Same people who laughed when George floyd died. Same people not posting about the mass shootings (yes shootings) days before he died and after he died. Same people who agreed with him when he basically said death to a bullet was a necessary evil
For all the people complaining about the lack of empathy for Kirk. I think we have more pressing issues if people are overjoyed it was a white man who did it because ppl like Kirk have aided in the stereotyping of minorities always being at fault.

Majority of gun violence is in our inner cities, from gang violence. Not school shootings. We need more police in our cities, and to be harder on crime. Then add security guards to our schools. As Kirk said, we’ve had guns and schools since the inception of our country, school shootings are a new phenomenon.

Well i was more so addressing the fact that people will lose their shit over a man who wasn't even in office and spent time challenging college freshman then actually giving a fuck about what's happening in our schools

we always keep trying putting more cops in inner cities and ever like funding their schools. at a certain point it’s extremely clear just adding more and more cops and nothing else if no actually changing anything

We actually had a whole movement about defunding the police a couple years back, and now we have radicals as our DAs and judges who don’t prosecute crimes.

and the police didn’t get defunded lol the inner cities are still super overpoliced with none of those massive police budgets going to community programs shown in studies time and time again to be more effective at preventing crime than increased police presence. maybe i’d take you a little more seriously if you actually had idk evidence, examples, scientific consensus on your side, and weren’t clearly just parroting pro cop nonsense and deep throating boot

False dichotomy. I agree with heavy policing AND community programs like an emphasis on education and after school activities for children. I also believe we need to bring back the nuclear family to our cities, as crime lowers significantly when a father is present in the home. We should do this by economically incentivizing dads to stay (tax benefits, extra welfare etc).

you know what prevents a lot of fathers from being present in homes? over policing where you way too many cops trying to fill quotas sending tons of people to jail or just straight up shooting them unarmed in the street over a dimebag or a joint. studied and reality have shown time and time again that over policing just makes conditions in communities worse and incarceration doesn’t resolve the harm done by crime.

More black men die from lightning strikes than police brutality. Next. We’ve seen under policing and it’s fruits, look at west coast cities, they’re hell holes. Incarceration gets dangerous people off the streets. Again your whole narrative here is filled with logical fallacies and false dichotomies. So let me clarify my point. I’m all for policing our streets, im pro good policing (so I’m against police brutality) I’m pro justice (do a crime do time) and pro social programs to help these areas.
