What I can't abide is the horror of destroying the miraculous place NYC had become by the time of the Bloomberg administrations working in concert with the NYPD. FOR ORDINARY CITIZENS, A MIRACLE. Thrown away, and we'll be lucky if it takes only 2 decades to bring it back.

Maher is a numpty, but it's obvious that (mainly poor) black Americans are overrepresented, per capita, as victims of homicidal violence. Or to put it in Ta Nehisi Coates speak: when it comes to gun violence, black bodies are taking the brunt of it. https://t.co/CQSGdFcuSa pic.twitter.com/YVXeKX9FxI

Violence in America is distributed unevenly. If you live in "mainstream America" then your homicide rate is a bit higher than Canada or Israel. But if you live in what Michael Harrington called "the Other America" then your community endures way, way more violence.
— Ralph Leonard (@buffsoldier_96) April 29, 2023

This disparity in violence is a pattern you see in other Western countries with historically oppressed groups. Britain with its black population; Canada, Australia & New Zealand with its indigenous populations; Israel with its Arab minority...https://t.co/EGKvMhv7JS
— Ralph Leonard (@buffsoldier_96) April 29, 2023

It's just that in America its more stark. As with all the above examples, these stats are symptoms of inequality and social crisis. Now, a racial disparity on its own doesn't tell you much about what's producing it. And the cause isn't "racial" contra racialists & demagogues.
— Ralph Leonard (@buffsoldier_96) April 29, 2023

Crime is multi-causal and intricate phenomenon, influenced by all sorts of historical, social and material factors. In America & elsewhere. One shouldn't be afraid of having the argument.
— Ralph Leonard (@buffsoldier_96) April 29, 2023

And I hasten to add that criminals are still a tiny minority of African-Americans. IOW it’s dumb to get automatically scared when you see a black man on the street. The chances he’s a criminal are quite low, outside certain (usually well known) neighborhoods anyway

People don't know the magnitude of racial disparity in murder in many cities (but then hold it against cops for responding to it).
E.G.: In D.C., 96%(!) of murder & shooting victims are Black. How can we save lives if we can't even speak honestly of death? https://t.co/JylHF9O2au https://t.co/ap82dTwjbJ pic.twitter.com/2urfl1AbKm
— Peter Moskos (@PeterMoskos) April 29, 2023

Imagine the outrage of 96% of those shot and killed by police were Black. It's not hard to imagine since we've seen the outrage at a far lesser disparity. (And yes, the need for "police violence" very much reflects community violence.) https://t.co/U5E6Ak5QJ4 pic.twitter.com/vGnYPwo5bB
— Peter Moskos (@PeterMoskos) April 29, 2023

I'd bet a little bit of money that the Washington Post has straight up _never_ broken down the murder numbers in D.C. by race. Maybe somebody can find a story. I can't. This is the newspaper that for 8 years has kept a detailed racial count of those killing by police.
— Peter Moskos (@PeterMoskos) April 29, 2023

For years the Baltimore Sun published the data. Good on them. But then, for reasons I honestly don't know, around 2019 the racial demographics of 1/2 of murder victims suddenly became "unknown." But in 2016, we knew at least 291 of 318 victims were Black. https://t.co/PFkaZCwFjK
— Peter Moskos (@PeterMoskos) April 29, 2023

I just can't imagine any other scenario is which Blacks are 5X, 10X, 15X as likely as neighboring Whites to die, and year after year, and the general response from those who say they care about racial disparity is simply "let's not talk about it." But it's not going away.

I was on this train and encountered this man just before this happened. He was violently threatening passengers, including women and children. This happens almost every time I get on the subway now. When someone says "I am ready to go to jail" it isn't a figure of speech, it means they've reached a place where incarceration seems like the only way to be guaranteed a bed and a meal. and they are willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. I am sorry for his death, but I have no doubt that the man who restrained him was protecting the public.

The man had 44 prior arrests, and yet he was still walking around free, threatening people on the train.

While the death is saddening, I would support the actions of the 24 year old 100%. Someone screaming that they're ready to die on a subway makes me wonder if he's about to set off a bomb or kill people.

Ultimately this is the government's fault for not forcing mentally ill people on the street into facilities where they can get needed care. Nobody is doing them any favors by letting them terrorize subway riders (which I think the article describes as "respecting the rights of its most vulnerable residents").

If the government is not going to do its job and leave it to normal citizens to provide security in unpredictable and scary situations, then this 24 year old did the right thing in apprehending this person.

followup with the Moskos thread quoted

by artappraiser on Sat, 05/06/2023 - 2:00am

We were very cautious about not arresting people for serious felonies until we were ready because it triggered due process requirements that endangered the case if not met; the discovery requirements of prosecutorial reform all but ensure delays in arrest. https://t.co/NZcyA1Z7Ri
— Brandon del Pozo, PhD, MPA, MA (@BrandondelPozo) May 5, 2023

For example: we would have probable cause against a shooting suspect and we'd call the DA to see if they were ready for the case. They would often say no, and coordinate further investigation; once the handcuffs went on, it was off to the races and the clock couldn't be stopped.
— Brandon del Pozo, PhD, MPA, MA (@BrandondelPozo) May 5, 2023

This is just ridiculous. The "reform" requirements in NY bring NY in line with another 90% of the states, discovery obligations have no rational relationship to the timing of an arrest. The arrest has to be delayed until there is probable cause. Discovery compliance comes later.
— JDoyle (@OldHairbag) May 5, 2023

Probable cause tells you when you may arrest, not when you ought to, if you're making a careful case. The officers who killed Tyre Nichols were arrested 16 days after he died, and 15 days after they were relieved of duty.

