Do Not accept violent crimes as a part of life — that is a wrong attitude to start with. Read 7thfloor’s posts as examples. Civilization requires the protection from LE force so be willing to support and cooperate with the police.
Do not downplay the problem of rising crime using any excuses. Let the police deal with violent criminals and stand behind the police not the criminals. The majority of LE officers are out there to enforce L&O and protect you.
Do not excuse/defend criminals and justify their criminal acts using any personal/societal excuses. A perp with a slavery ancestry is no excuse of their criminal acts today. A mentally unstable perp needs to be punished when harming others.
It might not be possible to totally eliminate crimes but a civilized society does its best to prevent and reduce crimes.
Well damn...tell us how you really feel.
So my attitude to not be a snowflake means that I'm accepting violent crimes as a way of life?
A number of teens have absolutely no respect for authority.
The police officers in that video jeopardized their own safety and well being, only to have the assailants immediately released from jail. Next time, the officers need to utilize their taser guns.
“ Last week Adams announced police would no longer patrol in pairs. That immediately received criticism from police unions.
“It doesn’t make sense to have one person or one member of the service on the train because if you’re involved in a physical altercation no one is getting to you until you get to the next stop,” Paul DiGiacomo, president of the Detectives’ Endowment Association, said.”
Anyone surprised by no bail? He prosecutes a person who allegedly defended himself for murder. Drops the charges. This da is a mess.

“ Wild video captures a 16-year-old boy punching and grappling with an NYPD cop who confronted him for allegedly jumping a turnstile in Manhattan over the weekend.
The boy — who has previously been arrested for possession of a loaded gun and robbery — was released the next day on his own recognizance, police sources said.”
We know what to do. We did it before. We just have to elect politicians with the balls to actually do it.
Maybe you need to get stopped and frisked a few times because of your skin tone and see how it feels before you start asking for that, bet you wouldnt want it back then
Are catch and release policies better? Is it better if a city has little economic activity because productive people are scared to go there?
Crime increases only if the ratio from the middle class to the poor increases, in which case the number of poor and unemployed will increase, and so will criminality. I was told all this by the Monmouth County Sex Crimes Attorney when I consulted with them about rape statistics. So if you live in a developed country, then the crime rate will be low, and if not, then you need to change something in the state.

Yup! A lot more robberies are happening, why? Look at the economic state we are in right now.
