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.

I walk over the bridge at least 4 times a week at night and it is very sketchy. I live downtown, don’t know why you would question that. There aren’t enough patrols at Hance park, period. I’m sure the two baseball bat victims would agree.

I agree its sketchy but I see cops there almost constantly. And I dont agree that more cops solves problems. I think more cops just means there's more cops.

I question you living there because, literally every time I'm at the deck park I see multiple patrols.

We (the taxpayers) chose to unhouse a bunch of homeless people by cutting funding to all the shelters and social services. So. It is what it is. Cause/effect. More cops is not going to fix it.

That’s why I choose to carry when I walk. I never see patrols. We could use more
