The Shit Will Be Hitting Fans In Chicago Again

And what are we supposed to do about criminals when our police can't seem to tell the difference between someone who is dangerous, and someone who isn't?

Pray for them?

You're right. It doesn't. Criminals are criminals because they are criminals. Not because they are minorities. To suggest otherwise, like you are, is blatantly racist.

You completely missed the point.

Laquan clearly was not an imminent threat. It wasn't that the police officer that shot him couldn't tell the difference. He didn't care. He is a criminal with a badge.

Chicago bigwigs want to run all of the black people out of Chicago. They encourage the cops to shoot them and they destroy the school system and aid and abet black criminals. As a result a lot of black people have left Chicago but some are slow to get the message.

You're an idiot. African-Americans are the core constituents of most aldermanic seats, include my alderman's.

Now you're calling the Census Department liars.  When will it end?

"Chicago

The 2010 census showed the city of Chicago lost 200,000 people over the last decade. The city now has about as many people as it did in 1910. There are 181,000 fewer African-Americans in the city, a whopping drop of 17 percent, and 72,000 fewer in the region as a whole. An estimated 1 million Blacks remain — about one-third of the population."

What are civilians supposed to do when they can't tell the difference between criminals and the police?

Emmanuel should have already had in place the review boards, additional training, civilian oversight, and community liaisons that he will be initiating now.

I'm disgusted with the situation.

A quick check of the demographics of DuPage County showed that it is 70+% white and 4+% black.

I have no doubt that means utterly nothing to someone like you.

It must be very hard to maintain such simplistic notions of good and evil.  Ignore rampant inequities and judge them all the same.  Black lives do matter.  Discrimination matters.  Institutionalized injustice matters.  Huddling together with the relatively well off and pointing fingers at all the bad people where the poverty is .. that's pretty simplistic.
