On the rising gun violence on WMBD AM 1470 Greg and Dan Morning show.

You may be able to listen to the entire interview, as I believe they Livestream their shows, and hear more than what is written here.

It’s a start. She’s at least admitting there is a serious problem. But it doesn’t sound like she has any suggestions for ending the violence

What are your suggestions?

Do you? If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.

Ali, as a black woman, has a unique opportunity that past mayors did not have. She can tell it like it is to all the gang bangers in town like this mom talked to her son and not be worried about being labeled a racist.



It's a cultural problem. Until that culture is gone, the problems will continue.

She will never answer that question. She goes completely silent when asked. But yet she is totally obsessed with the subject.

My suggestions:
1. Hire more police officers, and pay them better.
2. Put at least 75% of the available assets in the problem areas of the city. Profiling works. These murders aren’t being committed by blonde, blue-eyed cheerleaders from Dunlap.
3. @Tazewell nailed it. Mayor Ali doesn’t just have the ability to reach out to young Black men (and boys), she has the responsibility to do so.
4. If you fail to do the above, at least save the taxpayers some money by getting body bags at a volume discount.

5. Personally go to sentencing hearings and petition the court for harsh sentences.
