Shootings in Buffalo

[Deplorable Me]

Where's the BLM protest over this? What's worse is in the high crime neighborhoods is there is historically little cooperation from the neighbors and witnesses seem to be non existent. If police don't solve crimes they're at fault, if police do solve crimes they're considered abusive, if police prevent crimes they're considered too aggressive. Maybe the neighborhoods that don't want cops should get their wish.

Well said brother!!

 

[Tinman]

I agree 100%

 

[Carlos Hathcock]

Nothing to see here. No excuse to loot and pillage.

 

[Stuckinny]

2 lives among many that really do not matter after all.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

Now...now....One shouldn't judge an entire neighborhood just because of a few bad apples..but one can condemn an entire Police department for a couple bad apples. The minorities always have a reason for any situation. How can any Cop do a 100% job in an area where they are petitioning to defund/and or abolish their job ? I would say if they don't want something...then be a Pal and don't give them what they don't want.

Some of these neighborhoods are beyond repair. So are some people. These shootings will continue in the inner cities. They will continue because there is a serious breakdowns within some communities. Lack of drive. Lack of education, lack of work ethic and lack of basic human decency!

While many may think this is directed at one group of persons; it is not. Scum exists in all types of people. Until all people alter their inner morals and ethics, this bullshit will continue. For too many, no lives matter.

I wonder why we do not see these tyoes of numbers in towns like Amherst. I sit and I wonder? Why do most of the murders happen in places like the East side of Buffalo and other inner city areas?

Hopefully there was no police response.

Where I grew up in WNY, the police were non-existent. Occasionally (like once a year) a cop may drive through.
You would have thought the police were defunded and disbanded......just like these people are asking for.
How did we manage to live like the police did not exist?
WE DID NOT COMMIT CRIMES!!

For instance......
What do all of these "police brutality" cases have in common?.....Floyd, Martin, and all the rest.
The guys who died were actively commiting crimes....every one of them.
Maybe it was just selling cigarettes or DVDs but they were commiting crimes.

No crimes = No cops

 

[Criticalt]

And before anyone goes there, there are many, many very poor neighborhoods with very little to no crime.
Being a criminal has little to do with being poor. My parents grew up very poor but they never commited crimes......nor did their neighbors.

I posted very similar just the other day. Seeing police in my neighborhood is very rare. They barely drive down my street. Out at my Country property, in eight years, I have seen two police. One State Trooper and one DEC. Met both of them. Nice guys.

In an area where crime does not occur, no Police are needed. In the shitty parts of towns where the people cannot act normal, the areas where they act like animals? Lots of police presence. Kind of funny how that works.

Don't want to see the Police all of the time? Pretty simple... Act normal and follow the laws of a civilized society. Some people can't though...

A friend of mine grew up in South Buffalo in a pretty bad area....he lived on Box street if anyone knows the area.
He was so poor that him and his brother have had to share a jar of mayonnaise for dinner.
When the boys were in their early teens, their single mother had seen enough. She came south to Jamestown NY. She was broke but used food stamps and welfare the correct way. She immediately got a job as a receptionist at a dentist office and was off welfare within a year and off food stamps within 2 years.
She now owns a decent 3 bedroom house in a mid-upper class neighborhood.
She and her 2 boys did not commit crimes, they got the heck out......with very little money to their name.
They were poor, they were black, but they were not victims.
The older son has worked for me for years now.

Living on the East side in the 50's there was a beat Officer We'd see once a day..every day...and a goofy police station wagon(white) with a big speedometer on the roof. Police were respected and no one wanted a Police Officer at their house as respect for Law and order was taught/instilled. Along with other "respect" issues. My house and every other on the block between Glenwood and Box on Kehr Street are all gone and vacant property exists. WAS a great place to grow and learn life.

And yes, I did call them black.
Because to proud black people, "persons of color" is as comical as calling a white person a "person of no color".

Forgive the side track, but I've always had problems with the term "African American" First is the fact that they're putting America in second place and second off most have never been to Africa nor do they even know what part of Africa their ancestors came from! I do not refer to myself as German American and if I did my grandparents would've belted me in the mouth and said in a heavy accent "YOU ARE AMERICAN AND YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF DAT!" So why do blacks insist on the A-A title? Is it because they are useful idiots and it divides us as a population? I think so.

 

[Mr. terzmo]

Well.....60 years ago there was a lot of slang directed at heritage...like wop for Italian....mick for Irish...pollock for poles...henie for Germans...spic for Pueto Ricans..and so on...and of course the N word. Over the 60 years I rarely if ever, hear those slang words except for one. My 2 cents is the N word will NEVER go away unless the minorities stop using it.

AND...Native American......We"re ALL Native Americans...not just other's who use it.

Pretty much all of these descriptors were made up by white people.
I am not black but I know a few.
Every one of them without exception prefer to be called black.
Just keep in mind that all of them that I know are right leaning if not very conservative or even libertarian.
They have zero affection for the far left...um......a.......I cannot type what they call those people of their race.
As for me, Ijust call them by their name. The color of their skin or race never even comes up.

Black is a race, "African American" is a culture.

Neither Blacks nor Whites are "better" and the differences between them are minor.

"African American" culture on the other hand is a shit show that isn't compatible with prosperity.

My advice if you're black is to abandon the "African American" culture, ignore the people who denigrate you for "acting white" and embrace things like education, hard work, honesty, and family values.

You can be just as prosperous as a "white guy", you just have to embrace the qualities that lead to success.

I've always wondered, if they consider their race is African American, does that mean they change race if they move to Europe?

 

[GOPerfect]

Question, what do you call a Black pilot?

 

[Criticalt]

Is American your race?
Like mentioned above, African American isnt a race, its a nationality.
For instance in England they are sometimes refered to as Black British but usually just African.

 

[Cavalry]

Charlize Theron and Dave Matthews are African American

I thought about that was just about to "what" and then I got it. DOH! It's been a long day.
