Time to Take the Kids Gloves Off

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

There are two more stories of violence in Indianapolis this morning.  One involved the shooting of a man at 38th Moeller Road, the second was a shooting last night outside the Walker Theatre.

Frankly, I’m getting a little tired of  reading or watching another story about violence in this community.   And while I’m all for crime prevention, I’m falling back into my old belief that what this town needs are a couple good police beatings.

I don’t want anybody killed or put into a coma,  but I honestly think that a clear message needs to be sent that crime won’t be tolerated and if these knuckleheads even dream about pulling out a gun on someone or committing an act of violence, they’ll will wake up and apologize.

Of course this is also based on weeding out the bad cops, which makes me wonder who was responsible for hiring our latest round of bad actors?
