Greatest idea I've heard in a long time:

Cops want you to stop crime by hanging out in sketchy areas

But since cops can’t be everywhere at once, the LAPD’s Pacific Division recently asked neighbors to chip in. The police department will post an updated map of suggested hangout spots every day using social media, sending cops to those areas when possible, but also relying on residents to jog or walk their dogs there.

Can you imagine if all the dicey areas in metros could be retaken and open back up to middle class people, running the gangs and psychos off the range?

Let's go America!
