Do you the police should stop policing the ghettos and instead focus on Appalachia for instance? Lol
Do you know what would happen in Gary or Newark then? Let me give you a hint, black-on-black violence is one of the biggest crime problems this country ever faced....

I can't believe this absurdity.

Have you ever been to parts of Appalachia?? They'll kill you over there just as fast as they'll kill ya in some western parts of the states. Parts of Appalachia and other rural/small towns in America have posted some of the highest murder rates in the country in the past. I know because that's more my neck of the woods.


Black on black violence now is no worse than Italian on Italian violence back during alcohol Prohibition. Or what was going on in some rural areas involved in the alcohol trade. Different illegal market, same lack of opportunity, etc.

You've heard of "Gangster" City right?

But we are not in Prohibition times, are we? You should be greatful that taxpayers send cops to the ghettos, if cops would ever pull out, the ghetto would be awash in blood.

We are most definitely in Prohibition times Einstein. Wake up.


You'd probably like the "ghettos awash in blood" wouldn't you? Why should I even think you care about the issue when all you spout is racist babble.

Need to end the drug war. Yes, the drug war is the new prohibition and it is doing to impoverished communities the same thing alcohol prohibition did. Ending the drug war would greatly reduce the violence and allow the cops to focus on real criminals.

Oh, you mean drugs. Sure you'd love to get drugs legalized. Hopefully that will never happen.

Yes. Everybody is racist: cops, judges, even those who are black themselves. It's the racist system that's the problem. Racism is the reason Black are killing Blacks in Cabrini Green or Westlawn.
Do you really believe that? Lol

Sharing this link because it highlights some of the intrusive and criminal actions that some officers engage in, in an attempt to get convictions. Not only were these American's rights violated, but in one instance, the dash cam shows an officer planting a bag of marijuana on a man.


In situations that extreme, the officer deserves the maximum sentence allowed for the offense he was trying to entrap the citizen with.

I've tried to make this connection so many times for people, but racist minds don't want to hear it.

The government is not motivated to end the drug war when the victims are mainly black/brown.

And when they're making a ton of money from it.

They lock up the black and brown kids for it after selling it to the big time pushers. Same as in back in the day. The Drug War is when our incarceration rates started to sky rocket and we became the world's incarceration leader. Incarcerating 25% of the world's prison population.
