirs
up
feelings
and
then
there's
a
killing,
and
I
think
it's
a
snowball
effect
and
it
could
be
something-
and
I
don't
know
it
and
I
drive
by
it
every
day.
Oh
look
somebody
spray
painted
on
that
building
you
know
is
that
their
initials
and
their
favorite
number.
H
I
did
not
know
that
I
did
not
know
that
you
were
the
one
that
sent
it
in,
but
yes,
we
did
look
at
it
yesterday
and
I
we
appreciate
you
for
sending
it
in
and
that's
exactly
what
have
already
been
talked
about
this
afternoon
this
morning
that
we
need
the
public's
help,
so
that
piece
of
information
that
you
send
in
now
we
go
out
there.
We
look
at
it.
We
go
back
and
and
see
if
his
actions
there
is
gang
related.
Is
there
some
ties
to
it?
Is
there
some
meaning
to
it?
H
Is
there
some
hidden
message
in
it
and
then
we
start
dealing
with
it.
So
that
is
the
beginning
of
dealing
with
just
that
one
piece
of
information
that
you
sent
us
because
we
have
to
find
out
what
it
means
if
we
don't
already
know
what
it
means.
So
we
have
to
have
a
beginning,
and
we
appreciate
you
starting
it
for
us
by
sending
that
information
to
us
sending
that
video
to
us,
and
then
we
start
looking
at
so
that's
how
the
community
works.
H
You
send
us
the
information,
then
we
can
keep
up
with
it
and
we
can
develop
approach
to
deal
with
the
situation
at
hand
to
to
to
address
the
gang
issue,
whether
it's
addressing
it
from
the
graffiti,
which
is
one
way
you
definitely
need
to
address
it
by
covering
it
up,
painting
over
it,
removing
it
from
the
community,
it's
our
source
or
alleviate
it.
That's
one
way
that
you
should
address
it,
but
we
want
to
see
what
these
individuals
are
moving
around
as
well,
so
it's
more
to
it
than
just.
H
Oh,
I
don't
know
if
I
really
want
to
send
this.
This
ain't
already
gonna
mean
anything.
No,
please
send
it.
Let
us
analyze
it.
Let
us
figure
out
what
it
means.
Let
us
figure
out
what
we
need
to
do
with
it,
but
that
is
a
small
part,
but
it's
a
big
part
in
what
the
community
can
do
when
you
start
talking
about
gang
and
dealing
and
looking
for
gang
and
gang
activity,
analyzing
gang
information,
that's
a
big
part.
H
N
H
Okay,
how
many
games
do
we
have
in
columbus
that
that
is
a
very
tricky
question?
That's
a
very
tricky
question
because
I
can
give
you
a
definitive
number
of
how
many
gangs
we
have
in
columbus
and
at
the
break
when
we
all
get
in
our
cars
and
leave
some
kids
in
the
neighborhood
can
decide.
You
know
what
we
want
to
start
ourself
a
gang
and
we're
going
to
spray
paint
and
then
it's
it
changes.
H
H
When
I
do
these
other
speeches,
the
best
thing
I
tell
people
to
think
about
they're
in
a
game,
but
let's
concentrate
on
the
crime
that
they're
in
okay
they're
in
a
gang,
but
let's
concentrate
on
the
crime.
What
I
mean
by
that,
is
they
calling
themselves
whatever
they
call
themselves,
but
lest
we
have
to
really
really
focus
on
the
crime
in
which
they're
in
and
not
so
much
is
how
many
games
we
don't
want
any
game
in
columbus.
We
don't
we
don't
want
to
settle
for
five
games.
H
P
P
G
Q
Well,
I'm
so
glad
to
see
this
it's
about
time.
When
I
lived
in
durham
north
carolina
in
1998,
it
was
a
major
gang
infestation
and
the
mayor
brought
people
together.
Q
Just
like
people
are
together
today
to
explain
what
the
gang's
ads
are,
and
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
housing
authority,
the
strong
parental
involvement
and
community
education,
columbus,
organizing
together
funded
by
the
crime
prevention
department,
and
we
thank
you
so
much
because
we're
reaching
out
to
parents
in
public
housing
and
public
housing.
They
know
that
people
prey
upon
folks
living
in
poverty,
which
is
why
they
got
cameras
everywhere.
Q
Now,
that's
a
big
improvement,
but
it
is
an
all
hands
on
deck
chief
blackman,
but
parents
have
to
stop
taking
the
the
goods
that
come
from
the
gang
activity
because
gang
activity
is
organized
crime
and
we
got
to
be
clear
about
that.
They
sell
drugs,
they
run
prostitution,
they
do
crime,
that's
what
makes
them
gay
if
they
were
just
a
little
group
of
people
hanging
out
together
wearing
some
colors
that'll
be
different,
but
these
folks
are
criminals
and
they're
older
people
who
are
using
the
juveniles
to
do
their
business
and
that's
what
has
to
stop.
Q
We
need
men
to
stand
up
to
it
and
say
no
more.
We
are
not
going
to
keep
sacrificing
our
children
to
a
life
of
crime,
filling
up
the
jail
filling
up
the
prisons.
That's!
What's
going
on
and
again
I
thank
the
housing
authority
for
allowing
us,
alyssa
williams,
spice
coordinator
and
others,
to
go
there
and
talk
to
the
parents,
because
the
parents
is
the
key.
The
parents
is
the
key.
Thank
you.
Let's,
let's
come
up
with
solutions.
H
One
of
the
major
things
believe
it
or
not
is
the
change
in
their
behavior,
that's
number
one
becoming
defiant
and
when
I
say
defiant
define
not
only
in
the
not
in
the
household
or
rejecting
authority,
or
looking
down
on
authority
authority
being
the
parents
authority,
being
the
school
officials
authority
being
the
police
changing
a
tire
changing
attitude
staying
out
at
late
at
night,
all
of
a
sudden,
the
change
in
friends.
All
of
these
things
in
a
combination,
okay,
can
be
indicators
of
something
is
going
on
with
that
child.
H
All
of
all
of
a
sudden,
you
find
a
child
with
a
lot,
a
lot
of
money
that
you
know
you
didn't
give
to
them.
That
could
be
an
indicator
of
something
that's
going
on,
so
you
don't
look
at
one
thing
by
itself.
You
start
looking
at
these
cluster
of
things
all
of
a
sudden,
the
change
in
friends,
friends
that
they
do
not
want
you
to
meet,
because
knowing
your
intuition
will
pick
up
on
there's
something
going
on
with
these
friends.
So
there's
several
things
all
of
a
sudden.
H
You
start
seeing
different
drawings
and
markings
on
notebooks
or
or
on
their
clothes,
some
of
the
common
gang
signs
and
symbols,
but
there
are
some
things
that
parents
can
quickly
pick
up
on
to
see
that
something
is
going
on
with
that
kid.
That
may
be
indicative
of
going
down
that
path
that
you
do
not
want
them
to
go
down,
which
is
possibly
going
to
be
gang
involvement.
I
I
just
want
to
say
too
that
when
we
think
about
gangs,
I
don't
want
us
to
to
centralize
our
thoughts
into
one
proximity
of
our
city,
because
we
have
other
gangs
that
are
islamic
gangs
in
our
own
city.
I
We
have
caucasian
gangs
in
our
own
cities
that
are
committing
violence
as
well
throughout
the
muscule
county
jail
our
intel
intelligence
unit,
we've
identified
100
over
168
games
that
have
come
through
the
muscogee
county
jail.
Now.
Some
of
these
are
hybrid
gangs,
which
means
that
they
can
come
up
with
a
neighborhood
name,
but
they
may
associate
conduct
with
with
a
with
a
with
the
rolling
crips
or
the
crips
or
the
you
know,
whatever
it
is
omg
or
islamic
gangs,
you
know
the
white
cross
or
whatever.
I
But
a
lot
of
these
young
men
are
just
inhaling
and
don't
know
how
to
exhale,
and
that's
why
we
have
to
come
out
and
we
have
to
be
open
with
them
transparent
with
them.
We
have
to
nurture
them
as
well,
because
a
lot
of
these
young
guys
we
can
turn
around
in
jail,
is
not
the
place
for
them.
Having
programs
in
place
is
what
we
need
to
have.
We
heard
mr
hickey
talk
about
midnight,
basketball.
