“If law enforcement is weak, thats not helping, either.”
My guess, based on the article, is that the city government, which is essentially all Black, has gutted the police department by attempting to set the “rules of engagement.” It isn’t the cops, it’s their leadership. The last “mayor” actually demanded that the PD “stand down” so the “citizens” could “let of a little steam!”
The major problem in Black majority cities today is that their Black “leaders” are not their best and brightest. Just look at what 20 years of Coleman Young did to Detroit. Now that we have an economy that will support a decent level of Black employment, we need to demand that they welfare “tit” go out of business in large measure.
Preaching to the choir here. Of course, White leftist Mayors tended to precede these Black leftist Mayors and the latter merely compounded horrible and destructive policies (Jerry Cavanagh got the ball rolling in Detroit in the ‘60s, interrupted by Conservative Democrat Roman Gribbs, who tried to turn things around, but it was too late and then came Commie Coleman Young).
