[quote=AN][quote=SK in CV][quote=AN][quote=poorgradstudent]I’m certainly curious how the NRA will respond to the recent tragedies.[/quote]
I’m just as curious to see how the BLM movement and the president respond to the cop massacre.[/quote]
I’m still waiting to see how cops respond to the BLM movement. So far, it’s been mostly to do nothing but dismiss it. That strategy hasn’t worked out well for anyone.[/quote]
Agree. But at the same time, what is the BLM doing about the black on black killing in cities like Chicago?[/quote]
Well, I’m sure BLM supports things like better inner city schools and improving the conditions of poverty that tend to lead to the murders associated with the drug trade.
But this is sort of a red herring argument, as there is plenty of white-on-white killing too. Murder is illegal, and we have an okay if imperfect system for dealing with murderers.
In the short run, there are a lot more reforms that can be done regarding policing than there are in ending poverty and the drug trade. One good proposal I’ve seen is consolidating police forces. Most European countries don’t cede control of the police to local authorities, and overall it seems like our model isn’t working well at all.
