Progressives are going to have a tough time attacking Paterson, the state’s first black governor, who: "chastised his party for failing to address “a rather small number of who seem to repeat these offenses and get arrested 20, 30, 50 times."https://t.co/HX2I3BQVCm
A lot more murders *of black people* aren't a big deal
If it were their neighborhoods, it would be an apocalypse, but so long as it's taking place in Baltimore and Philadelphia instead of SF, white progressives do not care. https://t.co/DC1s3RyhZM
Want to know something really messed up? Whites in Minneapolis supported police defunding at much higher rates than African-Americans and the richest, whitest neighborhoods of the city are now paying the police for extra protection that is not afforded to black communities
Here's the final vote for the police defunding referendum in Minneapolis. Blue means pro-defund and orange means opposed.
Notice anything interesting about how the places with all the shootings voted? The safest people voted to take police protection from the most at risk pic.twitter.com/tlPEx96eff
Even more fucked up? The two most pro-defund precincts are the University
What percentage of people who voted to defund the Minneapolis police are even residents of the city when school's not in session? Rich college kids voted to defund black residents' police department
A bunch of goo-goo white people are making America less safe for black people. At exactly what point? I don't know. But it's racist AF. And at some point this needs to matter. https://t.co/9CFk94ulO7

Story today that spans my current and former agencies that's very frustrating. We've been telling the courts all year "we think this guy is going to kill this lady," most recent felony domestic arrest like a month or two ago. He was out and blasted her today.
A federal judge on Thursday put the brakes on much of the concealed carry law Albany had quickly fashioned in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in June that found New York’s permit system violated the Second Amendment.
Well I've got to give them that they argue with that that's it's actually in the Constitution, Second Amendment - and yes, I know all the arguments about the stupidity of the interpretation of a well-armed militia etc so spare me. The point: abortion is not mentioned anywhere. Nor are things like a public education...
Valid point. Though "well-organized militia" is in the Constitution as well, and that part seems to escape the gaze of even well-educated experienced judges. No intentional blindness, is there?

Jail Time has a new body, a makeup caked face, and a few coins and now she's in Nicki's ass deeper than her rapey hubby. Cardi should've left that criminal to fend for herself. And the dummy for Diddy too. The Ghetto Girls are a joke.

But if I’m right about that (which I am) but you have some separate beef with Democratic Party criminal justice policy then go complain to someone else.
I have frequently written critical articles about leftist takes on crime, but in the upcoming federal election I am concerned that if Republicans win they will make gun laws laxer bringing the whole national situation closer to what we see in Oklahoma.
