[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People jumping straight to El Salvador and Giuliani are playing right into this guy's hands.  The options aren't stop and frisk and desaparecidos or "guess it's my turn to get carjacked by 13 year olds at gunpoint!  Fair is fair!"

We don't need to violate the Constitution to paper arrests.  The problem in DC is not that people aren't willing to "break a few eggs" by rounding up innocent people.  The problem is that guilty people - people caught mid-crime IN THE STOLEN CAR - are not getting their arrests papered.  We don't need to round up innocent people to intimidate criminals, we just need to actually enforce the laws on the books.  Even if it's a teenager, even if it's a poor person.  If you have an illegal gun, you should go to jail.  If you steal a car, you should go to jail.  Not everyone who looks like you, just you.  Every time.[/quote]

And we need [b]Norwegian style rehabilitative jails,[/b] and economic opportunity and clean, healthy environments for people in poverty. We can't police and arrest our way out of that.

When the jailers are as criminal as the jailed, you can't police as arrest your way out of that. [/quote]

Ah yes, Norway where one can kill 77 people, the vast majority who are youth— and get a max 21 years in jail and be up for parole after 10. And where you get to play playstation!
