At least I already had my first cup of coffee before reading this:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – A strategy used to fight violent crime in cities like Detroit and Chicago will be implemented in Nashville, city leaders said Wednesday.

Group Violence Intervention (GVI) has been implemented in cities across the country by the National Network for Safe Communities at John Jay College in New York. It encourages police, non-profits, and social services to work together to target a small percentage of the population that are responsible for around half of the homicides.

It has worked wonders in Chicago recently, right?
And Detroit, by its own local newsrag continues to be among the most violent cities in the US. And the jackasses in Nashville City Council want to duplicate the same “success” from those two cities? Are they insane? No, they are Democrats, but I repeat myself.
Note that from 2016 to 2019 the stat starts off high, at 808, then drops steadily for three years: 685, 592 and 521. Wonder what happened during that time… besides ANTIFA?
Proof positive that the people running for your local offices are not the best and brightest. They are generally morons that cannot get a job anywhere else.

Seriously, my city implemented a “homeless” policy that was supposed to ensure we did not end up like Seattle or Portland. Curiously, their policy was doing EXACTLY what Seattle and Portland was doing, but for some reason, the Assembly thought it would work here.

Morons. All of them.
and if you look at what they spend/homeless person, they could have housed each and every one of them along w/ a stipend. But that would eliminate all the bureaucrats, administrators, and agencies that use all the funding.
