This actually makes sense. But you left out the way the media and people publically cover all this. The case is pretty much made that the police are bad and not needed. Police bad and racist and the people they arrest and shoot are good and victims. And don't dare challenge that narrative. If all these black people actually do support the police and don't want the criminals taking over, they need to hit the streets and protest to keep the police and not defund them. They need to speak up to all the civil rights groups who are partially behind the propaganda. We don't see that though. When a black kills a black (which is the majority of killings) there is no outrage.

Once you are a criminal, you don't need a gun license anymore.
stop calling it a clip(s).
otherwise, I agree.

Have you ever traveled outside of the US? In my country In south America police are far more corrupt than anything I've seen here. You'd also be a victim of racial profiling far worse than here.

I am Jamaican. I've seen how corrupt Jamaica is. New York police are worse. Not just in the acts, but as a whole. At least in Jamaica the police show their true colors and everyone sees it. In NY they're wolves in sheep's clothing.

Weekly shootings is on par with 1997-1999 when NYC finally start to clean up homicide rate heading toward 2012-2016 days.

Excerpt:if you don't live in a high-crime neighborhood, what is your concern?

Response: I have only concern of bleed over ......or random attack.
If it was a solid fact that crime does not spill into other neighborhoods life would go on as normal.
Gunfire smashed a cop car in Motthaven yesterday at the 40th pct. This is open season on cops. 5 people shot in
Bronx, 6 in Harlem 2 in Queens for a total of 4 dead yesterday. All high crime neighborhoods. Folks are not coming forward to become cops and people can not arm themselves legally. Do you wait for increase crime to work its way into your neighborhood? foolish not to be concerned. No...you complain....If your voice is heard and addressed then progress is made towards solving a potential problem. If not...then communities address the issues and implement their own initiatives to assist in protecting themselves. simply going through the motions.

The NY Post said Shootings soar 205 percent after NYPD disbands anti-crime unit
do you agree that the shooting increase was primarily caused by the disbanding of that unit?
