The bigger issue includes the effect that the argument between mayor and police is having.
in other words - the bigger picture is how an out-of-control populace (with largely known demographics) has fomented unrest while currying favor with the (same demographic) political team that has prevented the (mixed demographic) police department from getting the (known demographic) populace under control again.
Hmmm, I wonder if Ileto belongs to a certain known demographic...
It's obvious the city needs more federal dollars.
Does the word “criminals” include Mosby, Rawlings-whatever, Cummings, the other Mosby, Batts, et al?
Because it should.
Seeing welfare from the eyes of the person who wants to help - - it's noble. The best of Christian values. But a closer look shows the destructive effect that 'caring' can do to destroy families. Replacing fathers with the State had unintentional consequences.
Looking at policing through the eyes of a policeman - a person willing to give his life to protect the innocent is amazing.. and again - noble. The essence of Christian 'good'. But the fruit of that 'goodness' is not good in the black community. Same as welfare - and the effects it had on the black family and the community - is bad. With all the good intentions in the world 'help' has made the black community an unacceptable nightmare. Dangerous for innocent black people trapped in those neighborhoods - and for people of other races near them - it's horrible. My point - which I'm really and truly trying to get to - is that incentives have to be analyzed and changed. What's happening isn't working.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
