This . Even the poor here are rich. It’s why everyone wants in here and will risk doing it unlawfully.

You still haven’t explained how I or anyone else on here has caused poor performance in our inner city schools like you claim we have. I’ll keep waiting for your explanation.

American poor are in the top 1% in the history of the world. American poor are in the top 10% of the world today. Capitalism is the unequal distribution of wealth, socialism is misery shared equally, except by the ruling class

I’m not sure what either of those links prove. Please elaborate on what you’re trying to get across. Nothing I saw says fathers in the home isn’t a concern.

It’s not so much that what the NG guard was actually doing in the particular instance that concerns me, it’s the opening of the door of putting the military on our streets for law enforcement activities, and the slippery slope that follows walking through that door. It’s the prospect of slowly normalizing the use of military troops to police citizens that concerns me. As for your question about military police my answer would be no. 1) Because it’s military troops policing citizens on American city streets, and 2) because MP’s are not trained in policing citizens/residents on American streets, they are trained in policing military troops on military bases, etc.

https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/study-black-dads-more-involved-in-childrenss-lives-than-other-groups/ https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr071.pdf Here is an article and data to show that inner city black and Latino fathers are more involved with their kids than we all thought or are told.

You’re claiming that “we ALL” have/are causing the results of poor school performance in our inner cities. I’m claiming the lack of fathers in the home is a far bigger reason than anything else.

Public education's goal in the first place was to give everyone equality of opportunity. We can see now that this is not happening with the public schools. What do we want the public schools to do: Educate people so they can be productive in society or keep the illiterate so they have to be wards of the state for the rest of their lives? mspart

I never mentioned anything about the participation or lack there of from fathers. Can you help me understand where you are coming from by offering up some information about that comment and your point of view?

My cousin was a dancer. My neighbor was very tall and this guy I know once knew a teacher. He forgot the teachers name but that’s not relevant. I live in the inner city. And I grew up in the inner city. So farking what. None of that helps you make me understand why less than 20% can read. They don’t need more $ if the kids don’t want to learn. Or if their parents don’t give a shit. We’ve thrown more $ at them for 70 years. I’m not surprised you didn’t read the stat that we threw a ton more per head count at them in the last few years. Guess what. It doesn’t help. Throwing money at kids who don’t show up or want to learn is not good policy or good use of my tax money. Give vouchers to the 20% who show up to learn to go to good schools. Let the 80% eat generic fruit loops and go gang bang or whatever it is they want to do besides learn to read.

Google AI has already established that is almost always the case. Yes, police union representatives are almost always current or recently retired police officers who are voted or appointed to their positions to represent their fellow officers. You are being overly pedantic in a way that doesn't change anything. You also did this when you tried to distinguish between police officers being responsible for the negative public sentiment and the police unions. If its police misconduct itself to blame for the change in public sentiment then police officers are to blame. It its underlying union corruption to blame then since they are run by police offices, police officers are to blame. If you are trying to blame the relative small number of non-police officers that work as union representatives, I think you are just wrong. I don't these individuals exist in large enough numbers for that to be the case. Evidenced by the fact that you have yet to find even a single verifiable real world example of it. But even assuming you are right police still control the union and would ultimately be responsible for the actions of its representatives. And even if you disagree with that I think we can both agree that it is unlikely that the police unions preferentially put democrats in the positions not filed by police officers, so you're initial assertion that the democrats are to blame is incorrect.

If true that should be easier don't you think?

I have my fingers crossed , but I’ve learned to not get overly excited until signing day lol. But I’m hopeful. Hopeful we land a couple more of the top tier guys as well.

Brother we are thin at 157. There really isn't anyone if Cannon can't hold it. I can't see Paddy getting there or even wanting to get there. Cannon or bust... Miller and Bassett could fill those spaces in the future though...

I mean... Frank the Tank looks down on Nicky Pushups, and Frank the Tank was a manlet at 65 KG.

Why anyone would listen to Newsom is beyond me. The result speak for themselves.

Crime will almost always drop at least a little if u flood an area w LE. It wasn't just NG. It was FBI, DEA, ICE, etc. The question is how much, was it worth it to FEDERAL taxpayers and what happens after they leave. It's pretty dumb to conclude right now that it "worked." The big waste here is NG.

Kaching!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ mspart

It's hard to disagree with you, so I won't. He's a manlet. He can't suddenly grow four inches taller and be the right size to go 65 KG.

But the short term benefit is there for all to see in DC. I mentioned this in another post. If the locality does not change tactics, then the NG effort will be short term only and not long term. But the short term benefit will clearly show the people of the city what the Ds offer them. And it is only more death and carnage and poverty. Long term cities should increase the police force so there can be effective policing. But the courts and prosecutors need to be on board as well. mspart

Me thinks you could make a lot of extra coin selling organic maple leaf masks thru the Amazon.com

I think the positive outcome from having the NG in DC was showing the mayor that more police are needed. Obviously having the NG anywhere for an extended period of time is problematic. Why do we call in the NG for riots but not to assist in crime prevention on a temporary basis?

Also please elaborate on the neglect these inner city kids receive from their fathers which has a far greater impact than anything that happened two centuries ago.

It worked in DC. It should be worth a try at some other crime riddled locale. Chicago could really experience a renaissance with 1 killing a week and less than 10 shots fired a week. Alas, that is so far out of scope with current practices that it seems like it is time to try something different. mspart
