I doubt there was any "community" demanding the cop be charged with murder. Maybe it was more like direct family members and their lawyer demanding the cop be charged after shooting the teenager in a stolen vehicle that then crashed into someone's house at a high rate of speed. Do you have any images of the "community" (not family members and their lawyer) demanding that particular DC Park police officer be charged with murder ??? wrbtrader
I grew up near Chicago for awhile...north side in suburb called Evanston. It's a wealthy neighborhood. Today, I own my parents home there (walking distance from Northwestern University) although my mom has been living for many years in a luxury skyrise in downtown Chicago. Yet, if I drive to the west side, you need to be careful, especially at night. Latin gangs and trouble makers that are not in gangs. The same in Chinatown but Asian gangs and trouble makers not in gangs. The same on the southside, Black gangs and trouble makers. I find it strange, Innervoice's constant ragging (ad nauseum) on Innercity Thugs when he often doesn't mention a specific neighborhood in a specific city other than New York / recently Miami. My point, the inner city phrase is meaningless in most cities without geographic identifications. For example, in Chicago...Trump tower and other luxury dwellings are in the middle of downtown Chicago (aka The Loop)...very close to the waterfront. It's a very expensive neighborhood to live in but you still need to be careful at night especially late at night. In contrast, most cities are known today for their crime...the crime is occurring in communities on the edge of the city. Yet, you still need to be careful at night even around the Trump tower because a troublemaker or gang member that's Asian, Latin, Italian, or Black can easily drive their car, take the Metra, take the L, take a Uber/Lyft to the area at/near Trump tower. I still remember the last time my mom went outside at night in her own neighborhood around 6:30pm est for her usual photography work of night time tourists although she stopped going down to the lower Wacker area within a few blocks from the Trump tower many years ago... She wasn't alone, my younger sibling was with her for a visit from out of town. He's an EMT in Kentucky. There was a shooting that they heard as they were walking past Wacker Drive. To her it sounded like fire crackers but my brother recognize it as gun shots. https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/loc...t-at-corner-of-wacker-and-wabash-cfd/2037480/ I've been trying very hard to get her to move back home to her house with live-in care. No luck because she loves the area near Trump tower (The Loop community) although I do not consider it as safe in comparison to Evanston or further North in the wealthier suburbs. On the flip side, the wealthy North suburbs have had a dramatic rise of confiscated guns from teenagers bringing guns to school...white kids. It's not an ethnicity problem, it is a generation problem and troublemakers have access to any community they want to go to by using cars/public transportation and then cause violence. wrbtrader
wrbTrader To answer your question, Blacks commit about 60% of all violent crime in America and yet they are only 14% of the population. The most dangerous and violent communities in America are black and a distant second would be hispanic. The issue is lack of family structire and discipline in the black community as well as “ the culture “. Its actually sad but “you can only bring a horse to the water, you cant make him drink it”. Whats worse are those that are doing the right thing are held back by those violent criminals and those that make the same excuses. As for Asians, they commit the least amount of violent crime. As far as Asian hate crimes? The majority of those attacking Asians are blacks. These are facts not my opinion. A person who claims to be insulted by facts lacks the desire to find solutions and it adds to the economic consequences already seen in those communities. Law enforcement needs to be much more present and much more proactive in those communities and restore law and order. Violent criminals need consequences. Only then can there be economic growth in those area’s.
Here's the correction about your typical racist theme: 1) There are violent cities and states that are run by Republican and Democratic. You're on record here at Elitetrader.com in stating to me in a reply that Republicans are excused because you linked it poorly to one ethnicity. It's the single reason why I post one of two violent crime statistics for states and cities depending upon which when you try to hide your racist bullshit threads in these trading-related threads (e.g. Economics) here at Elitetrader.com instead of creating the threads in the chit chat / political section because the solution you often seek... It's politically related because you eventually link it to Liberals as you've done every single time in the past. 2) You consistently talk about one ethnicity of Inner City thugs but you fail to mention the other ethnicity gangs under the facade of a reason that one ethnic group commits a majority of the crime as if it's the reason why you do not need to mention the other ethnic groups. For example, you started several threads in the past several months here in the Economics or Wall Street thread talking about your disgust of "black crime" (inner city thug) in New York and recently in Miami. Yet, you failed to mention three other similar violent crimes in New York or Miami that occurred either on the same day or the day before by other ethnicities as if they were excused. My point, the fact is that your posting history has been consistently about either Liberals & Blacks. You do not have the ability to acknowledge other ethnicity inner city thugs nor the Republican states/cities they reside within. Ad nauseum, your excuse has consistently been one race commits a majority of the violent crimes and that you do not need to mention the other races that commit the same or worst crimes even if they occur on the same damn day. Your statement (your words): A person who claims to be insulted by facts lacks the desire to find solutions and it adds to the economic consequences already seen in those communities. Law enforcement needs to be much more present and much more proactive in those communities and restore law and order. Violent criminals need consequences. Only then can there be economic growth in those area’s. That's you above. You do not have the ability to acknowledge that Republican states and Republican cities are in the top 10 of violent crimes. You do not have the ability to acknowledge that