Boston Democrats dig the city's grave: What better way to destroy a city than to forbid police funding during a historic crime wave?
American Thinker ^ | 10/11/23 | Michael Letts

Posted on 10/11/2023 8:18:45 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Let me paint a scenario for you.

There’s a raging fire, right? And you call the fire department to come and take care of it.

You’re expecting a truck to roll in along with a dozen firefighters to fight back against the flames and keep people safe.

But then only two people show up with a smaller fire truck that barely has the capacity to shoot any water.

You make a phone call to the higher-ups, demanding that more firefighters come to take care of the flames. But the person who’s in charge denies you, saying there’s no real harm in letting the fire burn on.

Scary, isn’t it? But that’s exactly what’s happening with Boston right now.

The city is going through a massive crime wave, perhaps the highest it’s ever seen. And the police are powerless at this point in time, with not enough officers available to address the problem and those on the payroll already working themselves to the bone.

Now, according to Fox News, a bill that would’ve provided $3.4 million in necessary funding for the police force has been voted down by a number of Democrat city council members. As a result, police will continue to be shorthanded as crime climbs.

Half of the city council’s members voted against the funding, citing concerns over the Boston Region Intelligence Center (BRIC) gang database, insinuating that it unfairly targets black and Hispanic youths. Although that is under investigation by the state’s attorney general, nothing has been found to indicate that this is the case.

What’s more, police commissioner Michael Cox is “dumbfounded” over the decision, noting that it’s not about “vilifying people of color,” but “identifying the people who are driving the violent crime in our city.”

A distinction without a difference.

Things like this wipe out any sympathy I could feel for them.

NOTE TO BOSTON POLICE COMMISSIONER & OFFICERS:

There are MANY small towns & villages across the USA that would be DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU.

GET OUT COMPLETELY WHILE YOU CAN.

Could it possibly be that 99% of the gangs are comprised of black and Hispanic youths?

I swear that when this whole trans business started I thought it was a satire from babylon bee or something...to show how stupid liberals are.

Who would have guessed that they would embrace it 100%.

During the next election I am going to print 1000 flyers telling people to make sure they vote democrat, to make sure that transitioning children remains top priority. And then I am going to distribute them in very democrat regions.

I think even lifelong democrats are starting to see how insane their party has gotten.

it’s not about “vilifying people of color,” but “identifying the people who are driving the violent crime in our city.”

It's a huge difference when dealing with brain dead white liberal 'elties' overcome with guilt about slavery -(that ended more than a hundred years ago).

It's really NOT about vilifying people of color - it's about saving the honest people of color in the city and the people 'not of color'... saved from violent criminals. It's easy for us to understand because we don't have illusions 'we're keeping blacks out of chains'... Biden's such a fool.

So, Gullible stupid guilty whites need to understand they can keep their guilt and still not inflict the rest of us with violent criminals just because the current crop of criminals are 'of color'.

Just what do these idiots on the City Council think will happen when there are too few police to keep the city safe
especially when there is already a crime wave? I see two possible results. There will be a mass exodus of residents and businesses and armed vigilante groups will soon be dealing harsh justice to wrong doers.

New gun control also in the works. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbi_vKxG7VE

The following is not directed at Freepers, but more generally: If you didn’t vote Dem and live in Boston (or Massachusetts for that matter), it’s probably time to move. If you did vote Dem, please stay in Boston (or Massacusetts) — don’t bring your stupidity to other places. Enjoy your crime wave.

Boston’s main problem is there are so many college students there. People would be amazed at the number of colleges there. It has an army of brain washed girls who vote. I was just there and they are everywhere.

Because blacks and browns commit MORE crime than the melanin-lacking whitebreads, the politicians told law enforcement to let them commit their crime, otherwise the statistics would look bad as they would reveal the fact that blacks and browns commit more crime.

Better to have more crime than to admit the reality that blacks and browns commit more crime.

So very true. But just watch any number of thousands and videos out there where these girls/women get directly confronted to defend and give substance to all the leftist pablum they repeat and dearly cling to.

It’s always the same. At first they spit vituperitive rhetorical fire, then they briefly stop and a completely blank stare overcomes them and suddenly they realize they have no earthly idea what or why they believe what they claim to believe. And this is repeated over and over again. Absolutely no cognitive or rational thought, just raw emotion from whatever celebrity told them to resist or be angry about.

This is courtesy of the drug cartels I don’t know why no one in authority will simply call out the democrats for selling out to the drug cartels it’s completely obvious.

Fighting crime is racist.

You can be racist and have a safe city or virtue signal and watch civilization collapse.

The young girlies - they're social creatures, who want to fit in, so they want to be included with the "in" thing and not be left out. Feminism is a fad, a destructive one, but they don't want to be left out because all the cool girls are in, even though they don't really have an understanding of it, can't really give a logical explanation. It's just cool to identify with it, be part of the herd.
