Or we can address the huge wealth discrepancy in America where the top 1% have nearly half the country's wealth.tehehe I am kind of a hippieAnd what do you think plays into those social dysfunctions. Will you argue they are born dysfunctional or will you admit that there are societal factors involved.
Will you admit the result is the same? And the policing problem is the same? What are you a hippie?
"He mugged and robbed that old man because society made him do it"
Does it matter WHY he did it? The cops handcuff them for a reason. You can argue being criminally inclined isnt their fault. I dont care. Nor should a cop. Cops aren't social workers. So long as the cops get the criminals I'll let the liberals take care of them at home.
"There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved."

I just think if we would like to decrease crime we should consider the causing factors and eliminate them. Silly me.
I think that in this case, of the kids being handcuffed... there is no way that 99.9% of them should be minorities.
I have worked in low income schools/daycares/afterschool programs/coached basketball teams etc. and I can tell you these behavioral problems are much more economic than racial. The white kids acted out just as much, if not more (to get extra "street cred")
If there is such a discrepancy in kids being handcuffed it is much more likely that minority kids are being treated/punished more harshly than their white counterparts.
Your missing the point. I don't care if the thug beating people in the park and grabbing purses is doing it for economic reasons or not.
Your telling me blacks are economically and socially driven to crime tells me we need to watch blacks closer.
If you want to work on economics to preclude the next generation of blacks being criminal fine. But in the meantime public safety demands some honesty.
Didn't LBJ do just that in the 1960's?
Yet, the murder rate increased in the 1960's.
Liberals are truly out to lunch.
