Seven year old killed while playing on family porch

[Lummy]

Such wanton killings are very rare if you consider the land area of the US is 3.7 million square miles.

It is a sorry situation.

The drug gangs are dealing on the corners for their money. The residents rarely call.
If the residents call then the cops rarely show up anymore because they have to worry about their jobs if they arrest criminals.
If the arrests are made then they get slapped on the wrist and are thrown out the back doors so that ICE cannot pick them up.

I don't know about this family specifically, but they probably voted for the DA and the mayor. They probably also did nothing when they saw these same gang bangers hanging around their neighborhood.

Yours is a strange comment. Bad cops are protected by bad unions. Conservatives hate public sector unions. We have no say in how bad cops are sheltered.

Police unions exist to make a bundle of money for the unions and to protect the lazy, incompetent, corrupt, and/or brutal police officers.

Ever wonder why unions use the same vocabulary as other organized crime? Snitches, finks, rats, stoolies, brothers, family, and omerta, the code of silence.

I didn't even look to see if this is Chicago but there's a good chance it is. It is. Big surprise there. Little boy, wanted to grow up to be a police officer and he's shot while playing on his porch. This is just so sad. Where is the outrage? The protests??

Zamar’s great aunt questioned, “I don’t understand and we out here, we’re sending up balloons for my little nephew when-. That’s all we can do?”

Yes ma'am...that seems to be the only thing you can do because you have a do nothing mayor and a do nothing police force. Not to mention black neighbors who don't give a damn about baby black lives.

You posted this without even reading the first paragraph? Oooo-kay.

I'm curious. What, specifically, would you protest? The killer has been arrested. The murder was horrible, my condolences go to the family, but what is there to protest.

The system is far from perfect and we can make some minor adjustments to improve it but abolishing police and going with vigilantes isn't the answer. Thinking unarmed social workers can or should handle domestic violence calls shows a level of stupidity that's astounding. Less than two weeks ago two police officers were shot on a routine traffic stop and some want unarmed traffic police to make traffic stops.

The sad fact is that both sides are wrong and intolerant.

I doubt anyone will care.

Honestly, most people don't care about justice. Much of the right turns a blind eye to lawless cops protected by the system. The left and the BLM/Antifa crowd only care when a white cop kills a black person. It's a very sad state of affairs.

I'm not sure justice exists but what most seem to want is for their team to win and the other team, or teams, to lose.

It is my opinion that our flawed system can be improved but allowing a few hundred thugs backed by leftist politicians who allow them to riot, loot, burn, and kill is not a way to set public policy.

When the backlash comes to the rioting, looting, burning, and killing it will be significant.

Not sure why she's suddenly pretending to care about "teh blacks", when she's been next door coddling white nationalists for years. Maybe she grew a conscience all of a sudden.

Bad cops are protected by corrupt courts more than anything, which can be both liberal or conservative depending on the situation. I'm not talking about say, I'm talking about public sentiment. Technically, the BLM crowd doesn't have a say in anything either.

When was the last time you saw a corrupt Constitutionalist?
