GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Two new developments were revealed Tuesday as the city of Grand Rapids tries to rebound from a violent 2020.
Police are now patrolling neighborhoods differently and Grand Rapids city leaders are bringing in some outside to help reduce gun violence.
The city’s Office of Oversight and Public Accountability recommended Cure Violence. Founded in 2000 in Chicago by a former World Health Organization official, the group approaches violence in much the same way public health officials approach disease. It enlists members of the community to help develop and implement programs.
Cure Violence was chosen over two other crime reduction organizations.
“We compared what we thought was [sic] the best things for Grand Rapids, looking at what we heard from other communities, also looking at the basis of the program and how it would operate here in the city, and saw it as the best way to move forward,” said Brandon Davis, who heads Grand Rapids Office of Oversight and Accountability.
The city is still working out a contract with Cure Violence. Last year, the commission set aside up to $225,000 over the next 3 years for such a program.
GRA: We see how well Chicago is doing the last 20 years since Cure Violence started there. This is nothing but a gimmick—the best way to cure violence is to remove the cause of violence from neighborhoods—by bribing blacks to leave the city (chuckle), or making it known you don’t want them around through serious law enforcement. You definitely would not proceed with passing bills that memorialize black thuglets (Breonna Taylor), like the city commission did in Grand Rapids.
On the bribery idea, I wonder how much money it would take—per negro—to pay enough blacks to leave Grand Rapids? It would be worth it over the long haul.

N.S.: We’ve been bribing blacks to the tune of tens of trillions of dollars since 1965. How has that worked out?
This is merely yet another scam for picking the pockets of hard-working, law-abiding, White taxpayers.

As pathetic as it sounds, at least Grand Rapids is doing "something". Shootings and murders are up 150% in Portland and the liberal to the core City Counsel is doing absolutely nothing to address the problem. Unless wringing their hands, blaming Trump and calling for the defunding of police counts.
It used to be Benton Harbor MI the main trans-shipment point for cocaine for all of MI. Maybe Grand Rapids now. Jerry Ford we need you now.
