No idea what you mean by disrupting the nuclear family.
Although I don’t 100% agree with all of the proposals wrt the police, the gist of the call to “defund the police” is to reduce the amount of personnel and funds dedicated to criminal law enforcement. A majority of this type of LE effort in this country amounts to nothing but imprisoning poor people over stupid shite like weed possession. A lot of police departments are better funded and equipped than ever before yet organized crime and random violence is as prevalent as ever.
There are too many LE officers in this country that are either a moron, a thug, or a combination of both. Reducing the amount of true criminal law enforcement officers in the country would allow for setting a higher bar for this type of position.
New positions could be created for traffic safety, general security and peacekeeping, and emergency response. If you could actually read past a middle school level you would know that not every “Defund” proposal is about getting rid of the cops.

It does mean he has a good support base though which is what I'm insinuating about BLM. Sorry that's confusing you.

Maybe to you, many actually want to abolish the police though.

Funny how you keep insulting me when you're the one who is constantly making false statements.

As for BLM false narratives, I'll focus on their major platform which has been police killings...
The first major false narrative, the entire premise upon which the movement is based is that police killings of blacks are all racially based, there is no need for the organization to exist if that isn't believed by those involved. This is the common belief despite there being no evidence of racial issues in the vast majority of police killings.
The second is that blacks are disproportionately killed by police which is technically true if you're just looking at population percentages. But since we understand that blacks commit disproportionate amounts of crime in this country its understood that they'll also have disproportionate amounts of police encounters thus leading to more possible incidents.
Blacks also tend to live in more urban areas where there are more chances for police encounters.
They also group in justified police killings such as that of Michael Brown in Ferguson in with actual murders.
They push myths such "hands up, don't shoot" so much that it becomes one of their signature chants despite it not ever actually happening.

Any violent crime statistic will tell you that its never been safer to be an American since statistics have been recorded.

A lot of police departments are better funded and equipped than ever before yet organized crime and random violence is as prevalent as ever.
quote:
The two most commonly cited sources of crime statistics in the U.S. both show a substantial decline in the violent crime rate since it peaked in the early 1990s. One is an annual report by the FBI of serious crimes reported to police in more than 18,500 jurisdictions around the country. The other is a nationally representative annual survey by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, which asks approximately 160,000 Americans ages 12 and older whether they were victims of crime, regardless of whether they reported those crimes to the police.
quote:
Using the FBI numbers, the violent crime rate fell 51% between 1993 and 2018. Using the BJS data, the rate fell 71% during that span. The long-term decline in violent crime hasn’t been uninterrupted, though. The FBI, for instance, reported increases in the violent crime rate between 2004 and 2006 and again between 2014 and 2016. Violent crime includes offenses such as rape, robbery and assault.

Nice, you actually posted relevant graphs. Let’s dig in.
Crime statistics can get complicated as they never exist in a vacuum.
My assertion was that they are as “prevalent as ever” - specifically suggesting a correlation to both the war on drugs and relatively recent practice of ramping up funds for police equipment and arms.
Those graphs you posted are showing the backend of the early 90s peak. The leftmost chart is probably the most relevant as it’s actually related to reporting and not polling. You can see a sharp decline until ~2000 (Bush Era) and then the downward trend becomes much less significant.
You even see a little hill in the ~16 neighborhood (Trump Era).
It’s hard to tell, but it looks like there is a peak during the recession (poverty/economic hardship has a strong correlation with violent crime). Wasn’t the Trump era supposed to have a “strong” economy though? What happened there?

Since you're the one asking for proof of everything, how about you prove your point. The other poster proved his with actual statistics but you just found a way to fit your argument around them.
Now let's see yours proving LE is overfunded or that those crimes you keep spouting about are at a high. Since you're so educated they shouldn't be hard to find or post.

Like I said, an organization by that name exists, but the majority of activists using the phrase are disconnected from that organization.
If you actually believe BLM is some shadowy organization where members are sent out to cities to destroy America, you are even more dumb than I originally thought (which is saying a lot).
I agree with this. BLM is an organization and as someone mentioned, many who support it are useful idiots, and they are part of the "movement."
Many who support the movement will not acknowledge any reasoning for negative perceptions of the organization, bringing the two closer together as a handy disguise.

Get back to us on Nov 4. If those folks matter so much then the election should be a breeze for Biden correct?
We will see how much BLM means then.
The difference between us in the trailer parks is that we WILL be at the polls. Betting those "woke" protestors don't show up when it actually matters. To qoute Andre 3000 "ain't nobody black running so why should I register?"
All this bullshite you wrote above means less than nothing, when the other guy wrote about the "people that matter" , he meant the Execs at large Corps that really RUN AMERICA. Trumpf sending out dog whistles about the confederate flag and trying to save the names of confederates on bases does nothing for YOU economically, Trumpf takes your vote and then gets in bed with Big Business that has taken away MFG & Production Jobs in mid sized and rural areas, that ultimately has some impact on your wallet
So while idiots like you are voting for Trumpf based on "empty calorie issues" like 2A, confederate symbology, anti-BLM, Trumpf turns around and pimps your vote out to the Ivy League MBA crowd to take care of his buddies that have nothing in common with you
The truth is, your Ilk have more in common with the BLM crowd than your closed mind is willing to accept
Think about it, when has a wealthy New Yorker that attended Private Schools from K-12 and then went to an Ivy League College after HS, ever given a damn about rural white males in America, TRUMPF HAS NEVER GIVEN A DAMN ABOUT YOU, HE SIMPLY PLAYS YOU FOR A FOOL TO SECURE YOUR VOTE, he knows exactly what buttons to push and which dog whistles to blow
You got so much anger and hate built up and you're so used to being "against something" that you don't know how to wade thru the issues and be "for yourself" because you're afraid that someone different than you might also benefit if you do vote in your own best interest

If one follows this thread and pays close attention to your questions and answers you could be thought of as a racist.
When a BLM organizer was asked if it might not be better to use All Lives Matter as the movements catch phrase he had a fit and said this was about black lives. White people have no place in the movement because they already have positions of power.
That’s where they lost me. But I’m just one white cracker so that’s no big loss.
Have a nice day.
