Sounds shady. Kid walked across the street to make a phone call? He probably was meeting his dealer and got rolled by him and his mud duck friend.
Some good news, but lets ask why. 2014 had the fewest murders since 1965. Great news. However, shootings are up. More shootings and fewer deaths? Mmmmm? Well, for one medical treatment has improved dramatically in the ER so that accounts for some of it. That's a good thing. Annnnd more thugs are arrested and locked up. Fewer thugs on the street mean less killing. Police getting tougher on thugs. Ooooo. That's problematic for the race hustlers. They don't like it when thugs get locked up. Call it the new Jim Crow. Riot in the street when a thug gets taken out by a cop. Seems if you want safer neighborhoods you have to get tough on the thugs. Seems like common sense. Just some food for thought as we enter another year of defending thugs, excusing criminal behavior and listening to the race huslters calling for kinder and gentler treatment of thugs. http://cltv.com/2015/01/01/chicago-crime-and-murders-at-historic-lows/
Well, it's not exactly a secret that PD's all across the country play "fast and loose" with the reporting of crime. So maybe you don't die from the bullet wound, you just wind up as one of several thousand that are permanently disabled both physically and mentally...to the CPD, "winning".
I'm taking you off ignore. Had you on ignore for several months as you just seemed to be one that likes being contrary for the sake of being contrary. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to assume that the way you read the post was that I was calling this action the new Jim Crow. That is not the case. The way it was written was referring to statements I have heard and read by the race hustlers that they call any hard line police effort to lock people up the new Jim Crow. It's their interpretation, not mine.
Perhaps you should have said "they" call it the new Jim Crow. Even so, that still leaves your characterization of the Michael Brown situation. Whether you ignore me or not is entirely up to you.
Michael Brown was a criminal. He was not an innocent victim. Fewer Michael Browns equal safer communities. You can't ask for safer communities and then defend the criminals that terrorize those very communities. You cannot demand better policing of those communities and then protest when the police take out a criminal in that community. Sends a mixed message. You either want a safer community or you don't. Safer communities mean the Michael Browns of the world end up dead in the street, or in a jail cell. That's a good thing and until the left gets it through their heads that it is a good thing the violence in those communities will continue. Frankly, it's what they want. Keeps the perpetual campaign issue on the table.
Just another day in the hood, little kid tears apart a dollar store, while mommy and daddy are nowhere to be found, probably at home passed out with a needle hanging out of her arm, i actually feel sorry for this kid, even though he needs a good kick in the ass, he is obviously screaming out for the attention that no one is giving him at home. The kid obviously isnt insane, when he threatens to hit the guy with the camera, and the guy with the camera responds "You hit me with that you are going to lose your life," The kid obviously knew better than too hit him. And why is it that when this shit happens in the hood no one in the entire store even thinks to stop the kid? Instead everyone just films his little tantrum. Also i will give 100 bucks to anyone who can tell me the language the person who is filming is speaking.
Which this time you manage to address without resorting to mentions of race or color, which is a step forward. It is not my task to evolve you. But you insist that because you are a "liberal", you are not a racist. This is not, however, the case. Granted you do not sink to the level of the rabids like der and max and club and todd and so forth. But you are a racist, nonetheless. There are, unfortunately, two types of liberals for this discussion. One is the liberal who takes the traditional view than it is up to the liberal to protect the rights of those who cannot do so themselves, hence the regulatory apparatus: clean air and water, airline and auto safety, safe foods (or at least safer than they would be otherwise), and so on. He believes that given a level playing field, the individual can take care of himself. But there is also the type of liberal who believes that it is the job of the liberal to "care for" the disadvantaged, the underprivileged, the whatever. This is essentially the same attitude adopted by many slave owners during plantation days, e.g., the "Dixiecrat". It is, however, racist, considering the cared-for to be deficient, defective, even subhuman (three-fifths of a white man). And it is due largely to the inclusion of both under the "liberal" label that has retarded our progress over the last fifty years. It is not the task of the non-bigoted to instruct the bigoted. However, it is incumbent upon those who do not view those of other colors or races or ethnicities as inferior to call out these prejudices when they see them rather than just "let them go", whether in serious discourse or in passive-aggressive cartoons and jokes. It is only by exposing this closet racism that there is any chance of improvement, as with the Jews in the 50s.
