[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black on black violence and police violence against blacks are in some ways part and parcel of the same thing, that being a lack of regard for poor minorities, just look at how many of those black on black murders go unsolved.   In many cases they are barely even  investigated, with [b]police turning a blind eye to the violence rather than aggressively getting the violent offenders off the street.[/quote][/b]

If the police took an aggressive stand in dealing with the violent offenders you can be sure that the BLM and their ilk will be accusing them of brutality.[/quote]

The police have gotten themselves into a chicken and egg situation by devaluating and abusing poor communities, to the point of those communities viewing the cops as being just as bad as the criminals who prey on them.  As a result, poor communities don't trust them and don't cooperate with them.  The police need to work on improving that relationship, and that will then help toward being able to solving the distrust, improving the culture and getting the violent offenders off the street.[/quote]

Here's a link to Police Social Work - http://www.naswnyc.org/?page=77

a solution or an opening of Pandora's box?

same can be said of schools now that the disciplinary guidelines have been watered down - While Restorative practices are important as proactive measures, how much do we blur the lines between schools and homes?  Would you prefer - as a parent - to deal with your own child's disciplinary issues, or would you rather have the state take over by involving social workers and psychologists?

That's the root.  Either handle your own family by creating community, or allow the government to intervene - either through social programs or sadly, violence.
