White privilege
Global warming
Income inequality

Basically cheap drugs got introduced in the past five years and cops only react when they have to. White flight caused the tax base of most urban areas to escape, so there’s no more cash flow to expand a pretender cop force into a larger pretender cop force. Toss in a public who doesn’t believe the media message or political gimmick schemes of either party, and you got yourself a society that thrives on dangerous habits.

Did I miss anything?

why should we obey the law when those in charge do not?

From the white house to certain police who I know who pull speeders over and then finish their shift to go home in their patrol car and speed.

Detroit police chief James Craig gets it. He calls it urban terrorism. The “activists” get it partly right in blaming democrat politicians but their solution is the usual “give us more money”.

“Blaming guns with larger magazines”

Maybe the cops are afraid that if they have a physical confrontation with a member of a protected class, they will wind up going to jail and having their lives ruined.

So they just show up and write the reports.

Or maybe it is the larger magazines, I am so confused.

The police solution, and the government solution, is generally "more police," "more laws," and "disarm the public."

This is because the government and the police see the world as "us vs. them," and the government being superior human beings, is justified in controlling the public by any means it takes.

Ironically, the cause in increase in crime is government, which has undermined the values attendant to responsibility and freedom via entitlement, education, and encouraging a culture of dependence.

This is deliberate on the part of government, as it increases government power.
