>Volunteer-based programs run by the city tend to misallocate funds away from achieving goals.

Is this just a generalization or do you work in nonprofit leadership? I've been happy with every volunteer org I've worked with in the city, even if budgeting is a pain in the ass.

>ignores that shootings are so brazen that the perps ignore all bystanders.

And it could acknowledge it by doing what? I don't disagree that this is an issue, but any organization trying to do anything has to react. It can't control the time and place of unpredictable violence, nothing can.

I think it's worth doing something about. I'll support them.