Given Chicago's racial segregation and the racial disparity in who is shot (In 2023, 25 blacks have been murdered for every 1 victim), I'm skeptical 1/4 of white Chicagoans have witnessed a shooting if over 1/2 of blacks have. But regardless, it's not good. pic.twitter.com/TfPGYKNS9I

But making one factor of profiling to be for black skin is racist, so must allocate police equally to other areas so as not to be racist. Even if it saves Black lives. So Black lives really don't matter as much in Chiraq?

Nike has made a HUGE investment in Ja Morant. The push behind his signature sneaker has been one of the biggest in years.

I think they're going to have to roll it all back.

by artappraiser on Mon, 05/15/2023 - 12:21am

Dunno if I'm so brilliant, but able to think "hey, maybe smaritannshount have usesld a chokehold for very long after so much prior publicity" along with "hey, maybe homeless dude shouldn't have been punching grannies in the face". Not exactly fence sitting - 2 wrongs don't make an obvious right.

When blacks wanted to protest bus restrictions in Alabama and their first protestor got (out if wedlock) pregnant, they passed her by for Rosa Parks who had no complications - no need to muddy an obvious public need with concerns about immoral living. If only the stable geniuses today would stay focused.

Figured someone may have accidentally crashed until the U-Haul backed up and once again tried to break through the barriers.

Shooting on street next to Huber Park happened near where youth baseball players were prepping to take field

By KPLC Digital Team

Published: May. 25, 2023 at 6:34 PM EDT with VIDEO AT LINK

Lake Charles, LA (KPLC) - Youth baseball players were preparing to take the field at Huber Park Wednesday night when, in the street next to the park, an 18-year-old was shot and killed.

The victim, 18-year-old Markell Jackson, was found shot in the street, but Calcasieu Sheriff’s Office officials said shell casings were found in the park.

Bubba McCarty, a board member for Mid City Baseball, said in a posted statement that the incident did not involve any Mid City players or fans. Most of the league’s games had already ended for the day and the last game of the day was scheduled to be played

“Most of our players and parents had already vacated the park beforehand,” he said.

McCarty offered his condolences to Jackson’s family and friends [....]

Man involved in four Mesa shootings identified, also connected to Phoenix shooting

20-year-old Iren Byers is in custody, facing four counts of first degree murder and a count of attempted murder

By: abc15.com staff, last updated 7:19 PM, May 28, 2023

MESA, AZ — Police have identified the man they say was involved in four shootings in Mesa that left three people dead and another injured. Officials believe the man is also connected to a fifth shooting in Phoenix that killed a man Friday afternoon.

20-year-old Iren Byers is in custody, facing four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.

Court documents say Byers was seen in security footage near 25th and Sheridan streets in Phoenix wearing a red shirt, black fanny pack over his shoulder, black pants, and black shoes at about 2:45 p.m.

The security footage allegedly shows Byers "make a furtive movement toward the victim consistent with pointing a gun." An apparent gunshot is then heard in the footage. When police arrived, they found 41-year-old Nicholas Arnstad dead next to the canal.

Court documents say Byers identified himself in the security footage and told investigators he shot Arnstad because he was "abusing fentanyl, which he did not like since [Byers'] brother abused the drug too." count of attempted murder

The second shooting happened around 10:30 p.m. Friday at a park near North Beverly and Main Street in Mesa.

Surveillance video from a nearby apartment showed a man leaving the apartment complex and passing through an open fence to get into Beverly Park. A single gunshot is heard on the footage, according to court documents. When officers arrived, they found the body of a 41-year-old man.

Documents say Byers shot the man because he was talking about "blues." Mesa police officials confirm "blues" refer to fentanyl.

While at the park, officials say officers heard shots fired nearby and began searching the area. Around midnight on Saturday, officers found a third victim near Country Club Drive and 2nd Avenue.

A witness told investigators she noticed a man with a red shirt, black pants and a black fanny pack following her when she got off the light rail at Country Club Drive, according to court documents. She said she saw the man walk south on Country Club toward Broadway with another man.

Court documents say she watched them until she lost sight of them and heard a "loud pop." She then saw the same man she thought was following her run from the area. Byers told investigators he met the man at a Circle K and talked to him while riding the light rail. According to court documents, Byers told the man he wanted to smoke weed, but after the victim said he wanted to smoke "blues," Byers shot him. [....]