I
We
need
to
have
outlets
so
that
our
young
people
can
exhale
again
because
a
lot
of
them
are
in
underserved
communities
to
where
there's
one
parent
in
the
house
and
that
parent
is
working,
two
three
jobs,
and
so
that's
where
the
community
comes
in,
and
community
projects
and
programs.
I
just
want
to
add
that.
I
Xena
carpenter
and
her
husband
was
part
of
that,
as
well
as
the
naacp.
Yes,
it
does
work,
we
collected
26
guns
and
when
we
do
a
gun
buyback
program,
the
program
needs
to
be
to
where
we
can
offer
them
something
for
what
they
turn
in.
We
don't
ask
questions.
We
want
the
guns
off
of
the
street,
because
when
we
can
get
the
guns
off
of
the
street,
then
we
can
sort
of
reduce
the
impact
of
the
overall
threats
that
are
out
there
done
that
gun
by
that
programs
do
work.
A
Thank
you,
chef
countryman
before
we
we're
gonna,
allow
these
three
on
each
side
to
go
ahead
and
speak.
Then
we're
gonna
come
back
to
the
questions
on
the
cards,
because
everybody's
question
is
important,
so
we're
gonna,
let
y'all
guys
go
and
get
out
of
the
way
alternating
between
each
other
each
line
and
then
we're
gonna
come
back
to
the
cards.
So
three
on
that
side.
Three,
on
this
side,
thank
you.
R
R
I
said
good
afternoon.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
everybody
in
the
front
of
coming
out
and
thank
everybody
in
the
audience
for
coming
out.
I
truly
believe
that
I
have
two
two
separate
questions.
I
guess
the
mayor
of
city
manager
nationals
at
first
and
the
second
is
for
the
chief
police.
R
Some
of
these
areas
look
like
third
world
countries,
and
you
cannot
raise
a
child
to
be
a
productive
citizen
in
some
of
these
areas.
It's
just
not
possible.
I
wonder
what
the
city
is
doing.
I
know
that
there
was
a
you
know
the
blight
cleanup
that
the
mayor
had
done
a
million
dollars,
which
I
think
was
great.
What
more
is
going
to
be
done
with
that,
because
there
needs
to
be
a
lot
more
done.
R
If
we
can
catch
some
of
these
young
people
when
they're
young,
maybe
we
can
stop
them
from
being
interested
in
even
joining
a
gang
or
being
associated
with
a
gang.
Second
of
all,
there
was
a
story
on
wtvm
and
wrvl.
Yesterday,
regarding
targeted
killings
today
at
certain
areas
of
the
city-
and
I
asked
chief
blackman-
what
are
you
all
doing
about
that
and
how
did
that
information
get
leaked
to
the
public
in
the
first
place,.
C
Thank
you,
yeah
you're,
exactly
right
we
have,
and
and
as
the
sheriff
had
alluded
to
I
mean
we
talk
about
the
fact
that
there
are
some
like
the
young
lady
was
talking
about
the
videos
that
these
guys
and
gals
are
not
looking
for
jobs,
they're,
not
looking
for
opportunities,
but
there's
so
many
kids
that
are
looking
for
some
kind
of
support.
C
C
Our
poverty
rate
in
columbus
is
way
too
high,
but
there's
no
one,
no
one
issue.
No
one
thing
that
is
going
to
affect
that.
We've
talked
with
the
with
the
crime
prevention
head
of
crime
prevention.
We've
talked
with
a
chamber:
we've
talked
with
the
urban
league.
We've
talked
with
everybody
about
some
of
the
different
things
that
we
need
to
address,
to
be
able
to
impact
poverty,
there's
about
eight
different
buckets
that
pour
into
and
draw
out
of
poverty.
C
C
There
had
been
a
city
manager
can
probably
correct
me,
but
I
think
we
put
about
fifty
thousand
dollars
a
year
towards
towards
trying
to
take
down
some
of
these
structures
and
it
doesn't
sound
like
it
would
have
an
impact
on
crime,
but
but
when
you
put
a
million
dollars
in
one
year
and
then
in
the
middle
of
a
covet
pandemic,
council
still
approved
another
quarter
of
a
million
dollars
to
start
taking
down
some
of
those
properties,
because
not
only
do
they
frame
a
child's
mind
as
they're
walking
by
these
things
going
home,
they
can't
feel
good
about
where
they
live.
C
Council
barnes-
and
I
were
talking
right
before
we
started-
he's
been
very
interested
in
the
health
of
the
community
retired
nurse
very
focused
on
health
impact.
Forget
covid.
Let's
talk
about
long-term
health
impacts,
going
forward,
we've
been
working
with
an
organization,
it's
a
it's
a
mayor's
commission
on
health,
and
it's
got
three
different
problems
that
they're
working
on
right
now,
targeting
the
very
areas
you're
talking
about
number
one
is
education:
the
other
is
eradicating
food
desert,
so
many
kids
don't
have
any
access
to
anything
other
than
a
bag
of
chips
for
breakfast.
C
C
On
top
of
trying
to
eradicate
the
food
deserts,
we're
also,
we
got
kind
of
shut
down
by
coven,
but
we're
ramping
it
back
up.
Now
that
we're
starting
to
see
our
numbers
come
down
is
an
outreach
program.
You
can't
expect
these
people
who
are
in
poor
health
and
are
trying
to
train
up
these
children
to
show
up,
even
at
church,
to
come,
get
something
a
screening
or
something
we've
got
to
go
into
the
neighborhoods.
C
We
are
putting
money
into
programs
every
day
we
just
partnered
with
truth
springs.
It's
an
organization
in
in
the
city
manager,
and
I
view
it
as
a
pilot
program.
True
springs
is
a
ministry
over
in
east
highland
area
that
they've
put
a
workforce
development
program
together
that
not
only
trains,
people
and
not
only
have
they
created
a
program.
That's
going
to
train
folks
how
to
do
culinary
types
of
activities
as
well
as
plumbing
hvac
contractor
work.
They've
identified
folks,
they're
gonna
hire
them
the
minute.
They
get
that
certificate,
they're
being
paid
a
good
wage.
C
I
think
it's
eight
or
ten
dollars
ten
dollars
an
hour.
I
think
just
to
go
to
school
and
they're
learning
the
soft
skills
they're
learning
stuff
that
they
need
to
know
to
be
able
to
work
in
in
an
environment
and
hold
on
to
a
job
city
put
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
partnership
with
that,
because
we
think
it's
something
that
we
can
then
pick
up
and
take
to
other
areas
of
the
community
down
off
casita
road
people
were
talking
about
coming
from
south
columbus.
C
C
E
E
You've
asked
sir
a
good
question
about
what
south
columbus
many
parts
of
south
columbus
look
like,
and
I
don't
like
the
look
in
a
lot
of
parts
of
our
community
and
when
I
say
that
it's
because
I
drive
those
communities,
I
mean
there's
not
a
single
day
that
I
don't
drive
around
andrews
road
there's
not
a
single
day.
I
don't
drive
down
to
see
the
road
every
single
day
and
brennan
road,
and
so
I
see
what's
on
casita
road
and
I
don't
like
it
weekly
because
I
live
on
steamy
road.
E
E
E
Everybody
ride
up
and
down
to
see
the
road
nobody
calls
it
in,
and
I
like
the
fact
that
councilor
pop
barnes,
we
have
a
program
that
we
do
on
saturday
and
he
calls
me
or
he'll
call
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin
stand
up
so
they'll
see
you
definitely
city
manager
so
that
he
can
get
our
quality
control
person
to
ride
along
behind
him
that
he
can
point
out
the
kind
of
stuff
that
you're
talking
about,
so
that
we
can
put
in
work
orders
and
get
them
out
there
to
clean
it
up.
E
E
E
We
do
that
and
we
have
to
be
a
better
people.
Let's
clean
up
our
own
neighborhood.
I
go
up
to
shirley
winston
when
there's
little
league
sports
and
you
park
all
over
the
grass
and
all
over
the
field,
and
then
you
wonder
why
we
don't
have
grass
or
the
grass
is
not
right
at
shirley
winston,
and
so
when
we
talk
about
violent
crime
and
all
of
this,
you
know
sometimes
that
it's
it.
People
are
reluctant
to
say
because
you
get
accused
of
condemning
the
victim.
E
It
starts
with
the
home
family,
your
friends,
your
environment,
the
church,
but
city
programs.
You
know
we
got
to
do
our
part
at
city
hall.
