I hope they don’t move to Indianapolis. Homicide investigations in that city “are up more than 32% in 2020 compared to last year.”
Record wave of deadly shootings hits US cities. More police aren't the answer, activists say

A good balanced article, including insights and recommendations from both the police and activists that have been working to address the violent crime problem in their communities.
