What’s going to happen is people of means (disproportionately white) will just hire private security. Poor people will be victims of crimes with no one to help them. Great plan, remember it was brought to you by Democrats.

Ironic that blacks will be the biggest victims. After the Michael Brown incident, homicide rates had huge spikes because police are standing down.

Think it through and see if you can come up with the answer on your own.



The answer is it's not gonna happen.

It's a political nonstarter and suicide for any politician that seriously makes it part of their platform.

Exactly what it says.

That Democrats are defined by the crazy, inane things that they advocate.....like this, reparations and banning cow farts, etc.

I personally think that even heavy policing doesn't stop criminals if you have a left leaning criminal justice system. How many times does a police have to re-arrest the same individuals because the prosecutors can't put the criminals away and they are usually let out within 24 hours and back to another crime. Even if places like NYC is housing released felons in hotels and giving them free cell phones and giftcards they are only temporary before they are back to crime.

Until the citizens revolt and vote out the politicians who only listen to the loudest voices and not the tax payers. Nothing will get better. Like usual the well to do will still live in the whitest and most privileged areas and leaving the downtown areas to become slums and crime ridden. That's how ghettos are formed.

I just don't know how we can handle all this MS13 crime under the current circumstances. You guys haven't forgotten about MS13 have you? They are animals!

I just saw this idiot on CNN Chris Cuomo’s show- backpedaling like you wouldn’t believe.