We
got
to
fund
programs
and
services
to
take
care
of
the
needs
of
the
young
people.
It's
going
to
take
the
school
district,
but
it's
going
to
take
churches
too,
and-
and
the
reason
I
mentioned
where
I
live
this
morning.
E
It's
good
for
them
to
see
the
city
manager
and
others
in
the
neighborhood
where
we
live,
giving
back,
and
so
I'm
not
making
excuses
for
the
city
and
those
areas.
Looking
like
that,
but
I'm
saying
to
you,
we
got
to
do
our
part
to
help
take
back
our
neighborhood
and
you
hear
the
chief
and
the
and
the
sheriff
talking
about
call
us
they're,
giving
you
hotlines
and
giving
us
hotline
numbers
and
text
numbers
that
you
can
remain
anonymous.
E
I
googled
poverty
rate
for
blacks
in
columbus
this
morning
and
it
shows
that
our
poverty
rate
is
28
amongst
blacks
in
columbus,
georgia
28
and
you
heard
it
all
today
that
when
there's
poverty
like
that,
we
need
economic
viability
and
and
poverty
makes
us
twice
as
likely
to
be
incarcerated.
E
E
We
got
to
start
taking
back
our
community,
we
got
to
go
to
work,
we
got
to
be
boots
on
grounds,
we've
relied
on
the
black
church,
where
we've
had
other
challenges
in
life
and
I'm
calling
on
the
black
church
and
preachers
to
let's
all
get
together.
It
takes
a
multifaceted
approach
and
let's
try
and
address
some
solutions
for
the
problems
that
we
have
in
columbus.
Georgia.
F
F
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
We're
gonna
go
to
the
other
side.
Remember
I
see
the
lines
are
starting
to
fill
up
a
little
bit,
we're
still
going
with
the
first
three.
Then
we're
gonna
come
back
to
the
note
cards
if
you're
still
annoying
still
want
to
ask
your
question
after
that,
you
will
have
your
two
minutes,
but
we're
gonna
go
as
we
stated
before
the
three
on
each
side.
Then
we'll
go
to
the
note
cards.
Thank
you.
S
S
S
We're
at
a
point
today
where
I
think
we're
in
a
better
position
to
see
things
change
than
we
have
ever
and
that's
because
of
what
happened
a
year
ago
with
the
pandemic
and
with
george
floyd,
and
we
have
the
greatest
chance
of
seeing
equality
really
happen
in
america.
S
S
S
We,
if
we're
going
to
do
better
black
folk
white
folk,
we
got
to
see
each
other
differently.
We
got
to
stop
demonizing
each
other
who
are
different
than
us.
You
know
who
think
different.
S
There
are
many
people
who
have
plans
of
things
that
you're
doing.
I
encourage
you
to
go
on.
I
got
my
own
plan,
you
understand,
but
we
got
to
stop
talking
each
other
down
and
I
I
just
want
to
see
us
do
better.
You
wonder
how
we
can
affect
poverty.
We
will
never
have
an
impact
on
poverty
until
we
pay
people
a
livable
wage,
these
women,
sometimes
you
think
these
women
who
don't
raise
their
children
just
don't
care.
S
But
if
you
really
look
at
some
of
these,
ladies
working
two
and
three
jobs
trying
to
make
ends
meet
they
ain't
working.
So
when
we
get
to
the
point
where
we
pay
people
a
livable
wage,
now
I'm
a
business
person.
I
know
the
challenge
in
being
able
to
pay
people
15
dollars
an
hour,
because
many
of
us
can't
do
it,
but
the
states
that
did
it
on
their
own
they're
doing
better.
So
we
need
to
look
at
that.
I
mean
there's
so
many
things
we
need
to
do
march.
S
S
S
When
I
take
my
second
vaccine
shot,
mr
sheriff,
some
of
us
need
to
be
able
to
come
back
into
the
jail
and
talk
to
so
you
have
a
captive
audience
in
the
jail,
and
many
of
them
are
these
people
that
we
are
concerned
about,
and
when
we
talk
to
them
it
makes
a
difference
when
we
encourage
each
other.
It
makes
a
difference.
The
last
thing
I'm
going
to
say
is
this:
we
would
have
been
doing
a
lot
better
over
these
last
50
years.
S
Those
of
us
who
are
visionaries,
those
of
us
who
have
dreams,
those
of
us
who
have
visions
if
it
were
not
for
the
vision,
killers
and
the
dream
assassins,
and
some
of
them
are
in
this
room
right
now.
Some
of
them
are
preachers.
Some
of
them
are
people
who,
if
it
was
not
their
idea,
they
were
voted
down.
S
So
I
just
want
to
say
to
you
as
we
move
forward:
let's
encourage
others
to
be
positive
and
you'll,
see
how
god
is
waiting
for
us
to
do
better
and
he
will
help
us
to
do
better
march.
25Th
we're
going
to
be
calling
for
a
90-day
fast,
and
let
me
just
tell
you
this
when
we
god
gave
us
clapton
in
school,
excuse.
S
A
You,
sir
everybody
just
nothing
to
just
disrespect
nobody's
time,
because
everybody's
time
is
important
here,
but
we
do
want
to
keep
everything
at
two
minutes
two
minutes,
because
we
gotta
give
them
time
to
answer.
If
you're
gonna
state
a
question,
and
then
we
wanna
make
sure
that
the
people
that
are
behind
you
are
getting
the
adequate
time
they
need
two
minutes.
Thank
you.
T
Yes,
I
like
to,
I
only
got
two
minutes,
so
I'm
gonna
get
straight
to
the
point
I
like
to
talk
about
murder,
the
murder.
My
wife's
son
was
murdered
number
39
last
year.
I
I
talked
to
a
detective
when
he
was
killed
and
he
told
me
something
he
told
me
the
truth,
but
it
hurt
it
and
it
still
hurt
it.
He
said
he
taught
him
his
name.
First
of
all,
to
protect
name
is
w
peterson
and
he
told
me
that
when
my
son
got
shot
our
son
got
shot.
T
T
My
first
question
is
46
homicides
with
last
year.
How
many
would
solve
we?
But
if
I
want
to
know
about
tickets,
I
see
I
see
600
citations,
71
arrests,
that's
good
they're
doing
their
job,
but
what
about
homicide?
T
What's
up
with
the
sovereign
of
homicide,
I
explained
to
the
detectives:
I
don't
care
if
the
person
is
a
gang
member
or
he
a
christian
muslim
or
jew
or
trump
supporter,
the
one
that
pulls
the
trigger
and
takes
somebody's
life
committed
murder-
and
this
is
the
problem
nobody's
talking
about
the
murder,
solving
these
murders
and
if,
if
no
disrespect,
he
didn't
put
race
in
it.
But
if
white
people
come
in
the
community
and
blacks
won't
talk
to
this,
how
many
black
detectives
we
got
in
homicide?
T
T
T
F
F
F
F
F
I
I
just
want
to
thank
the
the
gentleman
for
his
passion,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
with
our
tip
line
the
tip
line
that
we
are
establishing
we're
waiting
on
the
software
company
to
get
back
with
us.
If
you
call
the
hotline
that
we
have,
it
will
block
out
us
from
calling
you,
because
there
is
a
lot
of
good,
credible
information
that
we
can
pass
on
that
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
us,
calling
you
back,
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
your
name
being
mentioned.
I
There's
too
many
people
in
columbus.
That
know
who
killed,
who
I'm
hearing
the
whispers,
but
we
need
facts.
We
are
finders
of
facts.
We
can
solve
cases
with
the
columbus
police
department.
We
know
that,
there's
a
trust
issue.
That's
why
I'm
setting
up
this
hotline,
because
this
hotline
benefits
you.
I
U
U
Why
do
gangs
even
exist
and
we
don't
know
how
they
exist?
How
can
we
dismantle
them
right?
Are
we
really
are
we
really
going
to
act
like
we
don't
know
the
foundation,
this
country
and
what
it
was
built
on?
Do
we
really
think
it's
a
coincidence
that
certain
areas
on
that
map
is
highlighted
in
red?
Do
we
really
think
that's
a
coincidence
why?
Why
did
the
city
stop
the
program
that
was
working
to
stop
the
violence
like
this
man
said?
Why
did
that
happen?
Can
anybody
answer
that?
U
U
U
Is
our
armed
forces
not
a
giant
gang?
