Crime is rampant. Gang violence is out of control. Murder and drug dealing are commonplace. Innocent children victimized by stray bullets. Criminals released from overcrowded prisons on I-bonds. Perpetrators of hideous crimes manipulate the system with appeals. The list is endless.

We must take our streets and neighborhoods back. I support Police Supt. Leroy Martin in his bid to restrict criminals` rights. Let`s treat criminals like they treat their victims. The police need more power to fight crime. Parole and I-bonds are not the answer. Police officers risk their lives everyday to protect us. We need to help and support them.