New York, Chicago, or wherever has gangs that are Asians, Italians, Hispanics, Russians... You only acknowledge Blacks because you're an ignorant racist. Further, you mention recently in several message posts that the solution was that Police should be given Batons to be used on those people. In addition, you LIED by stating that batons were no longer allowed in New York when in fact they only changed the type of baton being used. Solution: Violent Crimes will only be resolved if the solution applies to all...equally because it is a fact a generation problem and a solution that has not been applied fairly in urban communities since the great immigration days in the United States. When was immigration at its peak in the United States ? Between 1880 and 1930, more than 27 million immigrants arrived, mainly from Europe and Canada...mostly White. Remember the history lesson of the Gangs of New York and how they spread across America ? I once made a damn map for you of the same locations TODAY occupied by different ethnicity gangs. As the racist that you are...you only saw BLACKS while not acknowledging the other violent gang ethnicity groups via your racist excuse, that is a normal way how to view them because other ethnicity gangs do not commit as many violent crimes. Therefore, those other ethnic gangs that cause violent crimes too must have family structure and discipline...right ? Other ethnic gangs do not have family structure and discipline because a thug is a thug regardless the race/culture (Italian, Russian, Black, Japanese, Hispanic, Irish, German, or whatever). Answer (Solution): Whatever solution you can dream about...apply it to ALL ethnic gangs after acknowledging ALL ethnic gangs as a problem along with ending your racist excuse that you do not need to talk about the ethnicity of those other violent gangs and the Republican states/cities they are causing violent crimes. A thug is a thug regardless the race or gang. For the record: I became tired of the growing gun violence crime in America when I left the military. The facts do not insult me but they do concern me because the violent crimes were getting closer and closer to my community. I did not want any of my family members to become a victim even though I had no fear for myself because of my military background/training. Thus, my spouse and I made a decision to start our family in another country that's factually safer (less gun violence & less overall violent crime) than the United States. I've seen enough death and I'm not talking about it in the media/facebook/twitter/social media. I am talking about violent crimes with my own two eyes...close enough that I can still smell the discharge of a firearm while growing up and on University campuses...places of higher learning. It's sickening and I really only worry about it again whenever I return to visit the United States in 4 Republican states/cities I'm connected to and 1 Democratic state/city. In my opinion, Hollywood has a big fingerprint on the violent crime problem in America. Violent crime in America has been glamorized in movies, and news stories since the 1940s. It is still that way today as violent criminal psychotic behavior is looked at as if it is an occupation/job with benefits...glamorized. By the way, just in case you're curious... California, Nevada, Idaho, New Mexico, and Illinois have the most gang members for every 1,000 citizens of the state. Which ethnic gangs are committing the most violent crimes in Idaho...a Republican state and an economic disaster for the urban cities in Idaho ? It should be a big pill for you to swallow and will result in being excused by you because of your racist bullshit attitude. Further, you should notice that New York state, N.Y. city and Miami, Florida are not mentioned among the list of the most gang members per 1,000 citizens. Reminder: Ron DeSantis tough on crime policy in the state of Florida... Florida has slightly more violent crimes than New York (see image above) and has been that way for each year that DeSantis has been governor. That should be another concerning statistic that's problematic for you ? I have no associations to Florida but I do plan to vote for him if he runs for President in 2024 assuming he stops pretending his tough on crime policy is working better than New York and he's able to finish off Trump that others have had difficulty to do. Just as importantly, he's no threat to our military even though his tough policy on vaccines is a little hypocritical because he's vaccinated although not boosted. Politics is not pretty wrbtrader
WrbTrader You are creating diversions in order to take the eye off the ball. We arent talking politics and whether its republican or democrat, we are talking facts and economic policiy. Fact- Blacks are only 13-14% of the population and yet they commit almost 60% of all violent crime in Amerca. Fact- Black communities are the most dangerous in America. Fact- 94% of all blacks that are killed are actually killed by other blacks. Fact- most of the suspects that attack Asians are Black.
I assume someone has cut to the chase before but: Innervoice,if we made you King of America today,what would you do and what do you think your results would be by EOY 2023?
First- secure the border. Second- have an emergency meeting with senators and governors in each state and come up with a plan to significantly reduce violent crime. I would also build more prisons if needed. Third- i would not mention the words transgender, gender neutral, or binary ever….. Four- i would reduce the corporate tax rate. Five- i would impose work requirements for welfare. Six - I would have a national discussion on teen pregnancy and out of wedlock births. 7- I would make it a federal crime to steal a car and then use it for a violent crime. 8- i would not allow transgenders in the armed forces. 9- i would create a task force that would ensure fair and balanced news in google, twitter and facebook. 10. Ensure that china and other adversaries cannot purchase real estate in this country. I would do many other things.
Look at the title of your own thread. Do you see the word “blacks” in that title. Therefore, your title is exactly what you wrote but if you want to talk about blacks and not talk about the economic fallout from crime… This thread then needs to be in the Political or Chit Chat section with your other threads about similar topics. Simply, ET management is not blind about your thread topics and the location of your thread placement…reason why they get moved to the political section because you really want to talk about blacks and not about crime from ALL thugs from any ethnic group in America. wrbtrader
