Students that aren't local enough go to the colleges in Columbia and not everyone isthinking safety matters. Good for him to have said something

The facts speak for themselves. How many people need to be shot downtown before city leaders admit there is a problem? The real problem is not geography but the people who go to the establishments there. Stay away from groups of dangerous people, wink wink, you know who they are.

I strongly believe that the "townie vs. students" tension is mostly contrived and Mun Choi is milking it for attention & money. While violence in Columbia IS a problem, it's citywide, not just centered on Reign Bar, a place where "those people (wink, wink)" tend to gather, which seems racist to me.

As long as the data is only used by police for a short time and then destroyed, that would be OK. I don't trust the private companies that collect the data to destroy the data like they claim. I don't want to be tracked everywhere I go. Columbia needs to fight crime a different way.

Data shows that flock cameras do not prevent crimes and that the impact on solving crimes is minimal for the expense and invasion of privacy. Additionally, they breed lazy policing. Ditch the flock and hire more cops instead.

Many crimes, including murders and kidnappings, have been solved using Flock cameras. They are a tool that law enforcement needs.

The new maps favor the republican party & eliminate the voices of many voters. That is not fair to Missouri voters.
