Violent crime doesn't worry me. Trump is just mad he has to see homeless people.

In my daily life, the types of crime I'm concerned about are scams, fraud, cybercrime and hate crimes. We live in a pretty safe town. We are a beach community of about 100,000 people. Does that mean I would let my 15-year-old walk home at night by themselves? No. Would I not lock my doors and my vehicle? No. It is just common sense. Despite President Donald Trump saying his actions were meant to "rescue our nation's capital from crime," I don't think violent crime in Washington, DC, is as big of an issue as he's making it. As for Trump specifically, I don't think a convicted felon should be president. What type of crime concerns you? Share your thoughts here. | Opinion Forum Another view: Trump's order on homelessness is more humane than failed liberal policies | Opinion I don't live in Washington, so I can't say how residents feel about their safety. I would imagine that it's got more crime than my community simply for the size of it and the fact that so many people come and go, but I honestly don't think it's bedlam and mayhem in the streets. Trump is just mad because he sees homeless people on his way to the golf course. If he truly cared about homelessness and bedlam in the streets, he would be funding housing and programs to help with addiction and mental health – not bringing in the National Guard and relocating unhoused people. I'm not worried about violent crime in America. You just have to know your surroundings and use common sense. — Martha Payne, Ventura, California This piece was submitted as part of USA TODAY's Forum, a new space for conversation.

Police release image of car they want to trace after man is shot dead near petrol station

Police have released an image of a car they want to trace after a man was shot dead near a petrol station in West Yorkshire. Officers received a report at 9:43pm on Tuesday that a man had been seriously injured after a shot was fired from a car on Doncaster Road near the BP petrol station in Wakefield. The victim was taken to hospital where he died from his injuries. Police said he is understood to be a 50-year-old man who was living in the local area. A murder investigation has been launched and the victim's immediate family are being supported by specially-trained officers. The force said it believes the vehicle used in the offence was "on false plates" and was stolen in a burglary in Castleford, West Yorkshire, on 3 August. Police believe the car is a blue/grey-coloured Toyota RAV4 with a grey trim, displaying cloned plates FV53 FXT. The vehicle is described as being "distinctive due to having bull lights on the roof above the windshield". Anyone who may have seen the car following the suspected burglary or around the time of the shooting has been asked to contact the force. Police said the car may now have different number plates. Read more from Sky News: Detective Chief Inspector James Entwistle, of West Yorkshire Police's homicide and major inquiry team, said: "A man has lost his life, and it is an absolute priority for us to understand the circumstances of what has taken place and identify anyone who has had any involvement in this incident." He added: "Motorists who were in the Doncaster Road area last night who have dashcams fitted are also asked to check whether they have captured any footage of this vehicle. "The driver was driving in the direction of Wakefield before they have turned around near the BP petrol station immediately prior to the shooting and then driven off in the direction they came from." DCI Entwistle said the force is "dedicating significant resources" to the investigation and there is an increased police presence in the area to "provide reassurance to the community".
