Gang Bust Could Aid Troubled Area of Brooklyn

Some of these guys involved do not even associate with each other! So it seems like every young, Black, male that happens to live in the same area or hang out together are in a gang. If these so called "gang bangers" and "drug dealers" selling drugs and commiting murders, show me the money! Where are the cars? The houses? The lavish gifts and bank accounts? And also, some of these people that are wrongfully arrested have familes. What about their kids and families? Who are going to raise there kids? Another single mother raising her kids, maybe depending on welfare. Now your tax payer dollers are taking care of their kids. There cognitive, physical and emotional well being are at stake! Which is more important a child's life and happiness or making your monthly quota. As a result, of an absent father and income these familes (parents and children) might resort to illegal behaviors to fill in that void (the father and income). This is just adding on a continuing destructive cycle. I love the law but, jail is NOT the only answer; build more Recreation centers, create more jobs, get involove in the community! I am aware of who is reading this but not all people are bad. Those that do commit crimes should be presectued, but weight the crime to the punishment. All I am asking of the people, FBI, and everyone who is involved in this case, to just think carefully and be sure that your facts are facts. "When you are in the dessert and you think you see a glass of water, be sure you go up and feel the glass, before you drink the sand." This whole investigation is breaking my heart, but I leave it up to God and prayer.
