"Community Matters" - Special Edition - 1396

"Community Matters" - SPECIAL EDITION - "Red, White and BLUE Lives Matter" - Bill Murray, our host, is the well-respected community voice of public safety, violence prevention and a leader in crime fighting and anti-child abuse efforts. His significant circle of influence includes his work as the founder of both LA Community Policing (LACP.org) and the National Association of Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (NAASCA.org). "The recent violence we've seen in Dallas and elsewhere were likely disturbances that began 20 years ago," says Bill, "when the young men involved were subjected to the stresses of traumas in their early lives." But he believes these are NOT issues that effect any specific demographic, but ALL members of the community, and it will also take all members of the community, recognizing our similarities more than our differences, to effect change now that will result in a better America 20 years from now. Most noticeably Bill wants to point out that these are not issues of BLACK, BROWN and WHITE. To say otherwise is profiling and prejudice, no matter what color skin one has. "Where is the UNITY in 'community' these days?," Bill asks. "Unless we can learn to set aside our differences and start paying attention to how shockingly similar our experiences, feelings and actions are we'll not make progress."
