I personally can’t think of a close family member who has been a victim of a crime. If they have they didn’t tell me. I have had family members who were victimized by the police who “lawfully” arrested based on “suspicion”. Just saying.

I assume the prosecutor would want you on the jury. The prosecutor and the defense are doing everything to win the case. They are obligated to do so for their clients. It happens the other way round as well. If anyone has been convicted of a crime the prosecutors try to keep them off juries.

On the Jimmy Fallon show it was the 6 for both reasons: The area code and the number of cities.

Astronomically high compared to what?

No, it’s not some social cataclysm or great failure of society. Gang violence has ALWAYS been with us and it is a lot less worse today than it was in the past. Civil War is a failure of society. Economic depressions are a failure of society.

Double Standards? If Hope was a dude we would have been calling for his head years ago over the DV accusations. And in reality he probably would be off the team.(We’re not talking about the NFL here. The USNT has standards) C’mon, fam!

Based on your argument feet are sex organs because some people find them sexy.

Being attracted to something that shows signs of past fertility doesn’t make sense either. The breasts and their size are not a good proxy for fertility, period.

This is not true at all. There are many cultures where women’s breast are not sex organs. Where women bare all and it’s not a big deal.

The same people who are hating Kap/praising Ali today would have hated on Ali/praised Jesse back in the day. It’s the past/present split. Black activists from the yesteryear are okay. Talking about racism and discrimination is fine as long as we are talking about past racism that we have apparently overcome. On the…

The difference between cops shooting black people and gang members killing black people is that: All black people are potential targets of police officers. Gang members largely kill other gang members. All black people are potential victims of police profiling and discrimination. Most black people are not in gangs and…

Asserting “everything is good in any community” is dishonest. Black American has made more gains in the past 30 years than any other period of our history. The idea that somehow most Black Americans are impoverished, or caught in cycles of crime and despair is false. Black Americans do take opportunities when they…

There are plenty of shootings on the north side as well.

What is interesting is that crime has gone down as the city as gotten less white.

Can you show a good study that links “tough policing” with drops in crime. In truth, improvement in the standards of living of the poor is actually the major reason for drops in crime.

First, a cop killing a unarmed citizen, no matter what they were doing, is wrong. Cops aren’t judges as well, they can’t dish out Capital punishment whenever they like. Second, a citizen being shot while walking her children is wrong. However, the difference is that the first is committed by a representative the law,…

With nearly 3 million people.

That’s NOT typical, at all. Show me more than one weekend that had 50 shootings.

We are still in a prohibition era! We’ve been in one for nearly 80 years. And there is still organized crime. It was still more violent in that era than today.

Are you asking if dropping a basketful of bus, illegal?
