It helps to understand the police are only janitors....there to write the report....after a crime is committed...........how often do they *prevent* a crime?

Its a good news story out of Detroit and it should be posted.
Would it be safe to say these people are protecting themselves from a certain ethnic population that is causing 90% of the problem?
The same ethnic population that is responsible for the bulk of the non self defense shootings?
Or would that be racist?
there was a documentary made about it in the 80s, I think it was called “Robocop” or something similar.
Ye shall know the truth, and speak the truth, and the liberals will hate you for it.
“How it got this bad in Detroit has become a point of national discussion”
It voted democrat, that’s how.
Detroit, violence...that DOES sound familiar. Did ya catch little Jeffy Rossen’s hit piece on guns on TOADY this morning? Probably not.
The Halftime in America Show turned out to be a Western...
Roger & Me (1989), the only thing Michael Moore made that's watchable IMO, showed Michigan circling the toilet 20+ years ago too.
But a sad story for the citizens of Detroit.
For every person there who owns a weapon and knows how to use it, how many are unarmed and helpless?
All the while (apparently) the police force is dwindling, I bet the freebie city givaways and welfare are in full swing, and fully funded...
The number of justifiable homicides, in which residents use deadly force in self-defense, jumped from 19 in 2010 to 34 last year — a 79 percent rise — according to newly released city data.
That makes about 10 murders for every act of self-defense. I'd be more worried about the murderers than about the people who defend themselves. But not the libs.
What is that quote I’ve seen several times on FR?
“When seconds count, the police are only minutes away”
then there is the Detroit version....
“When seconds count, forget 911! Get the .45!”
Detroit is one economic calamity from completely joining the third world.
Didn’t they make some of that in Dallas?
Apparently even back then Detroit was too awful to make a movie in
This is a step back from civilization.
Revenge is a powerful force. Unchecked you have tribalism and barbaric societies.
Governments make a social compact with their citizens. You forgo revenge and we will catch and punish those that commit offenses against you.
This works when the local police and courts are allowed to do what it takes to bring criminals to justice.
Liberals in their concern for the rights of criminals have thrown sand into the slow wheels of justice. It is just as likely a known guilty person will either not be caught or if caught not punished.
Vigilantism occurs when the local authorities either can not or will not punish wrong doers.
Liberals do not help the situation when they do all in their power to keep citizens from being able to protect themselves (from strict gun laws to going after anyone that might resist criminals).
This situation is not going to change until liberalism has truly been tossed into the dust bin of history.
Next they to start vigilance committees. And maybe hire some “private” cops.
At least the people of Detroit can point to Venezuela and say “thank God we don’t live in Caracas”. Socialist Venezuela now has highest murder rate on Earth and 90% of them go unsolved.
