First they’ll spend half of it on the lottery.

Yep. They'll go to the nearest 7-11 and buy a bunch of these.

“The officer said “I have no idea, we never go there””

Sounds like when the prospective employer asked the guy’s previous boss “What do you think of him?” and the previous boss replied “You’d be lucky to get him to work for you.”

Racism!! White Privilege!! You should be enjoying the same number of murders as your brethren in Baltimore.

Obamaism 101 - ;-)

[chiller]

It's overwhelmingly obvious this is a racial problem involving:

poor economy

poor education

fatherless homes

welfare

democrats

teachers unions

Did I leave anything out ?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Do any of the residents, blame the toxic black ghetto feral culture, from which the bulk of the violence is coming? Do any of the residents blame the youth gang members who commit the bulk of the violence?

Or do they just look for some aspect of the violence which can be blamed on police?

It's the culture of the "gibsmedats".

Africans will be africans. Can't we just give them their own separate but equal states and be done with them?

[Ouderkirk]

Used to be walking around with a quater pound of marijuana was intent to distribute and had a mandatory jail sentence.....

[mulligan]

You ask for it. Live with it.

[stationkeeper]

Baltimore police detective on a local affairs call-in radio show:

“They are going to get the police force they want.....God help them.”

[Vendome]

Zactly....

[SaxxonWoods]

“Copsogyny”

Can’t live with them, can’t live without them.

[Beagle8U]

There are no police in my area, none at all! The entire township is police free.

[ladyjane]

“Did I leave anything out?”

Violence, bad decisions, poor impulse control, racism ...

[Moonman62]

But no community takes responsibility so blame the cops.

...

There was a lot of encouragement to do that from Obama.

[Moonman62]

Some residents attribute the high murder rate to relaxed police patrols in the city following high-profile cases of police brutality.

...

I bet the author always uses the word alleged when she’s talking bout criminals.

[Gritty]

Scum-sucking parasites. Human tapeworms, actually.

Their real need (like our own) is Jesus. Instead, we give them EBT cards for "bread" hoping it fixes their problem when Jesus himself said, "It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’" (Matthew 4:4).

Then we wonder why they act like the Devil while we are feeding their self-destructive behaviors?

[JusPasenThru]

No shit, Sherlock.

[gogeo]

Some residents attribute the high murder rate to relaxed police patrols in the city following high-profile cases of police brutality. Officers have backed off in neighborhoods, like the one where Freddie Gray was arrested.

Yes, but the number of complaints about police brutality are down. Isn't that what counts?

It’s like this:
Years ago a friend went to the bank on the East Side of San Jose.

She wanted to make a withdrawal from her savings account.

She was dressed in sweats.

They asked her for all kinds of I.D. and made her wait.

She was missed and exclaimed “They never ask me for so much as my Drivers License in Los Gatos!”

I replied “That’s because on the East side you are a presumed crook.

In Los Gatos you’re just suppose to know better”

She hates when I remind her.
