came to mind easily serve as a substitute for one of rmrd stories along the lines of "police are horrifying scary abusive Nazis because they handcuff people"

OMG in D.C. the cops are publicly profiling black males with dreadlocks as persons of interest instead of looking to arrest everyone concerning the homicide of the beloved dean of students of the Hope Community Charter School!!!
this is so systemtically racist is it not? They should just not be looking at the race and hairstyles of people in surveillance videos when investigating a homicide!

Still, remember, we don't need police on our highways, they are unnecessary! Oh, and stopping people for breaking rules driving 2-ton machines at 60 mph running on controlled combustion is also unnecessary. Why have licensing at all, it's working for guns, why not cars?
The Twin Cities are making great progress, I hear, at whittling down police forces to nothing, even tho they changed their mind on that, too late now...

This guy currently being lauded by all and sundry for exceptional cool on duty during the Chicago cop shooting. It's okay because: he's black!
Plus lots of black Chicagoans call 911 all the time hoping that police will respond (contrary to the common narrative by a Dagblog member that black people don't call the police, go figure, who knew?)

oh shit the no stoolie thing is catching on in Brooklyn, a very bad sign, this is not until now a NYC thing, minorities will tattle even on gangs because they don't like high crime any more than anyone else
P.S. New Rochelle is a town in Westchester county, pretty damn far away and certainly not anywhere near any NYC border. Plus it doesn't have a large minority population like say, Mt. Vernon. Extremely suspicious

yeah it's called policing, cops can even use Twitter these days:
You get video and witnessess and hunt down the cars and perps and arrest and try them
But that's if black lives actually matter.
Or you could be rmrd and complain that police can't do anything about it the <SHRUG so who cares homicide is the #1 cause death of young black males BUT how about that Tuskegee thing?>
with video cams allover the fucking place in a big city more detectives and tougher prosecutors wouldn't make a dent in the gun homicide rate? RIGHT! and there's a bridge we might want to sell you too
Maybe he'd just like to see them all kill each other like I saw some internet wag claim may be Mayor Lightfoot's ultimate goal. Then he could go back to hating whypipple

all the many stories along the lines of "5 shot, 1 killed" often there is one about the grieving over the lost one, but very few have follow-ups of what life is for the other 4. It ain't always pretty but we are going to ignore it until like 10 years down the road when the number of inner city handicapped become OVERWHELMING, far more men in nursing homes and/or disabled care than in prison:
welcome to the wonderful world of U.S. nursing homes, they ain't just for old people or even just inner city people, they are virtually all like this because any kind of regular health insurance stops paying after a while, you eventually go on Medicaid:
‘You Don’t Treat Dogs Like This’: Mother Says Bedridden Son Neglected At South Loop Nursing Home
CHICAGO (CBS) — Aug. 10, 2021
I have to differ with his mom, in that it is extremely common situation in nursing homes allover the country, no matter what color or age. Once they give up on you in the regular hospital, this is what you get! Is very equal opportunity once your assets are gone. She and her son ain't special.

Street racing soars after 'defund police' movement slashes traffic patrols across US
Colorado, Texas jurisdictions consider how to crackdown on the problem
By Danielle Wallace | Fox News , 13 hrs. ago
this is also absolutely a MAJOR MAJOR problem in the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn as soon as the weather got warm, I have seen NOTHING like it here since I moved here in 1983, it's as if the Milwaukee of my youth of movie fame had been transported, it's incredible, mind boggling and very dangerous especially where the streets are narrower than in the west and midwest and less well maintained. The NYPD is trying to keep up but they just can't, it's simply incredible...
by artappraiser on Tue, 08/10/2021 - 11:13pm
social workers could surely have handled these cases?
edit to add another! it's like a neverending river to "the people":
and how, exactly, are they supposed to get off the streets in other cities without more cops working on this?

this is a really good piece about the straw purchaser of the handgun that the cop shooters in Chicago used, his arrest situation by ATF and prosecution by the Feds.It has good detail gives one a good sense of what really needs to be done to solving the problem of handguns in blue cities where they are already against the law:
Feds charge man with providing gun used to kill CPD officer, injure another over weekend
August 9, 2021 CWBChicago
I remembering reading a detailed article in the Bloomberg era in NYC where Bloomberg himself or someone from his foundation explained how attacking this problem is key to getting gun violence under control since reality means it is not going to be possible to outlaw handguns nationwide.
It's not just about gun show loopholes and all that. IT'S ABOUT THESE PEOPLE WHO SPECIALIZE IN MAKING STRAW PURCHASES for basically a little money on the side! These are not gang members or even involved in criminal activities themselves. They are just opportunists who take advantage of the situation of "bad guys" not being able to buy like a gun or a car themselves. All the "bad guys" get to know them, i.e., go see Lenny who works at the Chicken Shack, he'll get you a gun in Indiana.
Lenny basically stays legal, ya see? You have to go after these guys hard
It was the same thing with those two guys in the military a while back who were found to be furnishing guns to criminals in Chicago. They were just doing it for extra money.
It may look wrong at first to see hard time prosecution of these types, but accordiing to Bloomberg experts, it was key to getting gun violence down in NYC, you couldn't make any sort of dent in the the problem without having Feds crack down hard on these small time trafficking on the side guys. Especially in areas like Chicago or NY where crossing state lines to legal handgun sales is not that hard to do, just like a 90 mile trip and a guy can make himself some real bucks buying a handgun he resells to a felon. The straw purchasers are a big big part of the problem. They get caught after the fact when their name is found on the books as the legal purchaser where the gun was legal to own. For prevention you have to unfortunately catch them in the act of selling to a criminal before it's used criminally.

got me thinking how official BLM might benefit from a watch of The Sopranos, how social worker types, like Dr. Melfi, might fear for their life if they don't keep their yap shut. Once in the game they are in it for life, and people like this don't change until there's something serious in it for them (which might even include witness protection.) No courts my ass, such nonsense, perfect set up for gangs ruling society.

There's basically been a coverup of MASSIVE killing of black males in Philly!!! Crickets!!!
And there were protests, including riots and looting, there last year about: POLICE!!! That's like a headline story for "Ripley's Believe It Or Not."
DeNile, DeNile, DeNile: the epidemic of gun crime has hit a level unmatched in recent memory — a pace that began last summer and has persisted since. DOH - attack the role of police in general and violence-prone men will take advantage of the situation!

GET A GRIP BLM people:
That's almost 2,000 a year in Philly alone, and the majority of them black males.
vs. a steady approx 1,000 a year deaths due to police across the entire nation and a majority of those are white (as per WaPo's database project.)
Really, the whole BLM shtick, it's like a bad dirty trick on black people in the U.S. to distract them from the real harm and danger.
