Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Baltimore Post Freddy Gray - 63% increase in homicides

The real tragedy in the BLM movement is that these riots, these post action narrated lies into a cell phone camera, these attacks on police will only result in one reality

that cops are going to be less inclined to deal with the public at large, especially the African American public, who needs police the most.

from an article in the New York times about how Mosby screwed the pooch in her trying to launch her (and her husbands) political aspirations on the backs of an ill conceived prosecution of police

------------

“It’s a fractured relationship,” the cop at my house the other night said with a shrug. “It’s absolutely been fractured, and I won’t say it can’t be repaired, but I think it’s going to be a very, very long time.” As she was preparing to leave, I asked this officer if she was willing to admit that the conflict with Mosby, and the mutual mistrust, has led police officers to pull back from their essential duties. One of the most discouraging statistics in Baltimore has been a 63 percent increase in homicides last year. As I asked about this, I watched the cop’s face twist into a frown, which at first I mistook for a sign that she was offended by the question. Then she nodded.

“Absolutely,” she said. “You should get used to 300 murders a year.”

its a sympathetic read for Mosby and an indictment of the police but it does have some semblance of balance

This must be the Utopia argued for during the frequent race related protests.

Huzzah!

It is a real shame that the black community is their own worst enemy.

In reality, it isn't the 'black community', but a few thugs stirring up schitt that will not obey any law or normal standards of decency. They seem to be hell-bent on anarchy.

Until we realize and act on, this is OUR country, and that it does not belong to the police and politicians, nothing will happen but more bad.

A little yeast affects the whole batch of dough. Remove the yeast.

I understand why law abiding middle class blacks are pissed, I do

I've never been pulled over by a cop and asked where I work, or had to justify why I belonged in a neighborhood.

That said, I do get pulled over by the cops.

The problem is that African Americans want empathy and they want action on my part as a White American to support their problems

but they won't address that the problem is African Americans commit a wildy disproportionate number of crimes compared to the white community.

As bad as analogy as this is, if you're looking to put together the best basketball team you can, you're not gonna pick me from a lineup that has 70% blacks, and if you're looking for someone who is committing a crime, you *are* going to look for an African American more often than not.

Black Cops, White Cops - doesn't matter - until the human factor is replaced by robot cops or some other technology, profiling is the most effective means to counteract crime.

If the black community demands that profiling stop, then crime is going to escalate.

BLM is their own worst enemy.

Even worse, then they riot, loot, and commits acts of violence as a response to a police action, they only validate the police actions were correct to begin with.

The bottom line is if you want to fix the police, fix the ghetto.

If you stop the police, you don't stop the ghetto.
