All the shootings in Chicago & Baltimore, it's the Cops fault.....

[SEIndSAM]

Not my opinion, but that of the author of this New York Daily News article. You have got to read this....
You could not pay me enough to be a Chicago Cop, no way, no how...

Me neither. People don't get kill or shot but I've seen similar things happen at work. Actions have consequences. When you come down on the people you depend on to get the job done, sometimes they throw the bit rather than acquiescence.

So, the idea of a group of people, entrusted to serve and maintain the peace, are the reason for the violence in two of the absolute worst places on earth? Tell me more?

There is nobody at fault for this violence except the perpetrators themselves.

However, if the police are going to refuse to do their jobs (even for good reason) then they need to quit or their superiors need to fire them.

That was about the stupidest thing I have read so far this year.

1. Police officers need to chill and stay in their cars.

2. Police chill and stay in cars.

3. Racist white cops won't come into our neighborhoods and harass our young men.

Lived in Chicago. Wasn't in the stuff but I was close to the bear's cage.

The only thing that will help Chicago and Baltimore is to destroy the Welfare State that has wasted African-American culture there as no Klan grand dragon could--the absence of the work ethic and fathers, the absence of respect for life, and the evil that filled the voids that the government caused, the substitution of thuggery for family is such an outrage that one cannot talk about it without tears, rage or both.

Most eloquently put.

Here's the actual Five Thirty Eight report that garbage article was based on.

Gun Violence Spiked ? And Arrests Declined ? In Chicago Right After The Laquan McDonald Video Release | FiveThirtyEight

I'm sure you'll all be shocked to learn that it's a bit more nuisanced than just, cops hate black people.

I was just going to post that. It seems like cops don't like filling out paperwork (join the club) and really don't like filling out many pages of paperwork when it used to just be a 3x5 card.

PEOPLE ARE DYING IN CHICAGO AND BALTIMORE BECAUSE OF THE ACLU would be a much better (and somewhat more accurate) headline.

 

[Leadeye]

I'll make a guess and say that the bulk of the shootings and killings involve the lucrative drug trade in those two cities, and will continue to increase. Drugs Inc. is just another part of the new service economy.

Always follow the money

Typical example of a modern day douche nozzle "news" person.

That was a very interesting analysis of the data. I appreciate you posting this.

Maybe Shaun King (the author) should fix things. By becoming a police officer and showing us how it's done.

 

[poppy]

I pulled up the article to read and quickly checked the author of the article. Shaun King. That's all I needed to see. I did not read the article. King is another Rachel Dolezal, claiming he was of a certain race but was proven he was not of that certain race. He was in early with the BLM movement. If you are not familiar with him, Google his name. He was proven to be a liar and a cheat and, quite possibly, a thief.

I think Chicago cops have to live in the city if im not mistaken.

Yeah I thought that was the case. I know a bunch of cops live in certain neighborhoods on the edges of the city. But within city limits.

This is true. It's a common story for DuPage County residents, whom are CPD. Fact is, some of them move to a Chi-town address on a 6-month lease, and 4 months in..... move to Darien, or Bolingbrook, IL.
