- United States of America
I've decided to make a petition demanding a better handling in the situation with the youth violence in our neighborhoods. We do not need to get our rights taken away to solve a problem.
A new Program called the "SAFE HOMES INITIATIVE" was launched to help calm the violence and get the guns off the streets, yet i walk down my street and i see the same people doing the same thing, i look in the newspaper and another young man is shot, same ignorance. Where is the change?
We should be the ones making solutions, WE are the ones living in the HOOD!
We are asking Mayor Menino to develop some type of police monitoring to stop the racial profiling and harassment that we face everyday.
These detectives should not stop us for our color of our skin or for what we are wearing, they should be using EFFECTIVE TACTICS. Not all blacks and Latinos are criminals.
There are young youth trying to make a difference, who work everyday, go to school, and shouldn't be deserving this kind of treatment from these officers that we once called our heroes.
You can further help this campaign by sponsoring it
The ENDING POLICE HARRASMENT AGAINST YOUTH! petition to Mayor Menino & The Boston Police Department was written by CHECKO and is in the category Youth at GoPetition.
