So street officers should indeed start performing tasks already delegated to other groups? Now that’s a movie I’d watch. Jones the traffic cop busts some banker type on his way to work and finds some shady accounting in his checkbook. Takes down capitalism.
how does me laughing at the prospect of the organizations charged with regulating and policing wall street give you the impression that i feel street officers should perform those tasks? I was merely pointing to the fact that the people who are supposed to do that job are either stripped of their authority to do so (in the case of regulatory agencies power to compel, or lack thereof) or simply not willing to stop the gravy train by going after their previous/future employers.
Carry on with your straw-man though, looks like you’re enjoying yourself.
I really don’t have much to add to the discussion cuz I believe both sides have valid points and if you remove the bias and hatred from each argument, you will realize black and brown folks DO have themselves to blame for alotta shit we go thru AND we are systematically destroyed by an inept and [un]intentionally prejudice system that has failed to catch up with the times. Both of these things can be possible and they are.
I don’t agree with stop and frisk cuz there are NO facts that this is really workin’ at a level that’s worth braggin’ about. I could understand if the results of S&F were for a smaller area but NYC is retardedly HUGE and these results are piss poor. If a lil extra scrutiny is needed to keep a bad hood from gettin’ much worse, than feelings be damned, do what needs to be done. But S&F looks like a dehumanizing inconvenience for minorities with lil pay off. Maybe I’m a lil harder on bad neighborhoods cuz I live in a shitty neighborhood, my area is 3 miles in diameter with a crime rate that’s twice the national average. And who says the suburbs are safe?
The title of this thread, tho, makes me chuckle every time a read it. lol
NYC isn’t really that big.
NYC’s population is almost 3x larger than the 2nd largest city in the USA (LA). Compared to everywhere else, it’s huge af.
Cops pullin niggas over cuz they jealous of my ride.
What it do.
From this article:
NYC is huge and surprisingly racially un-integrated.
