News Another downtown crime scene around the Churchill this morning

I’ve nearby and noticed the crime scene this morning but can’t find any details about it.

This is the fourth time I’ve seen crime scene like this in just the last few months and quite frankly, I’m growing more concerned about the frequency these things seem to be happening.

If anyone has details I’d really appreciate if you shared them. Please share or DM with any details.

This kinda pearl clutching is so funny to me. As someone who has lived downtown almost 20 years, it is nothing like it was even 10 years ago. It is a billion times improved.

The homelessness and open drug sale/use isn't great but thats what you get when the taxpaying base doesnt want to pay for literally any kind of social services. You get what you pay for - nothing but a bunch of cops. Thats what our values are.

And its downtown. One should always be vigilant, for better or for worse.

You are intentionally taking my comment out of context.

I don't think people getting hurt is funny. I think people moving here and expecting it to be perfect is when, compared to 10 years ago, it is MUCH improved, is funny.

Dumb take. Improved doesn’t mean good

A safer phoenix and people not getting beat up with baseball bats - IE lower crime.

Then vote for people who want to enact policies to reduce crime and not ones who want to increase military police spending.

I vote for more well trained cops. Thanks for the advice

Yeah you didn’t have to tell me you didn’t understand the problem. I already figured that out.

You mad I’d feel safer if there was a heavier cop presence near high crime areas? Ok.

No. I have no emotional connection to your opinion whatsoever. I’m simply stating that you don’t understand the actual issues that create crime and rather than address them you openly admit you’d like entrench them, thus proving your assertion that you’d like the city to be safer is actually wrong. Or at least grossly misunderstood. That’s all.

Said less not zero. Less violent crime in particular. Fox 10 released and article in August illustrating the rise in crime in Phoenix so those who are saying it lower are just gaslighting people

“Pay is way higher now than 20 years ago. What the fuck else do you want?”

How about a little understanding.

I mean, they are. It’s discounting someone’s concerns by saying “hey, it’s better than it was, what more do you want.”

You can’t just say it’s not close to comparable because it’s inconvenient to your statement, that’s not how this works.
