Very diverse population but a lot of poverty and a history of systemic racism, plus a growing gang problem due to the opioid trade. Makes for a constant background noise of violence that the powers that be aren’t overly concerned with since it is all taking place in the “wrong side of town.”

The demonstrations triggered by George Floyd’s killing are sparking some good conversations, which hopefully will lead to much needed changes.
