I am a life long black Columbian who has seen the good and also the ugly about Columbia over the years. Decent people no matter the color of your skin are afraid to go downtown or the business loop because of crime,aggressive vagrants and dope addicts. Mr Choi at least seems to care.

Speak for yourself, as a dark brown skin man I have no problem walking around Columbia Missouri whether it's daylight or night time. I mind my own business and I never ever see any trouble except pigs AKA cops trying to find trouble. If I do see trouble it's usually these drunk college kids downtown

So called city leaders can pretend there is no problem but the facts speak for themselves. There is a public safety issue downtown and it is being caused by a very small segment of the population who the liberal leaders like to pander to.

I think city leaders are trying but not hard enough. I think that % of crime may be going down. But regardless crime is unacceptable in is present state. Our city now has the money to do something serious to stop crime. But it cannot be same old same old and it must include the court system.

Mr. Choi has greater skills than Columbia's government when it comes to solving problems.

He doesn't do nuisance. Just blusters half truths and demands. His fiefdom isn't a democracy, and he doesn't care about our local democratic system or seem to acknowledge that it is a slower process than we would all like. Democracy is for long term stability. Dictatorships are quick but ugly.

Because people in those positions that are not from the same environments and who don't personally interact to learn to understand the deep rooted trauma and dysfunction, that comes with an oppressed race, has no room in my opinion to judge those he's not willing to personally help with personal inv

I don't know what Choi's angle is, but he should focus on running the UM system into the ground.

Because a lot of the people that are complaining about the crime downtown are only watching what the media is putting out there. They're not actually going downtown walking around downtown seeing there's little to no crime. It's all projection. And when there is trouble it's usually the college kids
