You are making shit up and calling it my words - and you think that's fine because you parrot the right party line.

But nobody comes forward to ID shooters - because - "don't snitch".....Residents wonder why the homicide clearance rate in 2019 was only 53% (and that's an improvement over previous years.)


AND


Where are the protests? Where is the outrage?

If ONE of those deaths had a cop involved - you would see looting and pillaging - er - I mean "protests" by now....

They are protesting against police brutality and systemic racism, why would you expect to see protests after every random homicide?

And how are protests supposed to work against random homicides and gang violence? Are the gang leaders supposed to get together and consider reform based on people protesting?

Apparently being deliberately obtuse is the fashion of the day. My own perspective is that it makes you look so incredibly stupid and uninformed, you appear retarded. That's what makes the world go around, I guess. *shrug*

Cops should be held accountable when the need arises. There should always be a system in place for checks and balances, because when there's not cops will always be excused for that which they should be punished.

RE: Chicago this Weekend
Right now we have a system of un-accountability by design. The idea is that it helps them do their jobs. I find it ironic that the agents of the law are more equal than the rest of us under law, and question exactly how it helps them do their jobs. Unless their job is putting a boot on the back of our necks, ofc, at which point my objections and doubts are moot.

Nobody wants to eliminate the police. Pay attention.

He's wrong, but it's what he truly believes.

OLB thinks that having a less murderous police force means that gangbangers will be in control. IDK, I suspect that gangbangers would have a pretty rough go against hillbilly cartels. They've got all the guns. Ultimately, that's just not something that concerns OLB.

He's concerned that if cops can't execute black men on the streets, that means that black men are in charge of this country.

Horseshit.

Defunding means less benefits, lower pay and longer hours.

The smart cops leave.


Good luck with who's left.

So WTF do you want, OLB? You rejected my assertion that you seem to be okay with the current level of police violence. So I guess you aren't okay with it? So what do we do about it that meets with your approval?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
