How does policing prevent violence?
can you please report to the thread the police presence in your neighborhood and the violent crime rate so I have some context regarding your personal experience with police and crime in your immediate community?
If they gave a merit badge for strawman making, you guys would all be Eagle Scouts.
Government of any size isn't going to fix the problems that have caused this violent crime epidemic. In fact, government is enabling the problem.
I am fully aware, but thank you for this very relevant detour.
I am sure that I could come up with 20 other things that you guys are good at. You might not like that list either.
So are we ready to get back to talking about violent crime or is that too #uncomfortable?
Is this how people that want to solve problems discuss them? It's not a problem unless you've actually seen it with your own two eyes?
Do you have any penguins living the wild in your neighborhood? Do you believe in penguins?
I was defending you. Not sure why you are overreacting to that defense.
Ok, I believe that violet crime is caused by poverty, the war on drugs, and waaaaaaaaay to many guns in our society. What do you believe it is cause by? Lack of police? Too many bazookas?
A lack of economic opportunities and catastrophic failure of leadership structure.
So we don't have a problem with violent crime? For the second time in 24 hours I find myself asking, do you genuinely believe that?
Ok, that's a start. Good. Poverty and "lack of economic opportunity" are at least in the same vein of underlying factor, so we aren't worlds apart here.
With these as your core causes, shouldn't we look for actions that address the core? How do police officers on the ground actually address lack of economic opportunity or leadership failures? I'd say, they do nothing to address the first cause and they probably exacerbate the second by re-enforcing the existing failing leadership and power structure.
Moar unassailable analogies from the conservatives. This is good stuff.
Why do people have such concern about violent crime within a group of people that doesn’t effect them and they don’t seem to give a shit about anything else such as poverty, education, shelter, hunger and so forth. It’s like the middle of nowhere fucks worried about international terrorists when the targets are always urban places they don’t go not their local dollar store.
yeesh
a military base as the example of what society should look like
F is for Fascism indeed
