That will not be the outcome here of course. Public sector union workers will continue to get the soft landing when they rape, pillage, plunder, and violate.
What in the $*^% does this have to do with Democrats ?????????

second, you do realize that being accused is not the same as being guilty right ??????

There's a lot of people working hard on the issue but it doesn't help when the policies and tactics being implemented and used are set by a completely different body not sensitive to the issue. From the War on Drugs to community development to job opportunities and social programs.

And don't act like its a "color" problem. There's distressed communities all over this countries and places where white people will kill you as fast as anybody. Don't be mistaken.

It's not an issue of race and more an issue of Socio Economics, culture and history imo.
Here's the thing. All the efforts that people put into helping black communities will all be completely and utterly USELESS AND WASTED as long as many blacks, 1) do an utter crap job of raising their kids to be decent human beings, 2) continue to have babies often at a young age when clearly they're not capable and/or not willing to raise them properly.

As long as those two conditions remain, no amount of outside effort will fix black communities on a permanent basis.

Also with regards to risking your life if you go to the police to report what you see, again why not simply call an anonymous tip hotline at the very least and give cops the help they need to clean up your neighborhood? Is it really that hard to call in anonymously, tell the cops what you saw and let them take it from there? I mean how many black people out there have already had a family member, a relative, or a friend that has been killed, injured or is in prison right now? Yet they'd rather risk their lives continuing to exist in that enviroment into eternity rather than risk their lives to clean it up? That makes no sense to me at all.

And lastly YES IT IS a 'color' problem when entire neighborhoods and portions of a city are considered dangerous enough that everyone living or happening to visit there is in danger of becoming a victim of crime. You say there are places where white people will kill you as fast as anybody. Please tell me the names of these areas. There's about 200 million white Americans in the US living in thousands upon thousands of communities. Please list the ones that are predominately white where the entire neighborhood is too dangerous to walk through like how it is for many black communities? I'd geniunely like to see the list.

And the thing is I'm betting even the most dangerous white neighborhoods and areas probably all have MUCH lower crime rates than the overwhelming number of black neighborhoods in the US. If you can prove me wrong please do so and if you can't, then I'm right and this isn't economic or history issue, but rather one group of people who continually can't get their crap together and raise decent kids to be decent adults and it leads to an unending wave of crime and violence.

Sometimes black people can be their own worst enemy. They claim to hate that they're stereotyped as thugs and criminals by society, so then they go and prove the stereotype true?

I don't see how looting your own neighborhood (or anybody else's) is the answer to anything? It'll only drive businesses and people further away from your community, further alienating you from mainstream society.

I have more sympathy and outrage for the man who was killed by a cop's chokehold in NYC. Hopefully there won't be any riots or looting.

Man do I love the way places like this and comment sections blow up when things like this happen. I just enjoy reading people bicker and argue when nobody has a damn clue about what actually happened. Keep it up everybody, this popcorn is delicious.

There's been multiple witnesses. No evidence backing up the Police/media version of the story.

And? None of us know anything. How do we know that anybody involved is believable? It is far too easy to be reactionary.
