Can anyone here provide a reason why you think this is a good idea vs alternative methods for reducing crime (ie investing in underdeveloped communities)

OP that Reddit post is goofy. The title is “I was assaulted and nothing happened”

It sounds like they spoke with a detective…but they were unable to pick the person out of a lineup, so there wasn’t definitive proof to arrest anyone

That’s quite literally how policing works in this country

They might actually make our police to do their job for a bit, but of course that’s only going to last for a bit before they go back to being lazy.

Even if that was true, they’ve been lazy for decades upon decades. It hasn’t gotten worse, they’ve been lazy since forever.

I don’t normally agree with Trump but this wouldn’t be a bad idea here.

Based on what they've been doing in DC they'll just be patrolling areas that are already low crime (e.g., the national mall in DC which has never really had cirme). At the end of day unless we actually prosecute the additional criminals that additional police presence might theoretically apprehend we don't end up in any different spot than we are today. Federal policing won't help our problems there.

Yes

And why shouldn’t I be? Crime since 2020 has been out of control.

Can you substantiate this? We stopped using public transport, had our home vandalized, been threatened by random people, stopped going out at night but ok…you say so without evidence. Only 573 homicides last year.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

Are there any well-off suburbs around Chicago where there's a significant amount of black or mixed race people? Significant meaning 40-50%+. I've seen a lot of nice black suburbs in southern and eastern cities but less in the midwest. In an interracial relationship and want to get an idea if there are any suburbs where our kids would feel represented or if we'll need to move down south for that.
