They aint sending the National Guard to enforce the law, that's the polices job and against the constitution. I dunno why this keeps on being brought up

I love you, you know.
Damn, man this shyt hurts my heart...
The guy was just doing his job.. sweeping the floor.. making a living... Not bothering ANYONE. Also, based on his posture it looks like he had some kind of physical handicap...damn, man...
I’m arguing for more militarized policing efforts. I don’t care what that looks like.

i cant imagine the community is gonna like the kind of policing it takes to accomplish that. so the situation is just fukked
If Los Angeles 80's and 90's, Darryl Gates, Rodney King, etc., is any indicator, yeah there's gonna be some resentment and hostility to say the least.
Yep. I grew up in RF which is right next to Maywood. Part of that is them not wanting any spillover from Maywood coming into RF with the type of people that live in that town.
Also, Maywood is headquarters to the Cook County Sherrif’s department which I believe is the largest Sherrif’s department in the country.
it wouldn't look like 60 people shot in a weekend
it should be left up to the residents what they want to do about calling in the national guard, but this is way too many people being shot. something has to change
basically.
Its really a microcosm of the situation facing the mid west. Its the worst of the worst.
but enough is enough.
Right.
Issue curfews, drop the hammer.
This hearts and mind's talk ain't working.
I'm as far left as possible on most social and economic issues, but there are other options and if we use them the outcomes won't be pretty.
I dont see the government creating decent jobs just for the fukk out of it out of nowhere either.
These are the options, and none of them are pretty.
They ARE effective however.
The many suffer because of the few.
So a good kid that was born in Englewood through no fault of his own deserves to be harassed daily by a militarized police unit?
You want it to be sweet out there but thats a privilege that has to be earned and those neighborhoods haven't earned it.
If we're gonna champion black excellence, independence, and achievement, the onus is on us to get it done. These people don't care about us. We know this. Lets act like it.
They don't have jobs for you. They don't have opportunities for you. What are we gonna do about it.
I'm NOT condoning brutality. At all. Any cop or law enforcement agent who engages in this should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. However...there is a firm medium which can be set and which must be set. These measures must be taken.

I’m from Brooklyn a place where stars are born.
Militarized policing doesn’t work. Brazil and Mexico have tried and it and their murder rates exploded after they did. Plus big cities for example like the city I’m from NYC had 1.5k-2k murders in the 1980s and early 90s have since declined. There is a blue print that can be implemented. There is a lot of contributing factors why murders declined in NYC. Broken windows policing led to decline of crime here.
Gang injunctions need to be used. Also the community has to get involved because there is so much the government who despise you will do. More after school programs, Rec centers,also teaching the youth the value of work and staying in school. The issue is is yes these young nikkas grew up in broken homes. However there has to be a culture of self respect and shaming. Shaming irresponsible sexual practices ie oops babies, encourage young black men to get into blue collar trades by having black men in those fields mentoring them, and encourage an environment of education and excellence similar to African and Caribbean communities. This is what must be done for the community to survive.

You're too idealistic. Of course, this is what must be done. However, its not realistic.
And to compare militarization of the police in Brazil and Mexico, places that don't have the regulation in place that we have here, is not a good example to reference.
What you are asking for is not going to happen because it would mean that we would have to start regulating the sexual habits of black men in women in the ghetto and you know that's not going to happen. To hit this shyt at it's core, we have to start at the family level. 1) We would have to somehow convince these poor black men and women to stop having sex or having children out of wedlock because they can't afford it. 2) We would have to somehow convince these poor black men and women to get married to keep black families in tact. 3) We would have to somehow convince these poor black men and women to take their education seriously.
These are serious mental shifts that will take a few generations to break. Possible, if it wasn't for the fact that out of wedlock births, single motherhood, and a disregard for formal education is increasing at alarming rates in mainstream American society. It is not realistic to expect from a demographic, that has lower levels of education and wealth, to operate inversely to trends that are already taking place in broader American society. In fact, these trends will be more pronounced at this level of society.
And to be honest, "in-tact families", "education", and "self-respect" are considered to be middle class ideas. Until the issue of "safety" is dealt with first, you can't move up the pyramid to focusing on "middle class" ideas i.e. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.
Solutions are needed now that will have an immediate effect. We address the safety issue first, then we can go on to address jobs, education, and family.

i love how y'all promote judge dredd shyt, as if shyt like tha brutality & corruption won't happen, considering tha reality of tha first statement. What precedent has been set where entire law enforcements have been held accountable for their actions? Also i didn't know having tha onus of responsibility on us meant to call to a stronger cac law agency to 'control these monsters for us'
yall reactionary nikkas kill me with tha quick fix bs. What happens when tha *insert us law agency here* has to leave for whatever reason? Do you intend for them to stay indefinitely? Do you think tht tha conditions tht created this will magically wash away with this increased military presence? Or do you hope for a more 'final' solution?
What is your end game? Cause yall ain't no different than tha reactionary nikkas back in tha 90s tht called for tha Clinton administration to start bammin nikkas heavy, and look how tht turned out. Yall thought tha problem would go away, but we just ended up with more fatherless nikkas. Even Clinton said he regrets signing off on tht shyt.
