During his syndicated talk show aired on Friday, Cable Radio Network's popular conservative radio host Chuck Wilder informed the Conservative Base's editor that President Barack Obama released his new strategy to thwart the nation's rising number of violent crimes: Have police officers drive ice cream trucks in high-crime, minority neighborhoods and offer street thugs free ice cream cones.
On Tuesday, President Barack Obama spoke to members of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) - an organization that represents police commanding officers from numerous nations - during a conference in Chicago and advised the audience that law enforcement should âde-escalate encounters with suspects and find alternatives to arrest,â Wilder read from a news story published in Investor's Business Daily.

Let the thugs know you are coming when you are still blocks away by playing loud music.
Yeah good plan....glad I’m not a cop.
This must be a parody. I swear I must have seen this in a Dave Chappelle skit a while back.
“Let the thugs know you are coming when you are still blocks away by playing loud music.”

"Boston Police Commissioner William Evans says, "I think we're the only police department in the country with an ice cream truck and I can't say enough good things about it. When the truck shows up, the kids love it and our officers love it too because it gives them a platform and an opportunity to engage and interact with our city's young people in a positive, friendly, productive way.""

More free stuff!!! But only for the thugs. What could go wrong?
Moosechelle wanted salad bar trucks. With milkshakes.
See #28.
To protect and to (soft) serve.
Thank you.

It is mentioned, but the lead article/source does somewhat misrepresent the point. One police department does report good community relations by literally operating an ice cream truck. They’re not out to convert hardened thugs, but are trying to soften their reputation among kids in the neighborhood.
I do think the real point is that the top government agency overseeing police is spending meaningful time talking about portraying a soft friendly image, when seems they’re undercutting hardcore police work elsewhere and completely ignoring the statistical realities of murders in this country.
NO ONE can be this buck-stupid.
“Obama unveils anti-crime plan: Cops drive ice cream trucks in black neighborhoods”
Be suspicious of this headline since it seems to be based only on the claim of a radio show host. The only reference I can find that deals with ice cream is on page 17 of the PDF link in post #4. That reference only notes that one dept uses an ice cream truck to improve relations with kids in high crime areas, it is not a recommendation to give ice cream to drug dealers.
I have noticed that it is not uncommon for people to write inflammatory headlines which are not supported by the facts in the article.
In my old Jersey ‘hood, the cops discovered the ice cream trucks were really drug delivery trucks too. Convenience for the drug gangs and all...
