    I am so proud of this young man and so proud of Ty Dennis and his community oriented program “Clippers and Cops”. From the moment I attended my very first Clippers and Cops event and saw Ty talk, I felt joy in my spirit. I knew it would be big. That was over 4 years ago. What a blessing! Hats off to everyone making a difference!
  • So glad he got a second chance… well deserved ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🎉

    This is a Clear example of “WE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, WHAT IS THE SOLUTION(S)??? Ty Dennis and crew has shown True Leadership in addressing, creating, and implementing meaningful solutions and need dialogue to address the misunderstandings on issues that not only effect a Community, but indirectly effects a entire State. Excellent Job!!!
  • I’m so proud of the work Cops and Clippers are doing! Congratulations to you and your fabulous team!

    I've never heard of this but that moved me and that's what we need in every neighborhood that's battling the drug epidemic and everything else that's destroying people's lives . It's not just the younger generation because I'm 58 years old and done my share of drugs and drinking but never did get into the stealing or anything else like that but that don't make me one bit better than any of these people . I would think that if something like this had been around when I was growing up It might have changed my life or helped many of my friends that's not around anymore and the majority of those are Overdose casualties.
  • This will only work long-term unless the father is allowed to return to the inner city black home.
