Agree, completely racist.

No human being wants to be a criminal; they are forced into it by the system.

A better approach is to respect people’s dignity and human rights by providing the wrap-around service to which they are entitled.

I personally am acquainted with numerous people who are employees in our business who were delighted in being criminals and enthusiastically commit crimes even in an absence of needing to. They simply enjoy it. One of them robbed and stabbed a man several years ago just because he was bored. He was arrested, convicted, but served almost no time. I think a couple of them may have murdered people in the past but were never identified as suspects.


But you are seriously mistaken and naive if you think “no one wants to be a criminal”.

This is true. I've known people who shoplift for fun, not because they need the item. I think this happens even with really rich ladies. There's always a few of them in the news (Winona Ryder, Lindsay Lohan).

So to extrapolate, I bet there's people who do other crimes just for fun. Particularly car theft.

Young people are forced into committing car theft and carjacking due to income inequality.

Because they don't earn enough income from their part time jobs at McDonalds to buy the latest phones, basketball shoes, braids, and nails, so they are forced to steal and hijack cars, sell them to chops and bride the gap. Gurl --- you be 6 and 7.

There is no such thing as an "illegal firearm" in US law. Only illegal "posession" exists.

A Glock handgun with an auto sear is, in fact, an illegal firearm.

Wow, I am finally white. My parents made do these things plus a few more. 11. Turn on windshield wipers when it rains. 12. Clear snow from your car before diriving it. 13. Keep you car clean.

Your parents have internalized racism. Minorities don't have free time or the safe environments to do those things you mentioned. They are busy rushing between three jobs and dodging a hail of bullets.

You are racist as well.

People forget that a traffic stop was the reason Oklahoma City bomber Terry McVeigh was captured and brought to justice quickly. Pulling people over for minor traffic infractions catches a lot of people that do bad things.

“ Charlie was on patrol working the day shift when the Oklahoma City bomb exploded. He was initially dispatched from his area to assist, but almost instantly was called off and told to remain in his own area. A short time later, Charlie passed a yellow Mercury missing a registration tag. Charlie slowed to let the driver of the Mercury get ahead of him. As he did, Charlie hit his overhead lights to begin the vehicle stop. As the driver pulled his vehicle over, Charlie got a strange feeling about the occupant. Even though the stop was for a minor violation, Charlie sensed something more serious was going on besides a missing registration tag.“

I hope you are burned alive on a metro.

It's more likely that you would be pushed onto the tracks.

I don’t know which of these responses are sarcastic or not.

That’s a long way off from proactive policing 2025.

I’m confused. Who’s the racist now?

I don’t disagree on either point. But, at the end of the day, decisions still need to made about where and how to allocate police resources. But what’s the alternative to using data to make those decisions? Using gut feelings and political pressure? Is that better?

The solution is to dismantle and defund the police. We need less so-called "law enforcement," not more.

You'll see how that works out in New York by March 2026.

There is no escape from New York.
