Good stuff. I remember when some folks got a hoop and put it up at Benedict so the kids had something to do, they would be out there balling, having fun, no problems, then clown DPD came and threatened them about the hoop and ultimately either took it or made them take it down. People shouldn't police communities they don't live in. Just speaks to the bigger picture and history of harassment and misguided policing of the greater five points area.
I was mad about that hoop. It made it's way around the park, until it finally made it into the park. Placed on a concrete slab like it belonged there perfectly. Bothering no one. Used by the kids and the winos... smh