Is
that
where
we
learn
this
from,
is
that
where
we
learn
how
to
go,
kill
and
take
what
we
want
if
a
strong
man
do
stand
up,
like
somebody
said,
will
he
be
lynched,
we
don't
know,
look
what
happened
to
george
floyd
is
oppression
in
certain
communities
really
real?
Is
it
really
real?
U
U
Why
was
I
out
walking
in
my
community
I'm
a
good
citizen,
I'm
an
army
veteran.
Why
was
I
out
walking
in
my
community,
and
I
got
the
cops
called
on
me
and
guns
drew
down
on
me?
I
didn't
do
nothing.
Why
did
that
happen?
I
didn't
see
it
happen
to
my
white
neighbors.
If
we
want
to
be
honest,
were
the
games
created
for
people
to
have
a
sense
of
belonging
because
they
was
just
not
accepted
by
a
system
that
constantly
reject
them?
Is
that
possible?
U
U
U
Why
is
my
sister
named
out
on
this
list
and
when
I
asked
this
man
he
said
well,
we
got
one
of
their
name
on
the
list,
but
but
we
don't
have
the
other
one,
because,
because
that
is
the,
what
did
you
say?
F
F
G
T
T
T
T
How
do
I
know
that?
Because
at
13
I
was
in
a
game,
I'm
here
to
tell
you
what
a
happen
is.
If
I
ain't
got
no
money-
and
I
can't
get
it
from
my
household-
I
can't
get
it
from
my
household
and
so-and-so
down
the
street
got
a
hundred
dollars
and
he
got
a
nice
car
guess
where
I'm
going.
Let's
be
real,
let's
not
fool
ourselves!
T
T
It
keeps
going
and
going
you
can
clean
up
the
gang
of
the
days
two
years
from
now
that
little
brother
is
gonna,
join
the
game.
I'm
telling
you
what
I've
seen,
not
what
I
heard
I'm
telling
you
what
I
know
have
got
to
get
serious.
We
can
talk
all
day,
but
until
we
get
serious
about
putting
money
on
the
south
side,
money
jobs,
careers,
not
even
jazz
careers-
till
we
get
serious,
don't
close
down
a
pool.
V
Good
afternoon
everybody
I'm
jennifer
lee
dunny,
I'm
community
advocate
on
many
fronts.
Some
of
y'all
have
seen
me
before
on
different
things.
I
am
a
south
side
resident,
I'm
a
former
city
employee
to
count
to
piggyback
on
what
he
said.
I
am
so
sorry,
representative
smyre,
but
it
begins
with
the
state
also
answering
emails.
V
V
One
of
the
things
I
want
to
address
is
what
are
we
doing
to
refresh
the
neighborhood
watch
program?
I
put
something
out
there
on
our
favorite
drama
page
concerned.
Citizens
got
one
response,
one,
that's
a
problem
that
is
supposed
to
be
a
way
for
citizens
to
get
engaged
to
be
smart
about
how
to
look
out
for
things
to
be
educated.
V
V
When
do
we
call
for
speeders?
When
do
we
call
for
shots
fired?
How
are
we
supposed
to
engage
with
9-1-1,
not
just
call
in
a
panic,
not
get
upset
when
we
ask
for
descriptions-
and
I
understand
yeah
I'd-
be
pissed
off.
Excuse,
my
french.
If
someone
asked
me
well,
what
does
a
person
look
like?
I
had
to
fight
with
a
caller
say:
well,
you
know
what
we
didn't
get
to
your
person
that
was
passed
out
because
no
one
told
us
it
was
a
black
male.
There
was
a
white
male
passed
out
further
up
the
street.
V
V
W
Mine's
not
so
much
of
a
question,
but
first
of
all
I
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
all
of
you
guys
that
are
here.
I
appreciate
our
mayor
who,
before
he
even
took
office,
met
with
me
john
house,
who
comes
on
winston
road
and
attend
my
meeting
pop,
who
always
pick
up
with
the
phone
when
I
call,
and
so
also
it's
bruce.
So
I
do
want
to
give
credit
to
our
officials.
W
I
have
been
my
husband
went
into
winston
road
20
something
years
ago
only
to
be
a
help,
and
most
of
you
know
I
didn't
go
to
the
city
for
anything.
We
pulled
out
of
the
resources
that
we
had
and
we
provided
feeding
programs
which
we
were
feeding
over
a
hundred
children
and
adults
daily
for
10
years
up
into
the
covet.
We
also
provided
ged
classes
and
all
kinds
of
things.
I
went
to
the
city
myself
and
you
guys
worked
with
me
and
I
I
came
up
with
a
lot
of
things
that
would
help.
W
I
always
said
from
day
one
that
every
community
has
its
own
dna.
What
would
work
for
this
community
may
not
work
for
the
other
one,
but
I
did
know
that
winston
road
is
a
community
that
do
not
share.
I
have
been
on
the
scene
right
after
some
shootings
and
no
one
talks,
and
I
don't
blame
them
for
that.
I
understand
later
on
why
what
happens,
because
I
went
and
had
a
cleaning
initiative
where
we
went
out
and
cleaned
the
community
and
they
were
so
mad
that
they
literally
called
up
my
home
address.
W
That
was
not
something
that
I
thought
when
was
known
the
very
next
day
they
pulled
out
trash
and
put
it
back.
They
did
not
appreciate
the
help
that
we
provided,
although
I
own
property
on
winston
road,
we
have
a
church
on
western
road.
I
have
two
actually
modulars
that
we
use
for
the
youth
and
for
the
young
adults
and
all
of
that
that
they
can
use
at
any
point.
We
do
programs
all
the
time
over
there,
but
they
did
not
want
the
help
of
cleaning
up
that
community.
W
I
also
brought
out
that
a
lot
of
these
homes
are
abandoned
homes
and
therefore
they
were
selling
drugs
out
of
it
yeah.
We
had
some
arrests,
but
drugs
is
a
family
business,
so
within
30
days
is
back
in
operation,
probably
before
that,
because
the
child
took
over
where
you
arrested
the
father,
I
stated
from
the
beginning
that
we
have
to
start
at
the
bottom
put
these
people
back
to
work
as
soon
as
they
are
out
of
jail.
When
you
have
a
failure,
you've
done
your
time.
W
We
should
not
put
that
over
anybody
ahead
if
they
do
another,
when
they
go
back
to
jail,
come
out
and
able
to
work
and
maintain
and
be
able
to
take
care
of
their
family.
If
I
can't
take
care
of
my
family
can't
feed
my
young
children,
I
don't
know
what
I
would
do.
I
thank
god
that
I'm
able
to
do
that,
but
I
watch
these
people.
W
I
I
call
companies
day
and
night
trying
to
get
people
to
work
and
we
say
that
there
are
companies
out
there
that
that
will
hire
well,
you
let
me
know-
and
I
called
the
list
I
was
given.
That
is
not
true
did
I
say
we
got
enough
this
and
that
so
what
are
they
going
to
do?
The
next
thing
I
know
they
have
barred
me
out
of
their
life
going
back
to
doing
what
they
want
to
do.
I
think
that's
and
I
wouldn't
stop.
W
I
think,
as
a
community
come
together,
I
felt
I
was
threatened
and
I'm
kind
of
concerned
about
the
cameras
here
I
was
threatened.
My
life
was
threatened
because
of
the
simple
fact
that
they
said
I
brought
in
the
policeman,
so
people
was
arrested.
So
I
pushed
back
my
husband
passed.
So
excuse
me
sorry,
I
was
alone,
so
I
think
that
we
need
to
come
together.
W
W
Isn't
that
right,
I
didn't
want
you
to
put
your
life
in
danger,
but
I'm
saying
that
this
is
that
we
have
to
when
you
see
people
working
come
together
with
them
they're
going
through
a
lot
trying
to
make
a
community
different
and
healthy,
and
now
once
the
road
is
to
a
point
where,
when
I
look
at,
I
just
throw
my
hands
down,
I
don't
know
what
would
be
able
to
happen,
but
I
hear
byron.
Byron
had
a
lot
of
great
ideas
that
I
thought
about.
W
X
Good
afternoon,
I'm
glad
it's
forward
and
from
transplant
to
columbus,
but
I've
been
here
for
a
very
long
time
in
and
out
of
the
city,
I
have
concerns
that
are
economic.
X
X
X
We
have
a
lot
of
blighted
areas
in
our
community.
I
know
there
are
funds
out
there
that
can
be
accessed,
but
who
knows
about
them?
