Really frustrating. Two different nights in a row with two different store clerks, guests allowed in Circle K on E 3rd near Park Ridge East Park without masks. Nothing said to them and they were close distance to others. Please someone give this store a call and let them know of requirement.
BLM murals should not be painted on roads or buildings or anywhere else. If you insist on this ridiculous waste of time and money, THEN WE WANT AN ALL LIVES MATTER MURAL. Mr Hamilton you are not fit to be in public office with your communist ways. NO BLM GRAFITTI !!!!!!!!!
You just don't get it. It's not about having a "better" police nationally credentialed by a profession steeped in oppression. You don't get praise for being the top 5 percent of oppressive militarized domestic forces. Are functions of an armed police force necessary unfortunately in present day United States, yes. But should they be LEADING public safety? Absolutely not. Change starts at the top and a public safety chief, perhaps of a law background or social work or public health, not police, needs to be in charge. Social workers and resource officers are seen as LESS THAN by police, as an ACCESSORY to a primary police force. That needs flipped. We need management, particularly a chief, as a social worker for instance. Social workers know when to call on police. Police can be an ACCESSORY to social work. That's the change that is needed. Policing must become the SECONDARY profession and presence when it comes to making sure we are a safe community. Social work and related can be 24 hours just the same as police; ask a foster care case manager. This is solvable! Change the system. The expertise in the community is there.
I just read a thing the Mayor Hamilton put out about sustainability and residents and low-income people. Bloomington has the highest rent in the state. I guess my question is, don't you see you and the city council are creating it. These new apartment buildings getting put up for the students is the problem. All of these high dollar apartments with the super high rent, hell it takes multiple people to live there so a 1,000 to $ 3,000 rent can be paid one person can't to it nobody has a incentive to do low-cost housing or not tear down low-cost housing, so high-rise expensive apartments can be put up. I just don't understand you guys are the problem you keep letting this happen year after year you look downtown all them high-end apartments that you already know a local can't pay for. It seems to me you guys just let him do it and then return you know bribery is alive and well they donate money to the city's funds so sustainability fund. Please please deny this Tell me that it's not happening that I read everyday or every other week on the newspaper
SE stairwell is constantly dirty same pair of boots and other homeless belongings have been there for at least a week. Also constant drug use here. Finding lots of needle caps. Before long it will be just as gross as before it got fixed up
Police should wear masks, period. They are not above the law. And should know it helps. While they are at it, how about they actually enforce masks on out of town protesters who don't believe in them. Would be nice if the Mayor was in control of the officers and not the other way around.
We are appalled that the bloomington police dept is not wearing masks and one officer said he didnt like it so he wasnt wearing one. We sent our students to school last week and they are following the rules wearing masks, social distancing and not gathering in large groups. They have been informed by IU they could get suspended etc by not following these rules. How can law enforcement not do the same, its setting a horrible example and I'm appalled nothing is being done about it. Masks are mandated in Monroe County those officers not wearing them should be dealt with just like our students if they dont follow the rules. We as parents expect this to be handle immediately
