The obvious solution is to give handguns to all black people. We are always told, the best solution to a bad guy with a gun, is a good guy with a gun. When all the citizens are armed, gun violence will surely end.

Weird thing is Chicago voters don’t seem to care!
They voted for this incompetence

And, no one wants to defund police; they just want to divert some of the funding and use it to invest in programs like you mention. It’s inappropriate to use gun-toting, skittish police to deal with social issues. Using people trained in social issues is a better choice.

What's wrong with Police Officers doing Law Enforcement work? Makes one wonder what kind of twisted mind came up with Social Workers doing law enforcement.

Common sense in an illogical world............

The social worker can schedule you for PTSD therapy after the shooting.

I find it interesting that in several of the posts, we get the same mantra that by defunding the police we are making them better. By defunding the police we are using the money for social services, etc. Why defund the police at all? If you need money for Social Services, then just budget for it. Isn't that the liberal way? Since when did they suddenly get frugal? On either side. Hey, if we don't have enough money, we just print more. Isn't that the American way?

No, when they said "defund the police" we all know exactly what they meant. They really want to minimize the police presence and the effect of law enforcement. Even the BLM cretins call for the police when those big meanie bikers set up on them and chased them out of town. If you tie the police hands then you create a vacuum that will be filled with vigilantes and militia. The police have rules they must conform to, whereas vigilantes not so much.

So much for the strictest gun control laws in the country.

Perfect case study for tight gun control and related results.

Murders and shootings are up 52% from the same time last year in Chicago.
With more than three months remaining in 2020, there have been more homicides in Cook County, which includes Chicago, than in all of last year, according to a report.


The vast majority of the 2020 homicides — 565 — occurred inside the Chicago city limits. The medical examiner’s office said all but 92 of the victims were shot to death, and that of the 677 homicide victims, 521 were Black and 102 were Latino

Sounds good. Less welfare.

Gun Control is: Sight Alignment, controlled breathing and pulling the trigger not jerking it.

How do you defund the police dept. yet send them on all the calls they would go to anyway. Oh... and then add a social worker to the equation.

Not only be more credible, but actually addressing an issue that goes to the core of black murders in the U.S.
BLM is tending to a knee scrape in a car accident, when the other 3 people in the car have either life threatening injuries or are on life support.
