I believe the police should have more awareness on there doing in the community. I believe you still resting before they should know what reason and they should rest the right people they should not go around and just rest for nothing. I believe this weekend the order of the lot under control we can get the people under control but then they will see the people are more for them.

The police don't really pay much attention. Unless they're trying to take you to jail and then there are ears. The norm I don't know what's going on and not try to listen. They do take to the gym though I can say that. Really was a ride more about your shooting. Everything's been working a lot of stuff done and if so much stress from the community. Everything needs improvement.

My neighborhood can be good and my neighborhood can be bad. I love my neighbor had those because it's always something to do but sometimes you can get shot. Could be with your shop all the time in my neighborhood and also is a lot of potholes and she should come on your car and the construction is really bad they picked the wrong time to do it. But I love my neighborhood is okay in the end because I'm still here and life goes on.
