Back in the good ole days biggest problem was the Aroma of Tacoma.

Isn’t that tacoma pd jurisdiction south tacoma way

I love Tacoma. Folks can post their simplistic knee jerk reactions as to why they think crime IS UP ACROSS THE NATION but maybe ask an actual criminologist. (And if you prefer knee jerk remember this all started in 2020 under Trump)

Cops are refusing to do anything about it until the November elections. They want Republicans in office and this is their way of trying to facilitate that.

Vote out the far-lefts now!

Give drug addicts free comfy shelter, food and drugs! BUT make sure they are required to stay in a place FAR AWAY from neighborhoods, cities and towns and keep them away so they won’t bring everyone down with them. (Exceptions to ppl open to rehab)

It’s toooo much… this is not a war zone… but it is… i feel like stray bullets can hit me anytime im in tacoma. People here better have protection…

Tacoma has always been WA’s most violent city. People live there because they can’t afford to live other places. They don’t need more police they need an economic recovery plan.

drewnp97 Luckily come July we are all safer now that the magazine ban will take affect. Now the criminals can only rob you with 10 bullets in their mag,cause criminals listen to laws & the law abiding gunowner who actually listens to laws have less ammo to defend themself. Ty gov Inslee.

Best birria tacos in South Tacoma...

You dumb peasants don't understand! They banned assault capacity clippazine-o-mags and Phantom space zombie undead ghost guns! Everything is solved now! /s

Well folks, elections matter

Don’t fret any. The king signed several gun control bulls today to stifle the law abiding. That will very quickly fix everything.

City leaders don't care

Vote. Out. Liberal. Democrats.

18 months…..hmmm, when was it that liberal democrat Woodards4Tacoma condemned the police?
