There are policies that put police in higher contact with lower income areas. More often than not its the practices and behaviors that cause these interactions. Having a wife who has worked 18 years in criminal justice gives me a pretty good perspective.

Let we give the revolving example. Guy is popped for simple possession. He isn’t arrested but cited. He’ll likely get diversion or fine and go on if he appears. He fails to appear. Now, there is a a failure to appear warrant issued. He’s popped again (because people like this break laws all the time) and due to warrant he is booked into the system. This is the pattern and just one example.

You can’t imagine the self inflicted, stupid crap people do, or the he disparate mentality. You can’t fathom the domestics assaults that often lead to these things. Where others in the same boat call the cops to come in and deal with this garbage.

Driving on suspended and then breaking the traffic laws that get them pulled over again. They don’t pay their fines. In my county, these folks are overwhelmingly white, but it’s the same ****.

What police need to do is stop responding to domestics in urban areas. Let those communities figure it out. Robbed? Oh, well. Better have insurance. Assaulted? Too bad. Don’t call the police.

If you look at the stats you’ll find that there is a better case for discrimination against males by police. The ratio of men to women killed by police is far more slanted.

Laugh all you want, but, I'll equate it to this, from personal experience with donating money and time to the inner city schools of Cincinnati.

Yesterday, the black clergy met with city council and mayor, and isn't it amazing they want more resources put into the schools and communities..........problem......they've been promised and told for decades this is what the Dem party was going to do, yet, never has, and the system is worse and gone backwards for the last 20-30 years under Dem leadership here in the city, who promised time and time again, to fix the issues, which, they are still talking about.......needing fixing.

First hand experience, not an overall generalization, just my experience. So, why is it that the same Dem talking points exist and not only still exist, but, have gotten worse, and how in holy Heaven, is it somehow different now? It's not, same lip service and same delivery of failed hollow promises.

Because until the black community realizes that all these urban problems have been overseen for decades by democratic leadership , it’s very advantageous to have these problems surface every 4 years . It truly amazes me how the Democratic Party has been able to hold power in even one large city for multiple years much less all the major cities , without its population saying I think it’s time to try something new . I just assume since the left stays in power that the people that keep voting them in like what’s happening . That’s why it’s hard for me to have sympathy for deep blue states and cities that b!tch about things being bad or taxes being too high . 🤷‍♂️

Not too amazing when your average IQ in those areas hovers around 80.

Once all statues of evil White people are gone they will move onto something else. Its always something with these people. Always the perpetual victim. I'm still surprised they haven't gone after the largest signs of White Supremacy: Mt Rushmore, Stone mountain, and the Statue of Liberty.

It’s the result of decades of brainwashing done in public schools.

I am waiting for the complaints of colonial architecture. How many people are going to need to bulldoze their own homes?

I texted one of the clergymen, who I grew up with, and asked why he was wasting his time with these political whores.....his response, they have the power to help change, I said that is the problem........take that sh** away from these liars and self promoting corrupt do nothings who have done nothing but been consistent in their wilingess to outright lie and do nothing of which they said they would.

Nothing has changed since we were young, the same inner city schools we volunteered at in High School are worse off than 2 decades ago......yet, still going around the same circle of ineptitude and talking points.

I don't know what A-D are or whose table this is. In the real world, nobody goes to prison for personal use possession anymore. It's only dealers, after multiple prior arrests, and whatever they do get is probably something they plead down to. I'm pretty libertarian on drugs although my views have been tempered somewhat by attending multiple funerals for children of friends who od'd on heroin.

This is from the United States Sentencing Commission and from my understanding represents federal law. The accompanying text states that the minimum penalty is what is represented here, but may be higher if there are prior convictions. Granted, I don't have a good idea of whether 5g of pure meth is an outrageous amount (as 100kg of weed is).

Regardless, I still believe in personal responsibility, and generally people aren't forced to buy and use drugs so the dealer IMO is not responsible for what people freely choose to do to themselves. I also don't believe that prison rehabilitates drug addicts, or that former convicts reentering society (or their families) are necessarily any better off than prior to serving time in jail.

They ( as in anyone ) that thinks I will willingly pay another person anything , for what any of my ancestors actions were when they were alive , will have better luck digging their bones up and getting the money from them . That’s just a fact . I don’t do reparations .

If reparations are passed I will close up shop and go work for someone else because they will tag business for the money.

Riddle me this then. Why after decades of Democrat governance and leadership has the African American continued to decline in America and fail to preform like other minorities. They certainly aren't represented by Republicans by and large.

African Americans as a group are declining?

I am in full support of reparations for any African American who wants them. Give ‘em a reasonable sum of money and a one-way flight to Lagos if they’re so confident that their ancestors being brought to this country is their reason for being destitute today, and immediately put an end to affirmative action for anyone choosing to remain an American citizen.

I haven't heard anybody say they're declining as a group. Just that they're oppressed.

Why hasn't the oppression hit other minorities similarly, like Asians or India for example. Are the Democrat leaders targeting only certain people of color?

Probably for the same reason y’all’s talking points don’t change either. The perpetual ignorant pissing contest

Just curious...does anybody know how many generations removed you need to be from the original born in Africa ancestor before you are no longer an African-American and are just an American? Same question for Irish, Italian or any Nationality hyphened Americans.

I ask because I just don’t see very many people with Revolutionary War era ancestors calling themselves English-Americans. 🤷‍♀️

Wouldn’t those hyphenated American terms be more culturally appropriate for naturalized citizens since they actually were born under different nationalities?

I'm not disputing that democratic policies have been bad. I just dispute that AA's have been declining. But it's not just democratic policies. Maybe because the Asians weren't slaves for 2 centuries, or whatever. The war on drugs targets urban areas and blacks tend to live there. I'm sure there are lots of reasons. Democratic policies have been bad for blacks, but so have Republican policies.

Ain't mine.......ain't part of y'all, I, unlike the majority, am just an individual who looks at the peasants and serfs infighting whilst the king's fiefdom continues to laugh at all of you.

I just pointed out my experience.

I do agree, it is a pissing contest, and it's political gamesmanship and the worst thing for the country. That's why we deal with the same issues decade after decade, and the political parties smile while the masses still eat it up.
