There were only countless headlines and a feature length movie about the problem. But sure, let's put a national spotlight on it.

No, they only talked about the problems when they wanted to push gun control, not help the inner city.

There is. I've seen it live on TV. Pigs in a blanket fry em like bacon. Dallas ambush among others. The war on cops has killed their morale. Now they just do their job and nothing more.

Taking guns away from inner city would not help with the violence?!

Besides, you're wrong. There have been many solutions proposed/implemented from education to outreach programs.

And some of them will sing once they are looking at 20 years. Organized crime is nothing new to the feds. Send in the FBI, send in the marshals.

Exactly. The only thing that works is separating the undesirables from society. Rehabilitation is a failed idea.

Funny. I listened to Trump for over a year calling Hillary Clinton a racist because of her "superpredator" comment from 20 years ago, when she supported her husband's Crime Bill that dramatically lowered the crime rate for over 2 decades. It had bipartisan support and the backing of many Black leaders. It unfortunately resulted in mass incarceration.

Like Trump or not, he uses social media very well.
So you never knew anything about all the murders in Chicago before Trump was inaugurated? Have you been traveling abroad or perhaps in a different galaxy?

No, there is not.

Maybe the snowflakes need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps, do their job, and do it without breaking the same laws they are there to enforce.
