Most decent functional people have no clue at all the level of dysfunction of the people with whom we interact in the system.
That's the most I can say without risking the Ban Hammer.

Now the Bloods have called for retaliation shootings.
Internal memos warn Jersey City officers to be on high alert due to retaliation | 7online.com
Anybody remember the B.L.A. from the early '70's? Seems we're gonna repeat history again.

We could learn a lesson here from the IDF. Drop leaflets, make phone calls, then end their existence. Just my humble opinion, though......

Dont get me started on gang punk wannabes. Two Sundays ago, one tried stealing my tablet while I was sitting at the table using it.I was ina McDonalds and looking in my haversack for somehting and said punk tried reaching over and grabbing my tablet. I snatched it out of reach, got upand elbowed him in the mouth. Employees called the Police he was arrested. I said I would like pressing charges but didnt appear I needed too because he was arrested for outstanding warrents. Anyway, his two friends nearby-said and did nothing after I elbowed their friend. All three of these punks had at least 2-3 teardrop tattoos. After he was hauled off-as i was leaving, these two were blocking the exit as much as possible and I walked through them. I HATE--punks.

I hope and pray that it won't. Unfortunately, the ship can't turn quickly. I hope we can still avoid the iceburg...
This memorializing criminals (among other things) is what all the changes to our society over the last 30-60 years have wrought. I won't even go into what those changes are...you all know them as well as I do. We either recognize what we've done, or we're part of the problem.
Speaking of McDonalds I took my family to one while visiting Washington DC a few years back and honest to God didn't think I was going to get them out of there alive.... you talk about thugs...

Sad and sickening, but not anything new if you've read some history.
I thought you were in the Big House??
Does the name: Paul Kersey come to mind?
Just did the google thingy... are you talking about the angry white dude?

This kind of crud comes about in varying degrees from the thugs and their apologists. I have seen it repeatedly. A friend of mine was in an OIS some months back that from a legal and factual perspective was plain vanilla. The usual suspects, who did not know the extent of their ignorance, raised all sorts of hell, based on fantasies about the law and made up "facts" that were simply not true. I don't mind family members being upset and not objective, but this kind of stuff is simply unacceptable. And that does not even include the supposed professionals who said stuff that was so far off it seemed like a fairy tale.
Several years ago I was at a swap meet looking at various things when I ran across a friend that I hadn't seen in a while. With him were his sister and her son.
As we talked a cop walked by. They we hired as security and were in full uniform.
I over heard the sister whisper "There's the po-po, watch him".
So I asked "Don't like cops?"
You should have seen the look she gave me!
She said "I hate cops. I don't trust them. They're all bad".
So I told her that if she obeyed the law, she had nothing to fear. She said "BS! They jack you up for nothing!"
I learned a lot in just a few minutes. The gang mentality is extremely prevalent here.

Preparing to be Banned forever:
Many years ago I heard a discussion on this subject...sum and substance traced the current breakdown back to when.......women were given the right to vote.....there I said it.
I did some research and will challange you do yours, if you desire.....
no comment one way or t'other.... just sayin'.....
I feel sorry for good kids, who are forced to grow up in bad neighborhoods, surrounded by thugs and violence. Growing up in that atmosphere must just be surreal.
When I grew up, the worst thing that I had to deal with was snotty preppies.

I spent 30 years in the JCPD , retired 10 years ago and moved to God's country. This doesn't surprise me in the least. It wasn't uncommon to hear "mothers" tell their children- "watch out that cop gonna take you."
Bigotry and hatred cover all ethnic groups, too often we find ourselves falling into the trap of generalizing the other group. There are plenty of thugs, gangsters and the like in JC, many of them ex cons, they have a rich source of victims to choose from.
Further, in JC the problem is exacerbated by the brilliant maneuver the city government performed when they decided to introduce the denizens of the housing projects into stable neighborhoods when they wanted to break up the concentration of criminal activity in the projects, knocking down the high rises, giving section 8 vouchers to relocate the riff raff.
The gangsters and drug dealers are slaughtering each other and the people that are trapped in those neighborhoods. Its not a race thing, the victims are within their own group.
It's truly a case of two cities, the old JC and the new waterfront JC, where the rents are $3000 and the condos go for $1,000,000 +.
Between the idiot governor who wants to be president and the fool mayor of JC who wants that governor's seat, the manpower has been decimated to less than 800 in the PD and about 430 in the FD. The pension "reform" chased all the senior people out in the last 3 years. Someone told me median age in the PD now is late 30s.
Police Officer Melvin Santiago was 23 years old - 23! Out of the academy since December, probably barely finished field training. RIP.
