IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE’VE HEARD BEFORE. THIS IS A MULTIPRONGED PROBLEM, NEEDING MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS. I THINK IN THIS CONVERSATION AROUND GUNS, VIOLENCE, EDUCATION AND SAVING LIVES, I THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE WEARY. PEOPLE ARE FED UP. PEOPLE DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO. PEOPLE DON’T THINK THEY CAN DO ANYTHING. I WAS REALLY AS ASSESSMENT ABOUT THE ISSUE OF GUNS AND VIOLENCE COMES ONE DAY AFTER A COMMUNITY DIALOG HERE AT WOODWARD HIGH SCHOOL. DIALOG SPARKED BY A SHOOTING NEAR THE SCHOOL APRIL 4TH TO STUDENTS WERE SHOT AT A BUS STOP NEAR THE SCHOOL. AND NOW POLICE CONFIRM THEY HAVE ARRESTED THE JUVENILES.

CPS, A SUPERINTENDENT AND METRO LEADERS ARE ALSO MEETING TO DISCUSS SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS. STUDENTS SUGGESTED TO KEEP THEM SAFE. YOU KNOW, CURTIS, WE HAD BOYCOTT DEMANDS JUST LIKE THE STUDENTS AT WHAT WERE HIGH SCHOOL. AND THOSE BOYCOTT DEMANDS WERE MORE THAN JUST POLICE REFORM.
