cwmbrancity Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Well worth anyone’s time: https://drugscience.org.uk/podcast/11-policing-drugs-undercover/ Neil Woods comes across as a self acknowledged cunt who did appalling things in the name of the law. His testimony shows that, at least on this side of the pond, reform is a million miles away. The political will isn’t there cuz = Control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xox Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) You can have something like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shomrim_(neighborhood_watch_group) Then again: “Some Shomrim members in the United States have been convicted of assaults and misdemeanors against people from outside their community, particularly African-Americans.” lol really no hope Edited June 10, 2020 by xox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Member Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) How are cops going to fix bad neighbourhoods though? How did they even become bad if cops were there? Could it be that it has other underlying problems than lack of policing? Edited June 11, 2020 by Gocab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candiru Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 There actually aren’t many cops going around killing people in bad neighborhoods in America. It’s mostly non-cops killing eachother in much, much greater numbers. Which makes me wonder why we are focusing on this one little drop in the bucket, since the concern here is, as you say, black lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limo Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 30 minutes ago, Candiru said: Yes. Have you? No, not a truly bad one. Never got further than Bedford-Stuyvesant - in 2018, and the first signs of gentrification were already apparent (for one, we had an AirBnB there ). Only bad thing about it was that people looked really, really poor and there were fuck-all places to eat. I also found it very surprising that each and every corner store was owned by people of South Asian descent. Not a single black-owned business in sight, though everyone on the streets was black.. Lots and lots of police sirens at night, though. Though I suspect that's just because American cops like to show off. But since you have been to a truly bad American neighborhood: what's that like? Gunfights on every street corner? Throngs of homeless people under every overpass? Or is that just in movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerwolf Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) I've been reading up on this fella. He wasn't the archangel Gabriel was he? I don't know what a home invasion is but I'm guessing it's hardly a couple of gentlemen force their way into your home, brew you a pot of tea and force you to eat a big, big slice of Victoria sponge.
