Not counting the 3,500 hired at least in part as part of the "Biden's 1994 Crime Bill", 160. (supporting link.)
My answer is "it depends".
No one is forcing you to get a vaccine. Not the federal, state, or local government. Not even private businesses are forcing you to do anything. Private companies may require you to be vaccinated to engage in business with them. That's not forcing you to do anything.
2018. And that is a measure of percentage of increase , not actual violent crime rates.
Well then you and your other privileged buddies must be loving NY today. Just make sure to wear your Kevlar.
I live in Baltimore City. Rarely go to NYC, but crime isn't something I think about much when considering visiting NYC.
So? The question was whether the root causes of a large percentage of crime, particularly violent crime were different in urban areas and rural areas? That is are the causes in rural areas something different than poverty, job loss, lack of opportunities, drugs, etc.? Are they?
right now there is just peer pressure, bullying, name calling and removal of perks and privilege's to force people to get vaccine is real .... then free items are given, lottery tickets etc even money to bribe people to doing things in a way they didn't want to
its a combination of it all
Bullying? You've gone a bit overboard with this even for you - which is saying something.
Sure, but "they should be more like me" is not really a very good argument on why crime exists. And a horrible argument in expressing the beauty of this great nation. You cannot be focused inward on yourself with these issues but need to look outwards. These end results of poverty and joblessness happen where there is a break down in the "maximizing individual utility" ("if everyone looked out for themselves") philosophy.
it is the very definition of bullying
why ?
I doubt it'll make any impact at all
Because people are different. They have different
but they also have different talents, different risk tolerance, different circumstances, different personalities. There are lots of things that make us different such that asking someone to be "just like you" to solve their problems, to be prosperous, to be productive is not a viable option. And my usage of "viable" is masking the ugliness of the very suggestion.
but at the same time we don't live in a caste society ... almost everyone has the ability to greatly succeed. Examples abound, they're everywhere, nationwide
I submit you are wrong. People in inner cities largely make the best of the bad choices presented them within their capabilities. And its societies fault, our fault that their are not enough pathways to better choices. That the culture is a reflection of this reality and it help create feedback loops but it is not the root cause of this. And of course this cultural blame game falls apart when these cities are really small rural towns.
abuse and mistreatment of someone vulnerable by someone stronger, more powerful, etc.
Rubbish. People like you aren’t doing these people any favors by perpetuating this victim mentality. Culture matters. It matters more than anything. That’s why in the same city you’ll see Asian immigrants working their tails off and in one generation their kids are going to an Ivy League School.
more likely gun crimes and homicide will rise. the history of gun violence in states that have adopted permitless concealed carry has been pretty consistent.
I don't know Miami, I know Chicago since I've lived closeby all my life. I guarantee there will be 50+ shootings in the city this weekend - but the left will blame everyone BUT the shooters.
I think most people on the left would blame the shooters and would want them to be arrested and prosecuted.
Lol look at the response I get about Chicago murders. fish and others blame everyone but them.
There's only so many times that people have to post they would address the problem from multiple angles. I don't think that should be required of every post, but evidently it is for some of you if you still think people are only saying to address the problem by looking at guns.
then how do people escape inner cities ?
this conversation started with the claim that gun violence in cities was the result of liberal leadership. sorry if you can't follow along.
Fix the single motherhood rate, and you've mostly fixed the inner cities.
well when all these states went to concealed weapons the fears were the same, wild wild west
You're going to need more than one example. And the example you gave is a loose one at best.
we agree that's a huge problem
I see, so you are claiming that anti-vac people are a protected class like homosexuals are? come on, man.
I gave you links to support that the worst cities have been Democratic led for decades
not all anti-gun position posters but most yes- ban guns, no more problems

Yep, I a saw that. That's why I said he's going to need to provide more than one example. 1 does not make it equal.
then why isn't it called violence instead of "gun" violence ?
Let me help you out - both can be true. Failed Liberal “leadership” over many years contributes to the culture of violence, dependence and victimhood. And deep down you know it’s true.
culture is part of why people act and behave as they do
Statement like these are just opinions?
Seems to me they are either statements of fact or lies. Sure some opinions can be formed around them, but they are not true for those that believe and false for those that believe otherwise.
Well, on top of that we keep getting the
that the "gun laws aren't working! We need more gun laws!".
