POLICE WERE BEING CROOKED COPS.THEY WERE ENGAGING WITH THE ACTIVITY THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO STOP, SUCH AS STEALING, SELLING DRUGS, AND HAVING OTHER GUYS PAYING THEM.THIS WAS GOING ON IN PLACES LIKE WASHINGTON, ATLANTA AND DETROIT.IT STILL GOES ON IN MANY OTHER TOWNS, STATES, AND IN YOUR LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
Police corruption affects everyone everywhere/ Police corruption rose when the cocaine trade rose.
The FBI found out that around half of the police corruption cases involved drugs.
This topic interests me because a month ago a friend of mine passed away because of the police. His name is DeOnte Rawling also known as Lip. He was nothing but 14 years old and the police knew that he was just a little boy so they shouldn’t have done that. Now that shows me that anything could happen to anyone that you love so fast. To this day it hurts because we were so close to me, and he was so young. So if you are a parent and you are reading this talk to your kid about things that are happening out here and stop them from the negative things that they do and have something positive for them to do. Just like that happened to my friend it could happen to anybody love your child to the fullest and love your parent to the fullest.

people with AIDS are still people
By derran
The highest AIDS rate in the country is in DC. Over 10,000 people have AIDS in DC. We can meet people with AIDS, but that doesn't mean you have to get AIDS. You can only get AIDS by having unprotected sex, blood, like from needles, and from breast milk of people infected with AIDS. You can hug, kiss, and be near people with AIDS and you won't get it. People are mean to people with AIDS, but you don't have to be that way. I think you can help them with their needs, with food, going somewhere for them, and you can take care of them when they are sick.

Smoking
Smoking is bad!!!
About 1 of 3 Americans use weed! In a lifetime, Americans in general have been smoking weed a lot more since 1994 through 1999. In particular, young people smoke a lot. Though the percentage of 10th graders who have smoked marijuana in their life has fallen from 40.3% in 2000 to 34.1% in 2005, this level is still too high. We need to do something about these high numbers.

air pollution

I think that D.C. is the smelliest place on earth because dc has more pollution than 5 of the countries in Europe. Where does all of the pollution come from? I think that dc pollution comes from the citizens of dc.

I think its cool that there are super trees because they suck up and destroy toxic chemicals. Super trees are cleaning the air.

Pollution kills people because of air that is polluted. Bad air causes over 250 deaths per year.

Things about Cocaine
In Washington D.C Crack Cocaine is one of the main killers.Alot of people who use this drug do not know the consequence of the drug. Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant drug. Cocaine is a very inconsistent drug and many people can die by using the same or lower dose as before. Cocaine deaths are often a result of cardiac arrest or seizure followed by a respiratory arrest. I think that people should use this drug should go a read about it before they continue to use this drug.

the anacostia river
The Anacostia River is very polluted and nasty because of negligence.
Between 75 and 90 percent of the Anacostia river is mostly polluted because of storm water and street runoffs.
The water also change colors during times and its chloroform it make the water turn green.
The Anacostia River stretches from Maryland to Washington so it’s a really bad problem for a lot of people.
The Anacostia watershed society announced they were going to sue Washington water and sewer authority in 2004.
Extra Question: Did you know that you can not eat the fish out the Anacostia River?

HIV/AIDS: City Epidemic
The HIV/AIDS rate in Washington, DC is one of the worst in the United States. An estimated one in 20 city residents is infected with the virus. This makes HIV/AIDS one of the most severe health problems facing Washington DC. The Virus does not only affect older residents, however. According to the DC Department of Health, there are between 1000 and 1500 young people under 20 infected with HIV, and most of those youth don’t even know their status. Additionally, youth under 25 are the fastest growing population affected by HIV. This is a serious problem! Youth need to be educated about HIV/AIDS and how to address these issues. I think schools should take a more active role in educating teens about HIV and AIDS. Maybe better education will help protect DC youth from HIV.
African American residents of Washington DC are also highly affected by this epidemic. According to the Washington Post, while African Americans made up 61% of the DC population in 2003, they made up nearly 80% of all new AIDS cases. That proportion is out of balance with reality. We need to take action. I think the DC government should take a new and active role in future HIV prevention in the District. This issue needs to become a central focus of the DC government.