I've
sat
on
several
committees
and
I
see
money's
been
allocated
to
programs
that
are
not
very
much
help
to
our
communities
and
unless
you
got
somebody
sitting
on
those
committees
who
are
vocal
and
have
a
real
concern
about
what
goes
on
in
our
community,
we
don't
get
any
of
that
money.
It
goes
to
other
programs
that
are
less
beneficial
to
us.
X
Environmental
services
you're
just
talking
about
the
trash
and
all
of
that
and
yes,
we
can
help,
but
I
also
observed
our
tr
trash
service,
picking
up
trash
leaving
half
of
it
on
the
street.
X
They
don't
do
that
open,
brook
stone
things
that
are
not
picked
up
for
months
on
scenerio
road,
there's
some
trees
that
were
cut
down
by
the
the
residents,
and
it's
that
some
of
it
is
still
there.
I
sat
there
for
several
months
before
anything
was
done
about
it.
X
These
are
some
concerns
that
I
have
and
where
is
the
chamber
of
commerce
today,
where
is
the
better
business
bureau?
Why
aren't
these
service
entities
involved
in
our
community
meetings?
How
do
they
get
information
out
to
our
communities
so
that
people
know
what
kind
of
monies
are
available?
X
There
are
people
who
would
like
to
start
businesses.
They
get
very
little
assistance
from
the
city
from
the
business
community,
and
I
know
from
personal
experience
you
don't
get
the
same
cooperation
from
the
banks
and
other
financial
institutions
in
this
city
that
they
give
to
people
of
other
persuasions.
X
I
would
like
to
see
more
involvement
and
corporation
programs
that
are
training
parents.
We
talk
about
parents
being
involved
or
not
involved.
Well,
we
got
babies
having
babies
and
and
those
parents
need
to
be
worked
with.
They
need
to
be
worked
within
the
schools
for
the
churches
and
every
other
entity
that
we
have
in
place
and,
finally,
where
are
welcome
signs
to
columbus?
X
X
We
had
several
championships
won
by
students
of
schools
in
this
community.
I
didn't
see
the
first
sign
go
up.
I
saw
very
little
done
to
celebrate
those
students
who
worked
very
hard
to
accomplish
what
they
did
and
unless
we
celebrate
these
young
people
they're
going
to
do
just
what
they're
doing
they
leave
and
they
don't
come
back,
but
we
we
need
to
celebrate
who
we
are
and
we
don't
have
any
signs.
X
I
come
in
I'll
make
a
road
there's
a
little
sign,
say:
columbus,
georgia,
muskogee
county,
that
you
hardly
notice
when
you
go
across
one
of
the
bridges,
but
I
see
them
everywhere
else
that
I
go.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you.
I
know
the
city
manager
wants
to
add
some
to
this
as
well,
because
I'm
going
to
try
to
touch
on
a
couple
of
those
things,
one
putting
money
in
south
columbus.
I
agree.
It's
been
a
focus,
I
think,
for
the
city
to
try
to
do
what
we
can
do
from
a
governmental
aspect
to
attract
businesses.
There
there's
been
almost
300
million
dollars,
I
think,
invested
in
infrastructure
in
south
columbus.
C
We
we've
done
those
strategically
and
they're,
designed
to
open
up
thoroughfares,
so
that
businesses
will
find
locating
their
more
attractive
because
you'll
be
able
to
generate
more
consistent
traffic
through
that
area.
The
interchange,
the
casita
road,
the
the
spider
web,
the
roundabouts
and
realigning
brennan
and
fort
benning
road,
the
the
streetscaping
that's
taking
place
out
there
and
it
is
having
some
impact
because
we're
hearing
from
some
of
the
housing
developers
that
they're
putting
some
developments
in
areas
of
town
that
they
have
never
looked
at
before
far
not
far
road.
C
I'm
sorry
brennan
road,
they're,
looking
at
far
road,
I
think
neighbor
works
is
looking
at
a
a
an
area
out.
There.
We've
got
a
new
development
plan
through
neighbor
works
out
off
victory
drive,
that's
going
to
be
centered
around
an
activity
center,
so
we
are-
and
we
are
also
I'll
mention
gerald
mitchell.
If
you
haven't
met
gerald
gerald,
is
the
new
ceo
of
the
columbus
chamber.
First
african-american,
ceo
of
columbus
of
the
columbus
chamber.
C
He
has
got
some
outstanding
ideas.
He
and
I
actually
had
a
chance
to
spend
about
two
days
together
a
week
ago,
he's
very
focused
on
minority-owned
businesses
and
finding
a
way
to
erase
the
stigma
of
the
chamber
as
being
just
for
large
businesses.
He
recognizes
and
understands
he.
He
came
from
atlanta
where
he
had
helped
to
shape
the
beltline,
which
is
a
very
diverse
commercial
strip.
That
is,
he
just
did
an
amazing
job
he's
an
awesome
guy.
I
think
you're
going
to
see
some
results
in
the
area
of
of
women-owned
businesses
and
minority-owned
businesses.
C
So
so
we
continue
to
try
to
the
signs
it's
something
else.
I
remember
I
actually
had
a
parent
from
a
school
on
the
north
side
called
me
complaining
about
not
having
signs
and
we
check,
and
I
can't
tell
you
the
locations,
but
I
know,
for
example,
carver
had
five
signs
placed
throughout
the
community
at
the
entrance
welcoming
people,
because
we
had
the
parade
for
carver.
That
was
a
pretty
unique
deal
where
the
boys
and
girls
basketball
team
went
on
the
same
floor
over
the
same
weekend,
and
we
do
try
to
recognize
these
kids.
C
We
bring
them
up
before
council.
We
do
place
signs,
we
need
a
more
in
the
city
manager
and
I
have
talked
about
this.
We
need
a
more
comprehensive
approach
to
it,
because
we
need
to
be
able
to
recognize
kids
on
the
debate
team
state
championship.
Just
like
we
do
the
kids
that
win
the
state
championship
basketball.
C
So
we
need
to
have
some
kind
of
process
where
we
have
almost
like
an
ad.
A
sign
city
manager
said
a
half
dozen
times.
We
need
to
trumpet
our
community.
We
need,
as
you
point
out,
to
make
a
statement.
So
we
we
are
working
with
d.o.t
on
some
of
the
signage
for
the
young
people
and
their
their
accomplishments,
but
we
also
need
to
look
at
putting
some
bigger,
bigger
signs
up
there
to
let
folks
know.
C
I
tell
him
all
the
time
it
gripes
me,
because
when
I
come
from
atlanta
and
if,
if
I'm,
if
I'm
coming
back
through
atlanta
say
from
out
towards
augusta,
when
I
hit
atlanta
I'll
see
a
sign
that
says
to
birmingham
and
I'm
like
you're
kidding
me
columbus,
georgia
is
the
largest
city,
but
that
you're
going
to
hit
first
and
it
just
doesn't
have
it
on
there.
E
Let
me
just
mention
that
I
know
that
ms
ford
mentioned
a
number
of
things,
but
I
feel
compelled
to
highlight
one
thing
that
I
want
to
make
crystal
clear.
E
E
E
E
If
they
need
a
piece
of
equipment
if
they
want
to
go
out
of
town,
if
they
want
to
do
a
program,
a
service,
they
got
to
talk
to
her
parks
and
rec
or
public
works.
They
need
a
garbage
truck.
They
got
to
talk
to
her
she's,
not
just
a
figurehead
and
I'm
not
just
a
figurehead,
and
I
say
all
that
to
get
to
the
point
that
if
you
find
that
someone
is
mowing
grass
in
brookstone
and
want
mowed
on
steam
mill
road,
that's
a
problem
for
me.
E
E
They
can't
work
for
me
if
that
happens,
so
be
clear
about
that.
So
when
you
hear
that
out
in
the
streets
shake
your
head
and
if
you
see
it
and
it's
happening
it's
for
real
call
her
or
call
me
we'll
fix
it.
I
just
want
to
be
clear
about
that,
and
I
often
hear
that
well
they'll
mow
it
over
here,
but
they
don't
do
it
over
here.
They
pick
up
over
here
and
they
won't
pick
up
now.
