Black Lives Matter NY President: Crime Needs To Be Looked At As A Health Issue, Not A Police Issue
RCP video ^ | 6-29-2020 | Tim Hains

(snip)

NEWSOME: Well, here's the thing: a lot of people don't understand how the streets or the people feel. I have an in-depth knowledge for this, I live in the Bronx, I live amongst the people.

... But if people keep seeing these images of their babies, of their relatives, of black people being killed, they keep dealing with financial inequality and inequity, and it reaches a point of frustration, then people lash out.

This is a matter of inevitability that people will lash out because they're feeling like they're backed into a corner....

NEWSOME: Well, what you have to understand is overtime -- how about this? I'm not encouraging people to go out and hurt other people. That's not what I'm promoting.

What I'm talking about is systemic inequality. What I'm talking about is America treating crime as -- as something that needs to be handled with policing instead of defunding the police and looking at crime from the perspective that it's a health crisis.

The same way we looked at heroin addiction when it was only black people as 'tough on drugs, war on crime.' We have -- and when it became white people, we looked at it as a public health crisis, as something that needs to be treated.

That's the way we need to look at crime, OK? ... Look at the causes of why people are committing crimes. They are desperate. They're poor. They're undereducated and they are left out to dry but this American system of government.

So if you want to decrease crime, you don't hire police to come in and arrest everybody and brutalize people. If you want to cure crime, then you must go to the source. You must invest in people, you must give people jobs.

So he freely admits that blacks have mental issues. Looking around the nation I’d agree very much that they do.

“...who the f does this turd think he is?....”

Exactly. He’s the NY BLM leader. He’s not elected or even appointed, just a street thug that thinks the world revolves around him and his ilk.
He and his ilk should be targeted for arrest for BLM (burning, looting, murder). Find out who’s funding him. Where does he get his money and direction? THOSE are the SOBs that need to be taken down.

(More Newsome:) ... “black people do not trust politicians. They don’t trust black — they don’t trust Democrats, they don’t trust Republicans”......

So what? They don’t trust other blacks either. ...This hasn’t a thing at all to do with trust. It has to do with the “condition” the blacks have perpetrated on their own communities first and formost.

“””’“You must invest in people, you must give people jobs.”

I was an employer for 40 years. I never GAVE anyone a job.

I gave them an opportunity. If they wanted to work they could stay. If they didn’t want to work then I showed them the door.

Newsome is a deadbeat.....thinks he’s knows when he really hasn’t a clue how the real world works.

When he speaks about education he fails miserably to admit there has to be a willingness to be educated.......Ol’ Oprah found out real fast when she tried to work with the inner city black girls unwilling to do the work of learning. She pulled out and took her programs to African schools.

exactly he was not elected, he was not voted in due to his great past. He is a turd who is dumb and now demands. Screw him as I am done with these ignorant idiots. My patience is done. This is America and I came here to escape a socialist country for the freedoms America gives. If he and the cowards of antifa want to take my freedoms away then they have another thing coming.

Give people jobs? News flash. They don’t want jobs. They want bigger government hand outs.

This is something the people of this country don’t seem to understand anymore in this country!! Our country guarantees equal opportunity for all, it does NOT guarantee equal outcome that is up to the individual!! These kids of today think that healthcare is a human right, a great job is a human right, along with great housing I NEVER saw any of this in our constitution!!

I have to agree. Black areas should have social workers in place of the police. Only non-black areas should be burdened with police departments as punishment for their non-black privilege.

“Give people jobs”? Pray tell, what are they good at? Calling people filthy names? Check. Self-aggrandizing? Check. Not following the most basic directions? Check. Reading or writing? Nope. Numerical skills more complex than counting on one’s fingers? Nope. So please tell us the basis of giving them jobs, and what kind of jobs.

It is kind of a health issue. Commit a crime on my property and it will be very bad for your health. Probably fatal.

AMEN. I saw a saying: No Police, No Peace and I can understand that belief to a certain degree. But the PEACE people are looking is only realized by being right with God through the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

They have to be offered jobs (no handouts), not given them; without them they are just poor spectators to this whole American experience. Jobs are the main reason some foreigners come in here with comparable education levels and even worse English skills but still outperform them.

What we are seeing is the failure to assimilate; at some point the cost will be unacceptable.
