    This guy is all over the place. He wants to eliminate cops and replace them with social workers, then he blames the high number of crimes on there not being enough cops.

    de Blasio must take logic lessons from AOC.

    How would anyone with a sound mind vote for DeBlasio?

    Imagine just thinking social democracy and how reduced inequality reduces crime rates? Crikey, even the right winger academics behind deterrence knew that. Where did you lot become cretinous?

    Well, defund the police a billion dollars more, that aught to fix things.

    After all, what a way to show the police the city has their back, other than to defund them.

    Better yet, have the Mayor of New York City and the Governor endorse a candidate for President who calls the police "the enemy of the people," and has said we "need to defund the police."

    That aught to motivate those bastards to get back into the game and start doing police work again. /sarcasm

    I think that the political Left's latest new saying is, "What difference does Marxism make now?" So, yes, most of them do generate the impression that they are eminently 'cool' with that.

    Is this an attempt to avoid the economic approach to criminology? If so, good job!

    Who pays for rioting damage? Speaking of economic approach to criminal behavior.

    If you take an equity perspective, you'd have to ensure that those behind institutionalised racism pay their share. If you take an efficiency perspective, you'd have to factor in police brutality and teach them to behave appropriately. Human capital goes hand and hand with public good provision. That can be funded through progressive tax, but you're free to send in an inflated cheque :)

    I think you missed the planet on that one, not just the barn door. Why not make rioters pay the whole thing, instead? After all, they're the guilty ones. And while we're at it, put them to work scrubbing the places they vandalized. Chain gangs are extremely effective at deterring others.

    You didn't understand the economics did you? That is ultimately the point, highlighting the folly shown in this thread.

    Someone has to pay for that damage. That's as bald and plain as plain gets. Make the cretins pony up, not taxpayers.

    That's a lot of flowery words to try and sugarcoat over the fact that a craptonne of money and resources that could've been used to accomplish something constructive, are instead going to be wasted on repairing the destruction caused by children throwing temper tantrums.

    Paraphrasing LBJ, this stuff's enough to have defense lawyers voting Democrat for 200 years. Manna from heaven from the party which stays conspicuously silent over the rioting.

    Yep, and as racism and police brutaility are causal factors, that necessarily means your argument is bogus. Thanks for making my point.

    That explained nothing.

    More flowery words that said nothing.

    That's all he does. He loves the sound of his own voice but really doesn't know or say anything useful.

    Deblasio is the epitome of feckless. He has no hesitation about blaming everyone else but himself.