E
E
We
have
a
tree
for
fee
and
you
call
us
and
we'll
pick
it
up
and
you'll
see
orange
paint
sprayed
on
those
and
we
are
giving
them
a
warning
and
we're
going
to
take
them
to
court
if
they
don't
clean
it
up,
and
so,
if
you
see
that
big
huge
tree
out
there
on
the
right
away
that
they
paid
someone
to
cut
down
and
they
cut
it
down
themselves
and
they
left
it
out
there,
we
don't
pick
that
up.
We
will
there's
a
tree
for
feet,
but
I
tell
my
wife
all
the
time
about
her.
D
And
thank
you,
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin.
She
was
actually
instrumental
in
helping
me
her
in
city
manager,
isaiah,
hewley
and
putting
this
together
today.
So
I
thank
both
of
them
for
their
help.
Ms
ford,
thank
you
for
your
question
and
I
want
to.
I
want
to
just
tell
you
all
that
we
have
a
3-1-1
app
so
and
I'ma
pass
get
one
of
the
latest
to
pass
them
out.
But
when
you
see
things
like
that,
you
can
do
a
request.
D
Our
public
service,
when
it's
on
march
6,
we
will
have
an
event,
a
citywide
cleanup
event.
So
not
only
will
we
be
able
to
see
something
and
say
something,
but
we
will
be
able
to
get
out
and
actually
clean
up,
so
we'll
be
able
to
clean
up
our
neighborhoods.
You
can
contact
your
city
manager,
the
city
manager,
your
city,
council,
member,
your
representative,
and
sign
up
to
volunteer
to
pick
up
the
and
let's
really
focus
on
making
our
communities
better
each
and
every
one
of
us.
D
So
that's
that's
number
number
one
and
number
two,
just
please
three
one
one!
If
you
have
an
issue
put
it
put
it
in
you
know,
that's
the
re.
We
we
create
tools
for
the
city,
the
citizens
of
columbus.
That
way
it's
easy
for
you
to.
Actually,
if
you
see
something
you
can
put
it
in,
and
you
can
help
us
because
you're
our
eyes
and
our
ears
in
the
city.
So
this
is
a
crime
prevention.
A
M
What
I
can
probably
do
like
these
questions,
they're
mostly
these-
are
mostly
statements
that
I
have
and
I
will
just
go
ahead
and
ask
the
two
that
I'm
gonna
ask
one
is
about
a
tattoo
parlor.
I
think
it
was
kathy
caldwell.
M
D
Up
so
what
I'm
going
to
say,
and
I'm
trying
to
keep
this,
what
I'm
going
to
say
you
all,
we
know
we
can.
We
can
be
in
here
until
five
o'clock
asking
questions
and
I
might
have
to
do
another.
It
might
have
to
be
a
quarterly.
I
can't
remember.
I
think
it
was
mr
broadwater
that
made
a
comment
that
maybe
we
need
to
have
this
on
a
quarterly
basis,
but
especially
we
have
this
amount
of
people
here.
So
we're
going
to
read
the
ones
that's
on
the
cards
you
all
there
are
standing
up.
I
apologize.
D
Y
J
Y
Y
Okay,
my
son
got
killed
in
2001
as
me,
being
a
parent
working
with
the
police
department
of
the
detective
department
january
25th.
He
lost
his
life.
I
worked
with
the
victim,
witness
and
so
forth,
and
the
detectives
very
closely
and
the
police
department.
They
only
could
do
their
investigation,
but
by
me,
working
with
them
on
a
positive
working
side
by
side
with
them
and
working
with
the
ones
that
my
son
was
involved
in
someone
else,
who's
saying
about
your
children
know
who
your
children
are
working
with
and
being
with
it
so
forth.
Y
I
was
able
to
track
down
the
the
the
perpetrator
who
taken
my
son's
life
and
almost
that
same
year,
2000
that
young
man
was
convicted
and
so
forth,
but
I
do
want
to
say
you
know
everyone
did
their
job.
You
know
me
as
being
a
parent.
I
had
to
do
my
job
also
working
with
them
being
patient
are
being
in
court
and
all
them
different
things
and
talking
to
the
young,
men
and
so
forth,
and
the
young
man
and
I
became
real
close.
Y
You
know
I
wrote
him
while
he
was
in
prison
when
he
got
out
of
prison,
we
were
able
to
obtain
him
a
job,
thank
god
to
for
the
the
place
out
on
the
north
side
of
town.
He
was
a
convicted
felon,
but
he
were
able
to
obtain
employment
and
so
forth
by
being
a
positive
force
and
so
forth,
working
with
the
police
department
and
once
they
get
out,
they
have
to
have
something
to
do.
I
totally
agree
convicted
felon.
Y
You
don't
want
to
have
them
on
places
like
mcdonald's
and
waffle
house
and
places
like
that,
but
I
do
want
to
say
something
positive,
thank
god
for
the
police
department
and
you
all
in
your
positions
downtown.
You
can
only
do
so
much
and
we
as
parents
and
neighbors
and
so
forth,
talk
with
our
children.
They
don't
open
up
to
you,
talk
make
friends
with
them,
don't
become
the
enemy
because
you
just
say:
oh
so-and-so
killed
my
child
get
with
them,
individuals
and
so
forth.
They'll
talk
and
they
have.
Y
You
know
we
get
angry
in
this
verbal
moment
and
then
there's
something
to
me,
something
oh,
it
can
be
resolved.
You
know,
even
though
they
might
have
to
serve
that,
but
still
work
with
all
you
and
with
the
tattoos
your
child
come
along
with
a
tattoo
find
out.
You
know
you
purchase
and
get
enough
money
to
purchase
a
tattoo
with
a
tap
with
the
game.
Sign,
that's
a
sign
there!
That's
the
warning
for
that
parent!
Y
Oh
something
going
on
my
child
talk
with
your
child
or
get
with
a
detective
someone
that
you
trust
that
you
know
open
up
with
your
son,
because
normally
you
don't
have
men,
women's
commitment
crying
but
anyway,
but
do
that
and
I
found
out
that
to
be
a
positive
force
and
helping
me
to
go
on
with
my
life
with
the
death
of
my
son.
Thank.

We
had
42
murders,
as
I
stated
earlier,
which
23
of
those
were
solved,
and
we
really
appreciate
the
support
from
our
citizens,
as
they
share
the
information
with
us
and
for
those
remaining
cases
that
are
unsolved.
Please
share
that
information
because
these
families
need
to
have
that
individual
or
those
individuals
brought
to
justice.
H
I
D
I'm
gonna
ask
deandra:
I've
been
working
with
you
for
a
while
with
the
issues
that
we've
had
in
carver
park
and
our
city
manager,
isaiah
julian
deputy
center
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin,
secure
funding,
so
we're
going
to
put
up
some
gates
and
a
matter
of
fact
right
now,
they're
actually
being
installed,
and
that
will
decrease
the
amount
of
traffic.
Because
when
the
park
is
closed,
it
would
not
be
any
traffic
and
what
was
occurring
was
after
hours
at
dark
at
night
time
they
were
shooting
in
the
park,
and
I
know
that's
like
right
behind.
D
You
know
your
property,
so
that's
number
one
and
number
two.
The
cameras
that
are
in
the
recreation
center
can
be
linked
up
with
the
east
precinct.
D
So
that's
another
thing
that
you
know
we
we
basically
discovered
when
we
went
out
and
did
a
site
survey
and
actually
myself
and
city
council
giant
house
went
out
there
and
did
a
walkthrough
in
a
drive-through
of
carver
park
back
in
october.
So
these
things
are
actually
being
done.
The
gates,
I
think,
have
already
been
they
have
already
been
put
up.
So
those
are
things
that
will
deter
and
decrease
that
gun
violence
in
that
area.
E
And
I
just
want
to
say
very
quickly
that
we
are
going
to
be
placing
cameras
in
hot
spots
where
there's
illegal
dumping
going
on
and
so
deputy
city
manager,
lisa
goodwin,
is
working
on
that
and
we're
going
to
catch
those
who
are
dumping.
You
know,
like
fair
oaks,
drive
popcorns,
you
know
I'm
sick
and
tired
of
it.
M
Going
to
combine
these
two
questions,
one
is:
can
we
bring
some
of
the
gang
members
together
for
sit
down
to
assemble
and
try
to
bring
them
to
a
peaceful
understanding
with
one
another
and
the
other
one
is?
Do
we
have
a
unit
to
suppress
street
drugs.
