[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's astounding that the police let crime run rampant in protest of a paltry 2.5% budget cut, which also hit other city departments due to COVID revenue shortfall. It's almost as though the police union is running an extortion racket on the city.[/quote] Or it could be because of progressive morons they elect to be judges and prosecutors who let criminals out with a stern talking to after multiple crimes are committed. What's the point of policing if you keep arresting the same one man crime waves over and over and over again yet progressive Democrats keep letting them back out on the streets due to some insanely warped idea of progressive criminal justice? They made sure as hell they don't punish for retail theft and crime, now it is a free for all looting binge, because they know if cops catch them they'll be released anyway because locking them up would be racist and oppression. [/quote] Yeah, that’s all gonna need some cites. Because every story I’ve heard about people calling the police to report crimes has the police saying “we don’t do that.” Maybe the police could start to do their jobs instead of tormenting people. Actual policing might help. [/quote] I think you’ve bought into a narrative that all police just go around tormenting people and that’s just not true. There are bad apples, yes, but it’s not all police. You are posting an emotion, not by verifiable metrics. Additionally, why don’t you do a Ward 8 right along and 3am and have your bubble of oppression deflated a little? [b]Being a beat cop is an incredible stressful job dealing with violent or insane people[/b].[/quote] Wouldn't it be great if they actually resourced community services to handle these "violent or insane people" to get them on-the-ground, before-the-crime resources so that they wouldn't commit crimes? Like actually give them what they need rather than just arresting them, which does no one any good? Kind of like, oh, I don't know, reallocating those police dollars to community services that will actually at least attempt to solve the problem and not just put a band-aid on it? [/quote] What are these "community services" that would be as effective at preventing crime as law enforcement? [/quote] How has law enforcement in Philadelphia done so far in preventing these crimes? Law enforcement actually sucks at crime prevention. They're not so great in post-crime work, either, but they really head into the crapper when you're talking about crime prevention.[/quote] How do you expect law enforcement to “prevent crimes” from happening? Shouldn’t people just not loot and maaaaaybe sort of be accountable for their own behavior and not commit the crimes? Or is that too much to ask for? It’s always someone else’s fault and not the criminal with progressives. [/quote] Truly, what’s your defense for the vast criming of the GOP in general and Donald Trump in particular? [/quote]
