BLM protests shuts down the Magnificent Mile in Chicago

[Anonymous]

When I see the spike up in violent crime in DC (receive the alerts on my phone), especially in areas that heretofore have been considered quite safe, I wish that the cops got more aggressive.

Of course violent crime is horrible, and of course blacks hate being victimized by criminals - but, one expects criminals to be criminals.

But when cops are the ones engaging in criminal behavior, it's not only the crime that's horrible, it's the betrayal as well that makes it even worse - that the people who are supposed to be protecting you are the ones victimizing you.

And the fact that the number of black on black deaths exceeds by many times the number of those from police misconduct/brutality makes no difference?

You shouldn't be shot and killed by your own government.

No, but you should also - as a parent - be responsible for your own kids. When parents lose control of their kids, the government takes over - social services or jail. That's the way it goes, folks.

Of course, we can say that poverty is the root of all evil. But again, with social programs (WIC, Medicaid, Job Corps, migrant training, you name it), why do people stay within victim mode?

We've basically fucked ourselves by ignoring how to wean people off programs.

The answer isn't more government. Instead, we need more transition services. Furthermore, mandate sensitivity training for police.

But most importantly? Parents NEED to be parents. I don't care how goddamn poor you are. Your kids come first. There are more than a few success stories out there of people overcoming the odds.

Like Sandra Bland? She was college educated...didn't help her much. or how about the black guy in Florida, who was married and the drummer for his local church...cop really didn't care when he fired multiple shots into his chest. goodness lets not count the stories you dont hear about it. i read one on Huffington post and it made my skin crawl

The way to be respected is to act respectable and respect yourself. **I do realize that this is a completely separate issue from the racism that BLM are protesting.

and a white guy walked into an elementary school and shot 30 kids in the damn head point blank. White people kill me, what respect have you shown for your own lives. So you dont respect black people? you guys are walking on to college campuses and murdering people, walking into movie theaters and killing innocent people. why should white people then be respected? Lets not get into the REAL elephant in the room, the crack cocaine and guns placed into black communities during the Regan Era. Nobody EVER brings that up like they dont bring up the Prison industrial complex...how for decades black make up 8 percent of all Jail inmates..now within 2 decades its 25 percent. Those things weren't accidents

You guys make it look like cops never shoot white poors. That's why "All Lives Matter" pisses you off so much.

Unfortunately, liberal arts degrees in the U.S. require zero brains. Admissions are not competitive either. So "college-educated" is not descriptive at all in this context.

I didn't say I was siding with the cops. Clearly, there's a sickness deeply rooted in the system. I suggested sensitivity training. Did you read that? However, that doesn't excuse the fact that many parents are shitty parents.

Stop trying to remove blame from the other side as well.

It goes both ways. If society is unjust, then at least try to fight it by dealing with your own children. Have some pride.

I knew the PP shooter in Colorado was white once they reported he walked out alive. I didn't need to wake up to see his mugshot for confirmation. I just knew.

Well im unfortunately if my child commits a crime the "affluenza" defense doesn't work for them, like for others. Please dont tell black people about pride, we have plenty of it other wise BLM wouldn't exist
