This was published a few weeks back... but it's still timely, and it's entirely possible some of you are not familiar with this writer, Heather MacDonald. She tends to write most frequently on crime (with a focus on NYC crime specifically). 

 

You can agree or disagree... love her or hate her... and I don't myself always agree with 100% of what she writes (though who agrees 100% with anyone?)  But, I do think her articles pretty compelling and from my novice eyes anyway seem to be rooted in a good understanding of crime, policing and the delicate balance between the two. If nothing else, it's a very interesting read: http://www.city-journal.org/html/back-bedlam-14403.html

 

Now, back to my gardening I go... I hope everyone's enjoying their weekend!

 

 

Very good article and pretty much on the money.

Isn't this referred to as "the Ferguson effect"?

A big focus in Chicago run by Obamas former chief of staff Ransm, liberal poster oh, Emmanual. How's that worked out? Shitty if you live their.

 

Our illustrious POTUS has done more to disable American police forces than he has ISIS. Cops are in the run, can't blame them, and ISIS is in the offensive. Should we have more years of this craziness?

Why can't the African American community see that it was under Obama's leadership, or lack of same, that this all went downhill for them.

BLM started it's racist organization 3 years ago. Under Obama's watch!

 

Can you blame the Cops for not sticking their necks out to help a community when they hear "Pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon" or

"What do we want? Dead Cops! When do we it? Now!" The police are now both vilified and the new victims of black on black crime if they dare take action!

 

They now sit back and watch in an act of self preservation as black communities across our nation slowly destroy themselves!

THIS is Obama's legacy to Black America! What a shame!
