313. To Joe Scarborough & others: Southeast DC needs more SERVICES, not more police!

from The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo · host Dr. Omekongo Dibinga

So many pundits are saying that if #trump was really interested in reducing crime, he would send the troops to Southeast DC and not areas like Georgetown. As someone who lived in Southeast for over 20 years and is still a homeowner there, I am in Southeast weekly and I am connected still to the great work happening in DC. Southeast needs more services, not more police. Southeast has the highest concentration of youth but the schools get the least amount of funding. Even local museums are closing because of #trump budget cuts. More policing doesn't end crime. Social services and partnerships do. It's like people are saying don't occupy the nice parts of DC, just Southeast and its' really unfortunate. #pambondi #trump #donaldtrump #washingtondc #murielbowser #crime #crimenews #msnbc #morningjoe  @msnbc   @washingtoninformer3262  #washingtoninformer STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.
