Good morning, readers.

I hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving last week, and a very happy
first night of Hanukkah last night, too.

The biggest news from this weekend, of course, was that a shooting took
place at the Streets of Southpoint Mall
<https://indyweek.lt.acemlnb.com/Prod/link-tracker?redirectUrl=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&sig=6BtzKzrnnV4aHtKkX7awoAcekhFNAcrTQpgkFsZHR9C4&iat=1638189179&a=%7C%7C224455823%7C%7C&account=indyweek%2Eactivehosted%2Ecom&email=AdIZuzBiE%2FjyCn%2Fa5pjTCPlMy%2BOWWuyaZunZiCXh6gI%3D&s=259a19f62aac02783a5a6275a2fbfb02&i=624A630A1A22620>
during the busy Black Friday shopping hours. From what we know now, three
people, including a 10-year-old hit by a ricocheting bullet, were injured
in the shooting; three others were injured while trying to evacuate the
mall.

Durham police chief Patrice Andrews said the shooting occurred between "two
groups that knew each other"—you don't have to read much between the lines
to pick up that the inference here that it was likely gang-related. One
person has been arrested and investigators are looking for more people
involved, Andrews said. While one person who was shot remains in critical
condition, none of the injuries are thought to be life threatening.

There have been more than 200 shootings in Durham this year

according to police, with more than 40 people killed and dozens more
wounded. As the police chief said Friday, "shootings in this city have got
to stop."

Inevitably, an incident like this is going to turn the conversation back to
policing in Durham and how to address gun and other violent crime that has
been rising in the Bull City, and nationally, since at least the onset of
the pandemic.

There seem to be two schools of thought on policing locally, and while
they've been positioned as being competing, I don't think they should be.

The first is whether or not the police should be "defunded," a misnomer,
first of all, because no one is reasonably suggesting eliminating a police
force, but referring more to reallocating police resources in order to
achieve better outcomes for the community.

Durham has not in any sense "defunded" the police but has taken a step in
the direction of police reform by creating the Community Safety Department

the CSD is seeking social workers, peer support specialists, licensed
clinicians, counselors, health workers, mental health professionals, and
paramedics.

The newly elected Durham City Council will, ultimately, sign off on the CSD
before it's expected to be operational next year. There has been speculation

that Durham's Mayor-elect Elaine O'Neal and some other council members
won't support the CSD, but that seems misplaced to me.

But O'Neal does have her own vision for reform (really, societal reform at
large) that starts with strengthening communities, beginning with
implementing actionable items from the racial equity plan

that she led. By addressing inequities in housing, health care, education
and other areas, the thinking goes, young people who may otherwise turn to
crime will have more opportunities to be productive, engaged residents.

To me, implementing the Community Safety Department and the recommendations
from the Racial Equity task force are two crucial ways to address the same
problem—that of violence, whether it comes from residents or from police
officers themselves.

A high-profile shooting in a crowded public mall—an incident that made
national news—makes me think we should try everything we can to address the
issues of gun violence (since we've all but given up trying to address the
issue of guns—or it's been rendered impossible, either way).

There's no reason why police reform and structural reform shouldn't be
practiced in lockstep. One doesn't have to cancel the other. It doesn't
have to be either or. Because in the end, it really looks like we're going
to need to try everything to address what has been, for a while now, an
escalating problem.

Thanks for reading. Have a great week.
