How many blacks have died in Baltimore since Freddie?

Not a peep from the media on that subject.

How many blacks have died in America since Trayvon?

Not a peep from the media on that subject, either.

Is this due to a lack of infrastructure funding?

The only reason they shoot each other is because of “white privilege”.

Thanks to the mayor and the district attorney, the cops are no longer being proactive. Now they only respond to incidents after the shootings to to draw the outline around the bodies.

Meanwhile, where are the police? Why aren't they aggressively trying to stop all of this violence?

I mean, it's not like they'll go to jail themselves if they try to stop all of this crime, all of this violence - right?

CHICAGO TRIBUNE

SUNDAY MORNING 5-17-2015

16 wounded in shootings since late Saturday morning

By Liam Ford and Peter Nickeas Chicago Tribune contact the reporters

Crime Shootings Law Enforcement John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital of Cook County

Two women shot during a chaotic exchange of gunfire happened upon by a police supervisor were among 16 people wounded by gunfire since late Saturday morning, according to police.

The most recent shooting happened about 2:50 a.m. in the 900 block of West 52nd Street in the Back of the Yards neighborhood.

A supervisor patrolling the area barely south of the shooting heard the gunfire and saw a car fleeing the scene, police said.

As the supervisor approached 52nd Street, the shooting continued and the supervisor called out for help from more police and ambulances.

“They’re still shooting over there,” the dispatcher said after the supervisor repeated a call for help. “Get some cars over there with him, (he’s) on scene.”

I haven’t read the COMMIE APPEAL which is Memphis’s fish wrapper, but I suspect it says about the same. The first 15 mins of the nightly news is noting but crime and shootings.

The only logical answer to the demands and complaints of black leaders and their useful idiots is to set up a "separate but equal" mode of policing. Thugs (all races) could simply avoid neighborhoods where they'd be profiled.

I wonder how black police being forced to work in black neighborhoods would feel about that.

“Is this due to a lack of infrastructure funding?”

The biggest problem i see is Lack of non-aggressive museums as per mrs obama?
Perhaps some cultural events?
A community garden with soothing classical music would do some good?
How about free yoga lessons? :) :) :)
Maybe declare the city a ‘no kill zone’

They need stricter gun control. Yeah, that’s it. They need stricter gun control. Maybe cut off the supply of bullets over the internet. Yeah. That’ll help. Or a gun buyback program to get those murder things out of the hands of children. Yeah. Perfect. Or make shooting guns inside the city limits illegal. Yeah...
