Thread: Do anything but admit black-on-black crime is a major problem

Democratic Illinois State Rep: You Know, The Cops Could Be Shooting Black Children

Katie Pavlich | Aug 02, 2013



In an effort to do anything but admit black-on-black crime is a major problem, Democratic Illinois State Representative Monique Davis (whose district office is in Chicago) repeated a libelous claim made by her constituents that Chicago cops *might* be shooting young black children during an appearance on a Detroit radio show earlier this week. Last night in response, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly asked Davis to clarify her comments on his show. More from Mediaite:

Davis insisted to O’Reilly that she wasn’t alleging anything, just repeating what constituents told her. O’Reilly pressed her on why she didn’t dismiss it as “crazy,” explaining that she has “credibility as an elected official” and she should know better than to say police are killing black kids. Davis suggested that given how such a high number (70 percent) of murders in Chicago remain unsolved, “people are wondering what the heck is going on.”

OK Monique, you're either an idiot or you're pandering to your clueless constituents.

I'll explain the situation to you. Most people act today with a view toward the future. So, for example, people will put up with a pain-in-the-butt supervisor, because they know that they have a pension coming. But if people don't believe that they have a future, then they may as well apply their foot to the butt of that same supervisor.

Many black American men don't believe that they have much of a future. That's because so many of the poorest American men are either in prison, on parole, or structurally unemployed. So these men act in the present. They often also belong to a gang, because that group is about the only social support that they have.

Because the police are seen as agents of opression, many of the poorest Americans don't want to cooperate with them.

'Bama doesn't care nearly as much about the poorest Americans as he does about his precious Undocumented Democrats, so don't look for any relief from the White House.

Hope this helps.
