Look at these stupid bold contradictions from a supposed lawyer.
You want police to do their job because taxes pay for it but then you don't want them to do their job because people go to jail when they do. But you are also against the community doing anything about it
what else is there to be said.
The vast majority of policing is not for public safety - its in regard to state economic interest. Cannabis sales, loitering, homelessness, and petty theft from large-scale corporations, as well as non-violent probation violations do not pose any harm to the community. But they are an outsized chunk of why Black men are arrested, jailed, and inprisoned. A "community policing" would work to protect the community and prevent crime that endangers the community - not leverage attacks against the impoverished.
If you don't see the difference between the two kinds of "policing" you may be a lost cause.
This will make sense if the police were crime preventers or deterrents. They are not. They react to crime..... and your analogy about the Irish/Italians is incorrect.... Violence slowed up when they were allowed to be white...... didn’t have shyt to do with “perceived” wealth.... besides.... being broke is not an excuse to put a pill in the lid of an 8 year old....... make that make sense... these aren’t crimes of financial circumstances.... how does killing kids enrich a black man’s pocket...? Explain that
Police are supposed to act as deterrents - and the proximity to Whiteness is a literal "bolster" of wealth. It changes things economically, and yes it directly led to an increase in the wealth within the Irish and Italian communities - even with no apparent showing of an increase of involvement in crime.
Being broke is not an excuse to kill a child. But it certainly does explain the social pathology that leads to the shooting. Gun violence correlates with income and family wealth. One is less likely to be involved in gun violence if their schools are well-funded and adequate, their parents are able to have stable housing and careers, the food and environment are non-toxic and supported by local funding, and less hyper-surveillance.
It gotta be a both ways thing.
Some of these brehs are too far gone. No amount of a positive change in economic wealth will deter them from that street shyt.
I do agree that white supremacy gotta be destroyed to change conditions in our areas.
Positive change in economic wealth would deter the vast majority of "street dudes" from being in the streets.
Everyone keeps saying white supremacy is the issue, and that’s true.
But we can’t afford to just sit around and wait for white people to treat us fairly. And we can’t vote our way out of every problem.
We need to focus on building the nuclear Black family and community, IMMEDIATELY.
It’s not going to stop it from raining, but at least we will have the umbrella of family and community to help keep us dry.
The nuclear family is not that big of an issue - the community and general family are - but none of this detracts from the need for either wealth or communitarian support.
The expropriation of wealth from the Black community is part and parcel of the destruction of the Black community.
the internet has no borders so I'm everywhere
you gonna keep crying because I son you or will you speak up to the fact that you just contradicted yourself like a dumbass by occupying two points that conflict.
lawyer my ass.
You're not a Black American - this isn't your conversation. You're not even a Black Quebecois.
