I do not think the level of criminality in America can be stopped by the police. If not for legal barriers, why not send in the military? Read below

America is insanely violent, and the streets of some cities might as well be warzones. More people have been killed in the south side of chicago since 2003 three than in the Iraq and afghan war combined. The amount of thuggin' that goes on in this country is fucking ridiculous and I genuinely believe placing certain cities under temporary arrest and martial law for a good year would do a LOT of good. I don't wanna hear some shit about the New World Order, fascism, or whatever... I want you to honestly look at the amount of young men throwing away their own lives and the lives of the innocent and tell me why it would be a bad idea. I know we have The Posse-comitatus and it would be illegal right now, but ideally I think it would be a net benefit.

[c=#4C0073]Thise problems are way deeper than martial law can fix. It’s a culmination of discrimination, socio-economic disparities, and access to necessary resources. When those things combine you get widespread crime and violence. The same pattern happens all around the world. [/c]

@AgapeLove [c=#4C0073]The breakdown of family structures and education levels are all symptoms of discrimination, socio-economic disparities, and access to necessary resources. When people feel they won’t be hired because of discrimination, or they won’t be paid a living wage because of socio-economic disparities, and they won’t get a fair shot at improving themselves because of access to resources then they try to get these things the easy way. That’s usually a criminal act or aligning themselves with criminals in some form. I’ve worked in inner cities counseling at-risk youth and their families for years. Most of these people don’t want a hand out or individuals who think they know everything meddling in their lives. They just want a fair shot. But, people would rather point fingers and site skewed facts to support their preconceived notions of what they think is going on rather than to seek to understand and change things. [/c]

@AgapeLove [c=#4C0073]That is an obvious prejudice that you are letting affect your determination. You are failing to realize that women rarely worked when Jim Crow laws were in effect. They had to stay with their husband s because they had no viable way to protect themselves or earn a living.

You don’t agree because you don’t want to see what the real issues are. You want to be able to kill a bunch of poor people and hope that will fix the problem. It won’t. The problem is related to those issues that are deeper. More black women are college educated right now than any other group of people. Yet, the rate of employment for black women is not any higher. Black individuals in general have less children now than they did back then. Also, most black families though not married are still mostly nuclear families. Black couples get married less now because it is less financially advantageous to do so, but they are still functioning two parent households. The rate of rape for blacks is lower than that for whites; so, money or community has no effect on that. Murder is closely related to gangs and guns in the black community. Which is related to discrimination, access, and status.[/c]

@AgapeLove [c=#4C0073]Yes, the discrimination was so bad blacks were afraid to walk at night. Hard to commit crime when you’re being hunted and hung daily. Most black people were afraid to breathe let alone try to commit crime.

Thank you for showing me that this is just blister from you. You just basically said that you don’t consider black parents as parents. It’s amazing the lengths people will go through to try n hide their racism.
