Cops 3: Shoot low boys -- they're ridin' Shetland ponies!

Re: Cops 3: Shoot low boys -- they're ridin' Shetland ponies!

As I travel around I'm continually amazed by the levels of poverty that people allow in their cities/states. If you can build up a low income neighborhood, everybody benefits not just the low income people no matter their color.

Here in Boston, the city was horrified at the homicide rate in the inner city about 25 years ago even though few people outside of mainly 3 neighborhoods were affected. Instead of walling off the place and letting people have it and then sending in cops after a murder was committed, the city got involved in several ways. Obviously a stronger police presence, but beyond that large corporations hired more local kids for summer jobs programs downtown, transit access was improved and development focused on abandoned parcels in these areas. Furthermore 1940's era projects are being replaced with more mixed income developments.

The point of all this is to integrate the people living in these places into the wider society and not keep them out of sight and out of mind. I don't have an answer for the city and statewide problems in places like Baltimore, Detroit, West Virginia or Kentucky. But, is Missouri really that much of a dump? Can't New Orleans with all it has going for it turn itself around? Even in places I've been to like Atlanta and Pittsburgh I'm astounding by the miles long stretches of blight in the middle of these cities.

Then BLM should be hanging out in Chicago to allow YBM to live is safety daily

BLM should be preaching nuclear families and stop this crazy notion that single mothers with 5 kids from 5 different men place these children in a healthy environment

F phing aye already

Let's at least turn back the clock to Good Times!!!

82% of white shooting victims are shot by white people.

Where is the leadership from white leaders?! Why doesn't the white community take responsibility?!

But instead white people just keep buying guns and ammo. I guess their parenting must be bad. Or perhaps there's something wrong with their cranial capacity.

In any case, we should definitely profile whites. They are behind the vast majority of mass murders in the US.

And males... Jesus, males should all be permanently under surveillance. 95% of domestic violence cases are committed by males. They are clearly the product of a failed culture.

It's scary as sh-t to see people who carry this stuff inside them. I saw it where I grew up in the 70s but I really thought the vast majority of white Americans had finally gotten over themselves.

I still think it's getting better -- the isobars are marching relentlessly away from racism. But there will always be a gradient, whether that's urban/rural or regional or whatever.

If what Kepler says is true in that BLM is about wanting more respect for black people's lives, why is it racist to suggest they focus on educating other blacks on the importance of that?

Because to assume what are general social problems are only specific to one group and therefore should be the sole responsibility of said group is: a) Ignorant, b) Horribly racist, and c) Contributes greatly to the said problem.

Local funding of public schools ensures the cycle is never broken. Lift education to at least the state, if not the federal level, and maybe you have a hope. If not, you're just throwing away one generation after another in impoverished places and then shocked, shocked I say that those places have higher crime and drug addiction.

That certainly is a side effect of suburbia, and especially "gated communities", where there's less of a chance to provide that sort of opportunity. Not to mention, apprenticeships seem to have lost favour over automatronics and a media push for colleges and universities. They're coming in a little more now because colleges are so expensive now, so why not embrace it? Do we have so little time through 9-5's, commutes, and family time to be able to help someone in need?

As for your point about hiring kids for summer programs, unemployment and its effects from minimum wage rates have a lot to do with that. I know you're thinking I just want to pay them peanuts because they're kids, but that's not true. The fact of the matter is that a lot of "temporary" part-time jobs seem to have a way of becoming permanent, and any time you raise costs, it's going to result in inflation, even if the fiat dollar were to remain the same. It starts with cutting community costs.

Like states and feds wouldn't be so corrupt to ensure an enslaving school-to-prison system... You got your wish with Common Core, and look how much of a miserable failure that is. In ten years, every résumé will say "bubble filler".

Quite a few years ago (15?), I took a business trip to NYC in which we had a meeting in the city and one with a client in Old Greenwich. We took the train from Union Station to Old Greenwich, a train many on this site have no doubt ridden. It was depressing to witness how overwhelming abject poverty can be and how it can exist so near to both the middle class and the very wealthy and, at the same time, be a universe apart. This is pretty common in most cities, I know, and I've experienced it in the south side of Chicago and even on the island of Jamaica, traveling from the slums of Kingston over the mountains to where the wealthy play. I cannot imagine Rio, and the contrast will be especially stunning this summer.

No point here, just a reflection.

And although its often talked about as having world class standard of living and the fifth richest metro area in the country...MSP can't figure it out. And we have a D state government. Just spend time on Broadway and Penn and you'll know what I'm talking about. No wonder folks are po'd.

Guy heading to jail in Berrien County took a gun off one of the bailiffs and opened fire. Two Bailiffs are dead as well as the shooter
