Without much empirical study he credits it for the drop in crime. (Kevin Drum has pointed at the strong correlation between the drop in crime and the drop of lead contamination in the environment - but since that is the result of the evil Government regulations Conservatives have completely rejected this explanation). rickstersherpa@msn.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14489905720399087036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-20745155642432861242014-08-17T15:00:19.861-04:002014-08-17T15:00:19.861-04:00This insincerity from republicans is only tempora...This insincerity from republicans is only temporary talk- grasping a hook to conjure up some minorities votes. Or at least make the ballot tabulation fraud plausible.

They're no occupying THEIR neighborhoods - only the "Blah" and Hispanic ones.<br /><br />And, with the hand-me-down MIC toys they get, you almost can't blame the police girls and boys for wanting to use them.<br /><br />I'm not saying that taking away all of the military hardware, and the tazer's, is the total solution.<br />But, it would be a nice start.<br /><br />Of course, what do we do with the greedy sociopaths in the NRA, who have armed so many people - black and white: but, mostly white - that cops feel that they have a legitimate right to be threatening/abusive when confronting the public?<br /><br />It's a vicious circle.<br />The "War on Drugs," meets the NRA pushing guns to make still more profits, meets the MIC wanting to sell more new shit to the military, and encouraging them to hand their old shit down to police forces, who can then use it in their "War on Drugs," and all of the up-armed drug dealers, and citizens.<br /><br />We are well, and truly, f*cked!<br /><br />But, after all, that's what the conservative powers-that-be want!<br />Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
