st. louis county jumped by 82%. this really should be no surprise. this is what happens when a city puts these views of police as the problem into practice, views such as when a city determines that police are the cause of the violence as opposed to the grave defense against it, when a city justifies lawlessness stops law enforcement from doing their job and allows lawbreakers to go unpunished. well the results of those kinds of practices are that innocent members of those very communities pay a horrible price, and these tragic circumstances are now playing out in the city of baltimore. on april 18 of this year, many baltimore residents began peaceful protests over the injury and the eventual death of mr. freddie gray while he was in police custody. now, as i mentioned in my last speech about this last month in my view, freddie gray's death absolutely calls out for justice, calls out for a thorough investigation and the judicial process is now proceeding and playing out exactly as it should. but what's happened in baltimore since then is not about fr

st. louis city and the county, it is true across the country. what they are doing is important because we have to put it all together from coast-to-coast. just focusing here, i think there are a number of strategies that could be deployed, that would be self-help strategies community-based strategies neighborhoods, individual families, churches businesses, and the next step should be to look at what the contribution, everybody in the private sector, and the public sector, can make. and then put out what those contributions can be, and in lists people to start making them. for example, on early childhood. i am a big believer in programs -- they can start of his voluntary, or supported by various community organizations -- literally visiting the new mom, the new parents of every newborn. and beginning to build a relationship, and offering support. so many of these young parents don't have the families nearby. they don't always know everything they are supposed to know to take care of their babies. they don't have follow-up they are supposed to com
