Another stupid, conformist and unquestioning mind who can only regurgitate the simplistic and meaningless slogans of their bureaucracy

Roosevelt’s Depression was an era of low crime remembered as a time when people left doors unlocked and did not fear going out at night. Try again.

People were much poorer in the past. They were also less progressive.

Crime wasn’t as bad.

So maybe an ideology rooted in envy and entitlement may be to blame?

Maybe not, but society is to blame for police chiefs that are beyond stupid.

Just what I was going to note. She's got it twisty-tailed around.

In 50 different ways: Crime causes poverty.

I grew up in a small town, about 1,100 people. No one locked their doors when they went to work. No one locked their car doors.

There wasn’t even a police department in this town.

There was no crime. It just didn’t exist.
Of course, just about everyone in the town was armed. But there was no crime.

- and we were all a bunch of poor working people. Most of the town well below the official poverty line. My family certainly was. And I remember how much assistance we received from the government.

None. We refused to ask for any. Too proud and besides - it wasn’t our money to ask for.

Blaming poverty for violence is a very convenient way to excuse the behavior of certain communities who are always engaged in violence. It’s not their fault - it’s the poverty that made them do it.

So tired of this crap.

Why is that chief of police? Oh, I see why. No qualifications, but has two special privileges.

Leading a life of drugs and crime leads to poverty. She has it backwards.

I can't help but think of my Dad. Grew up fatherless in the depression. Ran coal to houses from where it was dumped to make a few pennies when he was 8. His mother took care of 4 people in the family. He joined the Navy to get 3 squares and a bed. Thievery would have been unthinkable for them

What a surprise. Never blame the perps because they are victims. The Leftist government of Dallas desperately wants to turn it into another Detroit.

I remember an old cartoon with a sheriff standing atop the gallows about to spring the trap door on the criminal with a noose around his neck. Says he: “I realize that society is at least partly to blame for your crimes. But I have only enough rope for you.”

The most massive crimes in history and currently being committed are by “white criminals” from politics,government entities,corporations,non-profits and other frauds in the realm of $BILLIONS upon $BILLIONS of stolen.

“What a surprise. Never blame the perps because they are victims. The Leftist government of Dallas desperately wants to turn it into another Detroit.”

All they need is more Muslims and illegals, er... I mean immigrants.
