It makes your head hurt just thinking about it, doesn't it. If the same thought process was applied to guns, i.e. more legal guns equals less murders, liberal heads would explode.
Do you think the drug gang will go away? Either they will move on to something or sell black market drugs without the taxes the govenment will impose on the legal drugs. The mafia still does business this way with smokes, booze, furniture, etc.
The real story is... A dude who'd been arrested 28 (*)(*)(*)(*)ing times, for numerous violent crimes, was walking the streets and shot a cop in the face. Now you can say 'lets not blame...' But there is plenty of blame to go around, starting with why the (*)(*)(*)(*) did the shooter not have a bullet in his head after his 10th of 15th or 20th arrest? And as a side note, stop and frisk was successful until it was deemed racist. Those in NYC who wanted to do away with it, you deserve everything you get.
I say blame the bad guy, lock them up throw away the key.... stop trying to make it political and attacking the left over this crazy guys actions stop and frisk should never be allowed without probable cause, just being black is not probably cause .
Statistically, it is. Its not being racial, its being efficient. Does the TSA check everyone? No, but if they're looking for suicide bombers, the 4 year old kid probably isn't the most likely suspect. Numbers don't lie.
I think they will have less money if we end the war on drugs, and with time that will reduce their numbers and influence on the young in the neighborhood gang life is not so glamorous without all the bling funneling billions into gangs via prohibition has consequences .
and there is why it wasn't allowed, some people think just being black is probable cause for cops to harass them

The very little that could be found on it was a couple of stories listed on Google based on a tweet made by John Cardillo, some retired NY cop who apparently now has a radio show.
If there are a lot of crimes in a neighborhood with a particular minority as the majority, then it's reasonable to expect that the minority majority would be those most often checked. And with black cops doing 50+% of the checking, where does being black come into play?
Who said anything about being black? You think it's cause they were black, cause you see race. I see people who look suspicious, doing suspicious (*)(*)(*)(*). A man is walking around in your backyard at night. Hurry, is he white or black? Doesn't matter does it? So you're justification for letting the shootings increase is not enough old white women weren't having their purses searched? Fair enough. A higher number of 'stop and frisks' take place in (*)(*)(*)(*)ty areas because there's crime there. Because the people are black is irrelevant.
So, using your warped logic everyone became a bootlegger during Prohibition? Statistics show consumption dropped AND the people voted to keep Prohibition as the law of the land. Congress decided to lift it. Minorities have a tendency to be more legally 'promiscuous' as World statistics bear out. It's a racial/cultural thing. Accept it.
Hmm..., I wonder if Sharpton will comfort the family and hold a rally, while Obama marches along side him?
I wonder if Ben Carson will comfort the family and tell them if it was him he would have shot the suspect instead of getting shot.
Yeah, these sources really aren't reliable. Cardillo is most definitely a conservative radio DJ and every source mentioning him (all of two and not even BretBrait, or however the heck you spell that name) are also very right oriented. I don't necessarily disbelieve the story. Manhattan is a big city, and it takes all kinds. I also don't any love for BLM, but yeah, the sources on this event are shotty at best. I wouldn't base on argument on any of them, which I assume is why maybe HTownMarine wants you to find them rather than just link to them here.
Oh tell us about the violent mafia and their sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lucrative smoke, booze and furniture business. The day the prohibition ends, most gangs will disapear shortly after. Right now it's a prosperous career choice to be a drug dealer, it's like becoming a rock star over night, but unlike the furniture, smoke and booze businesses, its 100000000% more dangerous and deadly, being more lucrative and all might have something to do with it. Few gangs will remain, but they won't have the same appeal and money to even buy guns, they won't be killing over smoke,booze or furniture turf and the drug addicts won't have to steal for money to feed their addiction.
So you don't believe the word of a retired NYPD officer? But you'll believe HuffPo? I don't know what else to tell you then. I did link the articles after he 'couldn't find them' with a Google search. So I searched google and *poof* there it was.
I never mentioned HuffPo, and only have ever read it through this site. Let's please try to stick to the comments written on this thread. Thanks. I also said I didn't necessarily disbelieve the story (in fact it's probably true, although I don't think this is BLM's official opinion on the matter, as you made it seem), but yes, the sources are shotty. Cardillo is a conservative radio host and an ex-NY cop. I find him very biased. I'm sorry your... I mean, my research turned up nothing really reliable.
Hmm..., since when have Obama, or Sharpton been on the side of the Police? I suggest that both would rather rile the mobs than attend the funeral of this murdered LEO and comfort his family.
