Ray has been beating the drum for an alternative approach to policing inner cities for years. I’m all for trying different things but I’d also like to see some successful examples in crime ridden American inner cities where actual police presence was reduced and replaced with social programs and these other things he preaches.
How much revenue does Deep Blue Democrat Chicago raise in a year? Why can’t they do anything about Garfield Park or Back of the Yards? Why are people pissing on trees at PAMan’s park?!?!
I’m kind of tired of the left blaming everything on the system and the policies and history and the police and economics and completely glossing over obvious deeply ingrained generational cultural and other issues. It’s so eye roll generic.
25 years ago they tore the projects down and moved a bunch of those people downstate with section 8 vouchers. Crime, homelessness, teenage pregnancy, drug use, poverty, etc all spiked and have remained elevated ever since. Nothing is changing for these people even when the state gives them housing and EBT and other support.
In general, they aren’t breaking the cycle. They aren’t going to college and getting better jobs. They aren’t getting off drugs and making a positive impact on society. Not even the deepest Blue states in the country. What’s missing?
