If this had been a white, er, “child” there would have been no such brouhaha.
You cannot have a conversation with someone that refuses to recognize reality.
I have to express my admiration of you for posting these pieces (of what is best left unsaid). I cannot, myself, bear to go to those places on the Internet and read such blather, yet we do need to know what’s out there.
I think of your work as akin to that done by sewer workers. Someone has to get down there in the crap, but I don’t want to be that one. Thanks for what you do.
Freedom from what?
> George Zimmerman to stalk and kill Trayvon Martin, a child, in his own neighborhood.
Stop right there!
The new Civil Right is an end to policing in Negro neighborhoods?or freedom of Negroes from any contact with police at all? Listening to the idiocy of the “leaders” I would be tempted to say let them have what they want! but then reality intrudes. I know too many good people who would become essentially slaves of gangs that don’t even exist in my town now but would if these new “rights” were successfully promulgated.
Yes, the next step in black freedom from all moral or Godly restraint.
The black inner city culture is pushing for it’s own equivalent of sharia law. They want different standards of law enforcement based on their own interpretation of law and their community mores. Ironically they are pushing segregation because of this.
This article is nothing but Venezuelan COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA!!! How do the police of COMMUNIST VENEZUELA handle suspects who resist arrest? Do tell, Mr. Author! /s
The "Broken Windows" policies of law enforcement in NYC and other places have been derided by both the rank & file police and the minority communities as being worthless and actually harmful to residents. That they are alienating the communities and perpetuating extreme distrust of law enforcement. There has been a lot of talk about it in NYC.
Here are examples of broken windows policies in NY from http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2014/nov/06/broken-windows-and-new-york-police/
Currently, in New York, possession of less than twenty-five grams is not a crime unless you are caught lighting up in public or, in the language of the law, the drug is “open to public view.” A beat cop on foot patrol, instructed to enact the policy, may approach a person he deems to be suspicious. He orders the suspect to empty the contents of his pockets, which may contain a couple of grams of pot. The suspect has now publicly displayed the drug and is arrested according to the letter of the law. Black and Hispanic men make up 86 percent of these busts.
The stop-and-frisk tactic that was heavily employed during the Bloomberg administration is an example of the logic of the broken windows theory taken to an extreme: beat cops were told to dispense with the pretense of minor infractions to identify suspects; simply being on the street became sufficient cause for a frisk, and then a search, to take place. Eighty-seven percent of those stopped were black or Hispanic.
White people just hire a lawyer or don't get stopped in the first place. People in those communities can't afford lawyers. The court system in overburdened with the minor arrests (court delays are years) and they just plead guilty. They find themselves in a position with no way out of the ghetto. Things like rejected job and housing applications or being banned from joining the military and attending certain colleges. That takes its toll on a community.
It was happening in Furgeson too. With a population of 21,000 last year there were 32,000 arrests for minor offenses.
It was undisputably wrong that those 2 cops were executed in NYC. I can't emphasize that enough! But after it happened, the broken windows style of law enforcement ended out of fear for officer safety. I can't help but wonder what the minority communities are thinking about this. I hope it is not the beginning of an Unintended Consequences scenario.
