In a hypothetical 2024 Presidential matchup, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis narrowly leads Vice President Kamala Harris by three points. DeSantis garnered 42 percent of the vote to Harris’ 39 percent, in the recent poll from Harvard/Harris. In previous months by the same polling group, Harris maintained a lead, but DeSantis’ recent momentum from the 2022 Midterms seems to have reflected a slight shift in his favor.

I wish the Commissioners and the CPRB would consider that maybe there were 100 shootings because people are not afraid of the police. Maybe, the shooters also do not fear the adverse consequences of their actions; maybe they assume there will be no adverse consequences of their actions.
I think they should also look into how many of the 100 shootings were the result of excessive force by the police. They should have and keep these statistics on hand at their meetings.
WoooHooo! Congratulations Tallahassee! We have hit the ever-so coveted benchmark of 100 shootings this year so far. Come on kids, we can do better than Chicago. Don’t make us spend another $5-million in tax dollars chasing down those pesky guns that sneak out at night and run around shooting up the place on their own.
Remember… Vote Marxicrat; Vote Crime… Chicago is Goal !!!
