How does that make him a racist? These days cannot have an honest disagreement on anything relating to blacks without being called nasty names.

Why does nobody seem to care about all the black and black murders going on? Or children growing up in a one parent home?

The police are about the lowest paid public servants for what they have to endure and the dangerous work they survive every day.
Judge Dredd is a fictional, sci fy movie. Personally, I enjoy The Walking Dead. If you want something to really relate to that is more current, you should have asked me if I liked Yellowstone. I do.

If you're in an upscale building in the city and get on the elevator, and three black men wearing jeans and hoodies get on the next floor and it's just you and those three black men in jeans and hoodies, and you're a white female, you will -probably- feel some measure of discomfort.

Why? Because they are "other" and you are in the minority.

I think that's the worst of "most" people I've met here.

But there are some who will blame things on blacks - because they truly believe it's the fact that they're black that is causing whatever the ills of society are. They are more bold here, because they are with "their own kind" for the most part. That ugly underside definitely exists, and it's definitely ugly. Thankfully, most folks know to keep that crap to themselves when they're in the company of others.

But you definitely hear some nasty stuff at the country club bar from time to time.

Yeah, it's most certainly the "white racists"...

Sorry, that means no Judge Dredd allowed.

Apparently, you do not want any law enforcement either. Judge Dredd is fictional. The problem on here is that most are commenting with absolutely NO experience in law enforcement and have no idea what or how the job is conducted. Most watch Tv and think that Hollywood actors and fiction is how the job is done. Sorry, but most police work is none of what you see on TV. But, I know that none of the folks commenting on here would ever make a serious mistake. Why? Because they would never have a job where a mistake would be serious. I say that precluding the doctors on here that also have a job where a mistake can be serious.

My post was more of an observation than complaint that the so called solutions are aggravating the problematic issues, "solutions" made with anger, guilt are nonproductive, demonstrated by events, building a better bridge to the future is in all our interests, so far all that has been done , the theory, is to bail out the river because no one knows how to build a better bridge, perhaps trite but supported by all statistics is the importance of the family structure, to what ever extent, no family, no community, no civil society, who ever solves this well deserves to be honored

Yes. And usually on the left side of the spectrum, being offended for other people because they don't feel those people are bright enough to be offended for themselves. Champions of the under-represented so that they rely on them. A mentality of "They need help because they can't do it themselves."

As opposed to the "accountability and opportunity for EVERYone" mentality that exists on the right side.

If you dont break the law, and you don;t resist arrest, you probably won't get killed. Black, White, Green or Purple. Who would want to be a law enforcement officer in NYC, California or Minnesota ? Or a business owner that could be a victim of Smash and Grab, $ 950 free shoplifting sprees etc ? For me, I look forward to the resurrection of the Pinkertons to protect property rights .. Until the legislatures grow a pair and go back to locking up criminals and stop vilifying police and other law enforcement, law abiding people and business owners need to enact any form of property protection. Those states and others have re-enacted the Wild Wild West, and soon the streets will have more bad guys lying on their backs dead in the street. If a carrot doesnt work, you have to use the stick ..

One thing that will help law enforcement is stricter gun control. The lax laws that allow anyone to get a gun is putting police on edge and causing them to use deadly force when it is not necessary.

The problem is that you cannot have "stricter gun control" without limiting access to guns to law-abiding citizens who want to protect themselves. Those who want to use guns to commit crimes will not be deterred by stricter gun control measures.

Of course it will. We all know that criminals abide by all the new laws out there.

Having gone through the process of getting a ccp in NY, NJ, MD, VA, and FL and all reciprocal states, I find it less than honest to imply the majority of crimes are being committed by those who legally obtained their license. Not many gang bangers or violent criminals follow the laws.