F
Okay,
as
far
as
the
gang
members
bringing
them
together,
the
sheriff
or
not,
the
sheriff-
and
I
have
met
with
some
individuals
who
are
connected
with
these
gangs
and
we're
looking
to
develop
even
more
information
as
we
interact
with
them
as
we
work
to
suppress,
decrease
and
eliminate
this
gain
activity,
that's
taking
place
and
we
do
have
units
that
are
on
the
streets
working
to
suppress
drugs
as
well
as
gain
activity
from
taking
place.
So
we
do
have
units
already
on
the
streets.
That's
doing
that.
N
F
Behind
the
church
of
christ
on
cassidy
road,
we
have
like
I
said
earlier:
we
have
a
drug
unit
that
addresses
these
drug
complaints.
So,
as
we
receive
complaint
information,
we
will
investigate
those
locations
and
determine
the
best
approach
as
from
a
law
enforcement
perspective
to
make
a
case,
and
so
when
we
receive
a
complaint,
we
work
it
from
an
angle
that
would
give
us
the
best
opportunity
to
make
a
solid
case
for
a
conviction.
F
We
just
don't
get
the
information
and
go
there
the
next
day
with
a
search
warrant.
We
have
to
meticulously
work
the
case
and
develop
a
very
solid
case
for
prosecution.
So
we
will
definitely
pass
that
information
on
to
our
drug
unit
to
ensure
that
they
had
that
particular
location
to
their
list
and
we'll
work
to
get
the
results.
E
E
Well,
that's
not
how
they
do
their
work,
and
so
you
know
I
and
I'm
like
well.
Why
didn't
they
just
go,
get
them
right
now
and
they
are
sitting
back,
not
getting
overly
excited
about
it,
and
then
it
may
be
six
months
from
that.
They'll
call
me
and
say
we
got
them,
but
you
know
they're
doing
their
work.
So
when
you
report
something
like
that,
whoever
that
question
came
from
if
they
don't
go,
get
them
right,
then
that
doesn't
mean
they've
ignored
it
and
they're,
not
working.
E
You
know
and-
and
I've
just
learned
to
be
a
bit
patient
because
they
know
what
they're
doing
they
know
how
to
work
it.
That's
what
they've
trained
they're
trained
to
do,
and
so
don't
get
discouraged
because
you
called
it
in
today
and
you
expected
them
to
go
out
there
at
midnight
tonight
and
and
rush
the
house
and
they
they.
They
heard
you
and
they're
working.
I
If
I
can
add
too,
is
that
echo
what
the
city
manager
is
saying
that
I
keep
saying
that
we
need
credible
information,
because
whether
you
give
it
to
the
police
department
or
the
sheriff's
office,
if
you
give
it
to
the
sheriff's
office
and
if
we
work
it
and
as
a
city
manager
said,
everything
doesn't
happen
overnight,
because
sometimes,
if
we're
sitting
up
watching
watching
a
dwelling,
we
may
see
somebody
else,
that's
connected
to
something
else,
and
so,
if
we
can
gather
more
information,
that
case
turns
into
something
that
will
evolve
into
something
bigger
to
where
we
can
take
down
bigger
fish
in
the
community.
I
I
Now
two
came
from
muskogee
county,
but
if
they
had
any
connection
close
to
muscogee
county,
we
tracked
them
down
and
we
went
to
go
and
get
them.
If
you
give
us
the
information
and
I
brag
on
our
special
response
team,
they
are
highly
trained
that
we
will
go
into
places
and
we
do
search
warrants
all
the
time.
That's
what
we
do.
I
If
you
give
us
the
information,
we're
going
to
work
it
and
we're
going
to
work
it
until
the
wheels
fall
off
of
it,
because
we
want
these
folks,
just
like
you
want
them
off
of
the
street.
We
want
a
safer
city
and
we
are
going
to
take
back
our
community.
That's
the
attitude
that
we
have
now
by
all
means.
Thank
you.
N
N
F
As
I
stated
earlier,
we
have
officers
that
interact
in
our
school
system,
of
course,
because
of
our
pandemic
that
we're
experiencing.
We
cannot
do
it
full
scale
like
we
want
to,
but
nonetheless
we
are
in
the
schools
and
we
are
interacting
with
the
students
to
show
them
the
direction
to
go
with
teaching
them
some
very
solid
principles
that
are
their
related
principles.
F
As
far
as
that
particular
unit,
we
are
working
to
continue
to
go
into
our
middle
schools,
but,
like
I
said,
we
have
to
cautiously
approach
going
into
the
school.
So
we
can't
do
it
full
scale
because
we've
done
summer
camps
but
there'll
be
great
camps
and
we
look
to
continue
those
programs.
But
we
just
have
to
be
cautious
in
our
approach
presently,
but
we
still
interact
with
students
and
we
will
continue
to
interact
with
students
to
teach
them.
N
H
There's
no
evidence
that
anything
when
you
make
when
you
refer
to
activity,
if
you're
talking
about
the
shootings
that
that
has
been
regularly
occurring,
there's
no
evidence
there's
nothing
that
supports.
That
is
not
anything,
that's
involving
boogaloo
or
anything
anyone
from
outside
of
columbus.
There's
none
of
that
evidence.
That
indicates
that.
So
to
answer
that
question,
I
would
say
know
that,
as
best
right
now
is,
is
a
problem
that's
occurring
in
columbus
and
it's
more
likely
dealing
with
individuals
that
is
in
the
neighborhoods
in
columbus.
D
Before
before
we
end,
I
have
a
question
that
says:
could
we
have
direct
phone
numbers
so
that
one
can
get
in
contact
with
our
leaders?
I
know
that
our
columbus
columbusgeorgia.org.
D
D
I
know
my
constituents
have
my
number
and
they
call
me-
and
I
answer-
and
I
address
the
issues,
so
I
don't
think
that
exactly
so
that
3-1-1
card
that
you
that
you
have,
you
can
call
3-1-1
and
they
will
direct
you
to
whoever
it
is
that
you
want
to
speak
to
whatever
counselor
or
the
city
manager
or
whoever,
whatever
director
that
you
need
to
speak
to
it,
you
can
get
in
contact
with
all
your
city
leaders.
So
to
that
question
you
do
have
direct
direct
line
of
communication
with
your
city
leaders.
C
C
Frankly,
that
eight
to
ten
dollars
was
being
paid
to
those
individuals.
While
they
were
in
school,
they
actually
were
graduating
from
that
into
pre-arranged
jobs
that
we're
going
to
earn
between
50
and
70
000.
So
so
that
was
just
while
they
were
learning
and
while
they
were
in
the
school,
that's
a
program.
The
church
is
running.
Thank
you,
sir.
I
And
also,
if
I
can
leave
my
number
for
the
sheriff's
office
is
706.
E
H
And
if
you
want
to
pass
on
information
that
may
be
gang-related
and
you
don't
want
to
leave
your
name,
the
number
that
you
can
do
that
at
is.
H
706-225-4471
and
just
leave
the
information
there
just
briefly
say
why
you're
calling
and
we'll
follow
up
on
it
that,
in
regards
to
that,
I'm
making
a
reference
to
gang
tagging
that
you
want
to
come
out
and
take
a
look
at
and
and
analyze
that
gang
tagging
or
just
bits
and
pieces
of
information
that
you
may
have
received
from
a
child.
That's
in
your
family,
whether
it's
your
child,
your
your
grandson,
your
granddaughter
a
cousin,
a
nephew
or
niece.
H
A
As
we
get
ready
to
to
conclude
as
we
get
ready
to
conclude,
we're
gonna
have
the
past
to
come
up
a
minute
to
come
up.
Minister
steve
thomas,
I
want
to
leave
you
one
thing
for
three
years
of
my
correctional
career.
I
served
as
a
unit
manager
in
the
state
of
oklahoma.
A
A
We're
not
too
far
gone
all
right,
one
of
the
major
things
that
I
would,
as
I
said,
with
these
games,
because
I
I
managed
more
than
480
different
gang
members,
all
right
from
some
of
the
things
that
they
were
speaking
about
these
gangs
that
affiliated
they're
called
love
sets.
That
means
they
have
love
for
this
specific
game.
All
right,
you
have
to
be
aware
of
those
type
people
they
may
not
be.
They
might
just
be
that
street
that
you
stay
on,
but
who,
who
are
they
showing
homage
to
who
are
they
loving
right?
A
Who
are
they
supporting?
Another
thing
is
that
as
you
look
around
the
room
as
you
look
around
the
room,
one
of
the
biggest
things
I
used
to
hear
I
would
hear
talking
to
these
guys
was.
