Violent crime is indeed a political issue. OBAMA , for example, opposes the death penalty, something he has not been made to answer for in this campaign. As a state legislator, he sponsored “profiling” legislation which requires Illinois police to record the race of every motorist they subject to a traffic stop. (To avoid being tagged as “racist”, cops now are reluctant to stop suspicious cars with Black occupants, a factor that has led to an upward spike in violence in the Black neighborhoods in Chicago, including that of Obama.)

Obama hurt the black community with that law. Cops working in the black community, usually poor and crime ridden, will make have to make drastically fewer stops to keep from exceeding a number that will brand them “racsists”.
Who suffers for this pandering to “political correctness”?
