  1. You know, just because you are richer and whiter than we are, doesn’t mean you can just go around calling for more cops like it doesn’t destroy our lives and get away with it.

    Silence is NOT Violence.
    POVERTY is violence.
    RACISM is violence.
    CAPITALISM is violence.
    WAR is violence.

    all THAT violence, which is the ROOT CAUSE of street crime violence, is perpetuated by the STATE, the people you are asking to hire more police, build more jails, prosecute more people, etc….

    Crime and violence will NEVER stop because people are born into the violent conditions i mentioned above every day. so we have to stop those conditions, in order to stop street crime level violence. You are all giving white people a bad name and dividing us from the people we should be uniting with. Many people in the black community don’t trust the police, and crap like this makes them not trust white people either.

    You all are ruining the city.
    And yes, my friend was murdered, so I know about how it feels, but I also am smart enough to realize that we have to solve the root causes to solve anything.

    STOP POVERTY TO END CRIME!!!