If
I
had
somebody
like
you,
if
I
had
somebody
like
you,
I
wouldn't
be
here
now.
The
problem
is
that
a
lot
of
times
what
we
say
is
that
they
don't
want
they
don't
listen.
A
A
Somebody
had
to
tell
us
something
because
at
a
point
in
our
life,
our
parents
told
us.
We
can't
tell
you
nothing,
but
you
made
it
through.
The
seed
had
to
be
planted
right.
The
bible
says
in
romans,
22
and
6
says
raise
up
a
child
in
which
way
he
should
go
in
when
he
has
grown.
He
should
not
depart
from
it.
It
doesn't
say
when
he's
18.,
it
doesn't
say
when
he's
19.,
it
doesn't
say
when
he
gets
a
job,
paying
30
000,
it
doesn't
say
when
he
gets
when
he
has
his
first
kid.
A
It
says
when
he
has
grown
all
right,
so
please
keep
investing
in
your
kids.
Keep
investing
in
the
kids
that
around
you
come
out
of
retirement,
come
out
of
retirement
and
visit.
Some
of
these
schools
come
out
of
retirement
visit.
Some
of
these
boys
and
girls.
Clubs
say
something
to
the
kids
that
are
on
your
street.
Talk
to
them
just
say:
hey,
let
them
know
you
care,
because
some
of
these
kids
are
walking
out
of
household,
where
parents
don't
care
where
parents
don't
say
have
a
great
day
at
school.
A
A
It's
about
playing
that
seed
and
I
promise
you.
I
said
I
have
guys
right
now.
I
work
with.
I:
haven't
I've
been
away
from
the
department
of
juvenile
justice
and
corrections
since
2019.
A
since
2019
I
left
oklahoma
in
2018,
and
I
connected.
I
know
people
who
run
stuff,
but
it's
the
seed
that
was
planted
while
it
was
in
there
the
seed
that
was
planted
while
it
was
in
there,
they
came
out
and
made
a
change
and
we
still
have
opportunities
to
make
changes.
I
stayed
my
parents,
I
was
raised
off
steam
monroe.
A
I
was
raised
in
east
columbus.
I
was
raised
in
bennett,
hills
right.
I
had
all
the
opportunities
to
do
everything
that
everybody
else
did
and
didn't
want
to
do
and
did
some
of
them,
but
it's
a
seed
that
was
planted
that
changed
everything.
That's
the
seed
to
make
this
brother
right
here
with
this
omega
jacket
on
and
say,
I'm
not
going
to
be
a
gang
member,
no
more.
They
probably
couldn't
tell
them
at
13,
but
look
at
him
now
it's
the
seed
that
was
planted.
A
So
please
come
out
of
retirement
because
it
just
takes
one
of
us
to
stop
one
of
them.
They
won't
make
no
more.
It's
just
like
the
gremlins
drop,
some
water
on
them
they
multiply,
but
if
you
feed
them
and
treat
them
right,
they
won't
multiply
that
number
right.
So
I
just
leave
y'all
with
that.
Before
I
turn
over
to
the
pastor,
please
come
out
of
retirement
reach
out
to
these
kids
reach
out
to
these
kids.
It
takes
a
village
that
is
not
a
fake
state
statement.
A
A
M
Someone
said
something
about
fasting
at
a
certain
time,
and
someone
had
a
question
about
that.
They
won't
know
when
that
when
that
was
going
to
be,
he
left
okay,
all
right
and
then
also
is
there
a
reward
for
leads
any
kind
of
leads
that
you
guys
get
there
award
for
that.
Someone
had
a
question
about
that
for
elite
or
tips.
I'm
sorry
for
tips.
F
O
Something
about
what
I
talked
about
earlier.
Can
we
have
an
initiative
to
cover
up
these
these
graffitis
and
things
like
that.
I
think
it
might
be
important.
I
do
think
they
stir
up
feelings
and
to
leave
them
there
and
people
come
in
and
I
just
I
would
like
to
see
them
removed
now.
I
guess
I
could
go
up
there
to
that
building
and
paint
those
black
letters
white,
but
I
I
think
it's
more
than
that
one
building.
I
think
it
needs
to
be
something
that
is
addressed.
O
O
E
F
Z
Z
I've
been
in
these
streets
and
I
work
in
these
streets.
It's
time
to
help
each
other.
We
got
older
people
falling
on
the
ground
for
hearing
bullets
shot
we're
ringing
around.
I
was
sitting
yeah,
that's
the
problem.
We
got
and
we
are
here
to
help
y'all.
We
are
here
to
help
each
other.
A
lot
of
people
should
be
here.
More
people
should
be
here
and
listen.
Z
What's
going
on
it's
time
to
stop
this
some
killing
in
our
screen,
if
you
ain't
with
it
get
out
of
it,
you've
got
to
be
witness,
though
I
feel
for
my
old
people
like
this
this.
This
older
lady
came
up
real
early.
He
brought
y'all
about
brought
here
to
my
heart,
to
listen
to
her
say
about
this
song.
Go
inside.
He
got
inside
people
getting
skilled
black
people
in
prison.
Z
Z
You
had
a
mom.
You
haven't
y'all
care
in
nine
months.
The
thing
I
want
to
hear
how
women
now
men
stop
doing
is
letting
each
other
down
about
talking
about
each
other
and
you
growing
kids
up
if
he
called
you
a
bee.
He
let
you
down
in
front
of
your
kid,
and
you
got
your
offense
father.
You
let
him
down
for
the
kid
y'all
need
to
come
towards
each
other
and
start
talking
about
this
stuff
them
behind
those
night
in
front
of
your
or
when
they
grow
up.
Z
They're
gonna
have
it
in
their
heart
and
when
you're
trying
to
tell
them
something
they're,
not
gonna,
listen
because
you
did
that's
all
I
gotta
say
they
say:
I'm
wearing
black
footprint
and
boss,
we're
walking
the
street.
We
having
a
my
wife
and
sending
our
fly
island.
Dang
we're
gonna.
We
can
walk
this
week,
we're
gonna
walk
the
street
regard.
Faith,
we're
gonna,
walk
this
street.
Z
Z
Take
me
down,
I
pay
my
price
and
I
can
give
back
with
all
of
us
in
this
room.
We
can
fix
it
together.
We
don't
know
who
got
this
logo.
We
got
that
logo
who
got
this
little
gold,
the
all
our
logos
got
to
come
together
and
we
got
to
stand
firm,
each
and
every
last
one
of
us.
So
let's
walk
together.
Your
kids
are
my
kids,
my
kids,
your
kid!
Let's
get
it
back
like
this
together
back
in
the
days
our
parents
was
the
polices
in
our
neighborhood.
Z
There
was
police
down
the
neighborhood.
They
tell
you
when
to
go
home
and
yo
you
better,
not
gonna
tell
your
mama
son,
so
whoopi's
gonna
get
another.
So
let's
get
that,
let's
get
that
back
last
one
of
y'all.
AA
AA
They
were
ready
to
take
over
everything,
pay
for
everything,
so
we
didn't
have
to
pay
for
nothing.
Of
course,
me
being
a
christian,
I
don't
understand
that
who
are
these
people
want
to
do
all
this
stuff
to
do
all
that,
but
because,
when
he
could
make
it
at
home,
so
we
up
everybody
talking
about
money.
I
agree:
america,
that's
america,
money!
J
AA
We
got
to
really
get
to.
First
of
all,
we
have
to
stop
hating
on
each
other
and
and
not
telling
each
other.
What's
going
on
y'all
saying
for
us
to
tell
y'all
something
we
need
to
talk
to
each
other,
our
families,
the
family,
gets
to
broke
down
it
ain't,
what
it
used
to
be
so
the
games
pick
up
well,
he
dropped
the
ball.
AA
AA
We
can't
politicize
it,
we
can't
make
it
about
work
and
every
number,
but
that's
just
a
miracle-
messed
up
here,
right
now:
injustice
and
inequities,
but
as
for
our
children,
we
to
get
back
to
love,
humanity,
businesses
and
stop
prostituting
our
lives
beforehand
because
they,
like
I
live
in
colombia
to
go
to
another
city.
AA
B

want
to
thank
each
and
every

take
that
moment,
just

say
that,
from

perspective,
canaan
baptist
church

unified

of
people
