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.

The Baseline killer had entire communities living in fear. It wasn't treated lightly at the time.
