    Over a hundred people under the age of 18 have been shot in Philadelphia this year. There's been 1,139 people shot in total in Philadelphia and yet BLM want to defund the police , you couldn't make it up .

    Could be because Philadelphia is right across the river from Camden and a 90 minute drive from Newark, each of which defunded (in Camden's case even abolished) their own police and saw massive drops in crime as a result - 51% and 41% respectively.

    Keith Benson, president of the Camden Education Association, a teacher's union, says the crime rate has fallen largely because gentrification is pushing out residents living on the margins. “Correlation is not causation,” he says.


    Neighborhoods that were struggling with violence are being transformed. “The people are not there anymore,” Benson says. “That type of thing really has nothing to do at all with the police.

    In 2011, then governor Chris Christie proposed eliminating the Camden police department as a cost saving measure, alongside tax incentives meant to bring in new businesses. By laying off police officers and rehiring them as county employees instead of city workers, Camden saved almost $90,000 per officer. With the savings, Thomson, the chief, hired hundreds of new officers at much lower salaries.

    How would reparations work anyway. Do poor white people need to pay too? They didn’t benefit from slavery, it decreased the availability of jobs and pay for them. Do Italians need to pay reparations to the rest of Europe for Roman expansion , how about Germany for WW2. How much do the UK owe us? How far back do you go?

    Anyone who starts talking about reparations quickly moves on to talking about how the Jews have all the money.

    The very most of the people shot in Philly are black, Philly , so it's that many out of 650k.

    No wonder 80% of African Americans want police maintained or increased.

    You pay for looting through increased insurance prices, flight of business and capital then the flight of high taxpayers resulting in less taxes for welfare and social programs. It’s lose lose. Not well thought out.

    The looting and burning of businesses in these protests largely burnt out black owned businesses, and businesses in black communities.

    Many of them will never reopen.

    The progressives and left activists there, same as here, are massively middle or upper middle class.

    No skin off their nose as they preach to the working class, they aren't the ones bearing the fallout.

    Sadly you're right.

    Trump is a clown without a doubt, but the lunatics on the other side of the debate are infinitely more dangerous.

    No need to worry. Biden is not left wing and Kamala Harris is not left wing. They have just modified their opinions in the recent past to hoover up those politically correct votes.

    When the election is over a lot of people are going to be very disappointed with Biden and Harris. They will change nothing.

    They should defund the police to help rebuild these businesses to help the black community get jobs ECT lol

    Well black council members in New York don't seem to want to defund the police either

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/10/nyregion/defund-police-nyc-council.html

    With New York City on the cusp of cutting $1 billion from the Police Department, a city councilwoman, Vanessa L. Gibson, told her colleagues that enough was enough.

    She acknowledged that some Council members, spurred by the movement to defund the police, were seeking to slash even more from the department’s budget. But she pointed out that her constituents did not agree.

    They “want to see cops in the community,” Ms. Gibson said.

    “They don’t want to see excessive force. They don’t want to see cops putting their knees in our necks,” she said. “But they want to be safe as they go to the store.”


    Laurie Cumbo, a Black councilwoman from Brooklyn who is majority leader, compared calls to defund the police to “colonization” pushed by white progressives. Robert Cornegy Jr., a Black councilman also from Brooklyn, called the movement “political gentrification.”

    Figuring out how to handle violence is one of the most complicated parts of the effort to defund the police. Overall, serious crime in New York City has not jumped this year, but murders and shootings have: The city is on pace to to surpass 800 shootings for the first time in three years.

    There have been 793 shootings as of Aug. 2, compared with 450 over the same period last year. The shootings have fueled a 31 percent increase in homicides: As of Aug. 2, 237 people had been killed, compared with 181 people by the same time in 2019

    Reverse the roles in a "white" area. The blatant display of racism is disgusting and the fact they are not even trying to hide it is as bad as its promotion by the media etc

    The few white supremacists that exist are probably loving this. They don't even have to work to separate the races anymore, "progressives" are doing the work for them.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    The irony of it is ,the BLM protests are probably going to help trump get re elected . I'd be a more of a left leaning guy but seeing how far the left has gone I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be voting for them if I lived in the states

    National Geographic has put up a massive BLM sign on the side of a building
    which is on the opposite side of the street where National Geographic has boarded up all their offices. ................

    If that sh1t was going on outside of my house, I'd want to be armed to the absolute teeth.

    Pure b0llixology that carry on. That's not a protest, that's pure intimidation.

    The left is effectively dead or imploding all over the Western world.

    Across most of Europe, it's wiped out electorally.

    I'd be left economically and always voted left prior to 2016.

    Impossible to now, deranged priests at this stage.

    Lets hope the old fashioned, rational left make a comeback. There's a lot of dissent lately from the 'normal' left, our own Angela Nagle gives a great critique on the woke left in her articles and podcasts

    This is graphic. BLM beats a whilte woman and pulls a man from his car and beats him continuously. The said white woman was attacked from behind and pounced on by a black woman who continued to hit her further. As medics from the antifa crew (hats off to them) tended to the man bleeding on the ground you can hear the vile chants of "f*ck you n*ggah" "Black lives matter" and powering water all over him. Some may say this isnt real because Ngo posted it and say its an edited video. In the second video in the tweets thread you can see a BLM protester come from behind and kick the victim fukll force in the head from the side. A glaring example if the type of righousness within the BLM movement which allows subhuman parasites to feel emboldened and think think this is acceptable.

    Portland Police named him Marquise Lee Love as the coward who attacked Adam Haner. Seems the f*ckwit has gone to ground as Police are working to locate it.

    EfuqBE2U8AEfOxA?format=jpg&name=small

    He has a criminal record for domestic violence, viciously attacks people from behind &/or while on the ground, and is also a BLM supporter? Sounds about the right.
