We must combat the drug and poverty epidemic but we are failing miserably at that.
Plenty of drugs and poverty in poor country towns and poor suburbs and teens aren’t shooting each other. Black youth is a different game. I assume they all are carrying at this point.

We need stop question and frisk in Pittsburgh. Cops know who does these shootings. If they can’t be aggressive in their job. We tried this leftist experiment long enough. Time for police to roll up their sleeves. Sadly they can’t due to weak leadership that likes to pretend. NYC finally had great leadership with Giuliani and Bloomberg. Now they bought into the fake world and boom they are like us. Stupid.

It can be started when they’re young. If parents/guardians know there’s going to be consequences for themselves if the children get out of line, future parents/guardians will know there’s consequences. Doing nothing continues the behavior.

What are you doing since you have all the answers? You complain ad nauseam so I’ll assume you are concerned. What are you doing about it? Or do you simply get off on being a miserable do nothing complainer

I’m certainly not dismissing options to stop these poor entitled criminals from continuing on their path of crime/violent crime. One would think that if you’re in the business of dealing with these criminals that you’d be open to doing something different to head them off to begin with

What’s wrong with holding their parents/guardians responsible versus “that will do absolutely nothing”?

It’s funny how you claim someone is miserable because they don’t agree with you or have the same standards. I’m providing options versus doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Perhaps coming to a city near you. Even extreme Lib city approves, though very sad that violent crime is able to get so bad to begin with in

ROBOCOP US city votes to allow killer crimefighting police robots to patrol the streets

But there are countless poverty stricken folks dying in poor country towns. These country towns are drug infested and is no less a threat. Country towns cannot compare to dense urban communities facing decades of neglect. My caseload is overwhelmingly white and suburban. Heroin and opioids is doing to white communities what crack did to black communities in the 80s and 90s. The difference is white addicts are considered sick and not joked about daily in media and print. The government is throwing money at this new epidemic while inner cities were left to rot.

I work for an agency that was started by a black woman to combat the crack epidemics impact on not only black children but families. There was no funding to be had for the crack epidemic. Fast forward we are growing leaps and bounds with endless revenue streams. We went from virtually all black clients to just 30%.

Through all of this addiction and death there are children. These children will be coming of age soon enough and there will be ramifications.

Again what are you doing or are you in denial like that Erie guy?

What country towns are no less of a threat than cities/towns, and please do compare the numbers of people, crime rates, violence, shootings, homicides, etc?

Lol at denial. The stats and demographic don’t lie. The truth is simply unpopular…and without places to put these poor entitled criminals it’ll continue to get worse doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

I am not in the business of dealing with murderous maniacs. You continue to pull BS out of your deflated a$$. I have never been introduced or a part of anything criminal. I do not associate with or pal around with felons. I come from a dignified upstanding black family. Black people are not monolithic which is the case of most races in the US. The only time that rich and poor black folks intermingle is for two hours on Sunday during church services.
