Editor's note: This piece was originally posted on Michael Davis' blog, Dallas Progress, on Friday, Nov. 2.
You may have heard that Pastor Rickie Rush and the Inspiring Body of Christ Church have started a 24-7 crime watch in SW Oak Cliff.
I just saw Pastor Rickie Rush out with 40-50 cars with patrol lights. His IBOC COPS (Citizens on Patrol Seriously) squad is on the case. They were driving around near 67 & Red Bird, going through the shopping centers and rolling deep!
I heard they were starting up soon but to see the sight of brothers willing to take a stand in their community touched me deeply. We really need it. Crime is up rampant in our apartment complexes.
We rolled down windows for a sec at a red light and he told me and my wife,"we're going to break up a football fight"
THAT'S what I'm talking about! People having events touch them in special ways to do God's work. I had to let him know that we're rooting for him and his squad to succeed. Many churches in the SW Oak Cliff are being moved to do positive things.
I feel a little bit safer tonight.
