Great Job Carlos… wait a minute I thought crime numbers were down. Sounds like we need a replacement at the top public safety position in our city. New leadership & direction is needed!
Ooh, that is extremely close to the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Ana, Pico-Lowell neighborhood, I believe. These gang-bangers need to be shown the door. Enough is enough…
New leadership isn’t going to change a thing. Start looking at prop 47, restorative justice programs and lack of accountability. Criminals have a free pass right now. While I agree drug users do not belong in jail, they do belong in a mandated locked rehab. Once the non-violent offenders were released and penalties lowered, the crime stats went up. Anyone who try’s to tell you otherwise is drinking the kool aide.
Somebody call trump he’ll get them the f*ck out!
