Community members listen as City Council District 4 member Carolyn King Arnold leads the district 4 public safety community engagement meeting on Thursday, April 18, 2024, at Paul Laurence Dunbar Lancaster-Kiest Branch Library in Dallas.in the first quarter of 2024. That’s down 27.6% from the same period last year. But Arnold, repeating a sentiment frequently shared by police officials, told her constituents even one life is too many.
The community has to make a decision, she emphasized, about whether it cares enough to be vested in the situation. Either residents want to work in tandem and be safe, or they don’t, she said. Luther Young, 56, recalled a time during his childhood in Dallas when he was able to release his energy by playing sports and practicing karate. He’d go to the gym every day for free.Now, Young said, he can’t go to recreation centers because they require costly memberships. Students don’t have many aftercare programs after school, either, he added.
Stacey Kelley, 51, said community members have a bond that can go further than police and politicians.
