How police solve crimes in the inner cities

[FeverPitch2]

I've been saying forever that police don't investigate murders that involve Black victims.
People don't think that's possible.
Murders in the hood rarely get solved.
IMO, the lack of consequences for murders of Black victims is a large part of the reason why murders in the inner city are rampant.
If you ask a police officer why these crimes aren't being solved, their default answer is that no one will cooperate with police.
They use the "Stop Snitching" myth to revert blame to the community.
That's bullshyt because:
A) People snitch. All the time. and
B) These are not crimes committed by criminal masterminds. Most of the times these crimes are sloppy and there is evidence to be collected.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I highly doubt it.

Very tragic what happened to her brother

This shyt with terrible policing been going on too long to not have a solution.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Respect to her and her family

Basically did the investigation by themselves

Idk…I think both can be true. Sometimes the police don’t solve crimes and sometimes folks don’t say anything. I know killers in my own family who are walking around free… everyone knows what they’ve done but no one says anything. Neighbors been killed everyone knows the killers…but no one says anything. I will say these ppl were involved in the street life

I think something like 20% off blk homicides are solved in Chicago

 

[#BOTHSIDES]

In 2021, there were 800 homicides counted. The clearance rate by prosecution was 21.7% in predominately Black neighborhoods, yet 45.6% in predominantly White neighborhoods. The study also found that since 2001, the rate of unsolved homicides for Black women is at 35% compared to 23% for White women.

Homicide Clearance Rate Lower in Chicago’s Black Communities: Report

For the past several years, the Chicago Police Department has solved an average of 50% of the city’s homicides per year. But that number, known as a clearance rate, is even lower for Black victims.

It's rare that someone is going to walk into a police station without provocation and rat out a family member or friend.
But did the police do any actual detective work in those cases you're talking about?

There was a high profile case recently that the internet basically solved while the police played with themselves.
We talked about it on here, too.

When your inner city police departments are staffed by white supremacists and c00ns, this is the end result.

So law and order is nothing but and cop propaganda

 

[Voice of Reason]

Memphis police just seem to be incompetent. Unfortunately they make black folks look bad.

This has been circulating the last few days.

Idk how deep the police went but these murders were on the news. hell my cousin was killed this year. Ppl know the killers.

Just like folks who have molesters in their families…but they still come around

IT'S LITERALLY LACK OF COOPERATION. WHAT DID COPS DO BEFORE ALL THESE ADVANCEMENTS IN FORENSICS? CANVAS THE NEIGHBORHOODS. SOMEBODY SEEING SOMETHING GETS THE BALL ROLLING. SOMETHING AS SMALL AS THE MAKE/MODEL/COLOR ON A CAR NARROWS DOWN SUSPECTS INSTANTLY.

LACK OF SURVEILLANCE IN THE HOOD IS ALSO A PROBLEM. IF YOU DON'T HIT THE MAIN STREETS YOU WON'T SEE MANY CAMS.

EVERY HOUSE IN THE BURBS HAS A RING CAMERA. I DO AMAZON FLEX. I SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN SURVEILLANCE IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

AS EASY AS IT IS TO BLAME COPS, SOME OF IT AIN'T THEIR FAULT.
