"Ferguson Effect" Triggers Nationwide "Crime Wave"
Two weeks ago, we took a look at Baltimore in the aftermath of violent protests that left the city in ashes late last month. The astonishing statistic: from April 27 to May 14, there were 23 homicides in the city, for an average of 1.3 each day.
We summed up the situation as follows: “But out of sight, out of mind for the rest of the country and we imagine that just as high crime rates and a generalized sense of despair were ignored before the riots, so too will they be ignored now that the media spectacle has died down ... at least until the next "purge."
In fact, May was the city’s bloodiest month since 1999 with more than 30 people shot on Memorial Day weekend alone. Here, courtesy of The Baltimore Sun, is a recap of those who were murdered in Baltimore from May 17 through May 25 alone:
Shaquil Hinton, 21, was killed at 12:29 a.m. Monday in the 800 block of W. Fayette St. in Poppleton, police said. He lived in the same block according to police.
Charles K. Jackson Jr., 32, was killed at 12:51 a.m. Sunday in the 900 block of Ducatel St. in Reservoir Hill, police said. Jackson lived nearby, in the 2300 block of Callow Ave., police said.
Hassan Fields, 20, was killed at 9:06 a.m. Saturday in the 100 block of S. Augusta Ave. in Irvington, police said. Fields lived in the 3700 block of W. Franklin St. in Allendale. When reached by phone, Fields' father declined to comment.
Umika Smith, 24, was killed at 1:28 p.m. Saturday in the 2000 block of Hollins St. in Boyd-Booth. No phone number was listed for her address in the same block. A double shooting happened nearby the following day, injuring a man and a woman, police said.
Bruce Fleming Jr., 23, was killed at 2 p.m. Saturday in the 2800 block of St. Lo Drive in Clifton Park, near Heritage High School, police said. Police said he lived in the 4800 block of Harford Road in Lauraville.
Tyrin Diggs, 19, was killed at 11:06 p.m. Friday in the first block of Benkert Ave. in Saint Josephs, police said. Diggs lived on the 700 block of E. Pontiac Ave. in Brooklyn, police said.
James Mckoy, 21, was killed at 11:51 p.m. Friday in the 1900 block of Wilhelm St., in Carrollton Ridge, police said. He lived in the 300 block S. Monroe St. in the same neighborhood, police said.
Kelvin Warfield, 25, was killed at 4:50 p.m. on Sunday, May 17, in the 100 block of S. Arlington Ave. in Hollins Market, police said. Warfield lived in the 2500 block of W. Fayette St., police said.
Additionally, a 9-year-old shot in the leg was among the victims in the shootings that took place over Memorial Day weekend, Baltimore police said.
Baltimore is not alone.
The racially charged protests and demonstrations that have swept the country as a result of perceived police misconduct involving African American “suspects” has created what St. Louis police chief Sam Dotson calls “The Ferguson Effect”, whereby law enforcement are now more reluctant to use force to counter illegal activity for fear of prosecution or, more poignantly, for fear of finding themselves cast as the villain that catalyzes widespread civil unrest. This effect, some say, has led to a dramatic increase in violent crime throughout the country.
Via WSJ:
In Milwaukee, homicides were up 180% by May 17 over the same period the previous year. Through April, shootings in St. Louis were up 39%, robberies 43%, and homicides 25%. “Crime is the worst I’ve ever seen it,” said St. Louis Alderman Joe Vacarro at a May 7 City Hall hearing.
Murders in Atlanta were up 32% as of mid-May. Shootings in Chicago had increased 24% and homicides 17%. Shootings and other violent felonies in Los Angeles had spiked by 25%; in New York, murder was up nearly 13%, and gun violence 7%.
Those citywide statistics from law-enforcement officials mask even more startling neighborhood-level increases. Shooting incidents are up 500% in an East Harlem precinct compared with last year; in a South Central Los Angeles police division, shooting victims are up 100%.
By contrast, the first six months of 2014 continued a 20-year pattern of growing public safety. Violent crime in the first half of last year dropped 4.6% nationally and property crime was down 7.5%. Though comparable national figures for the first half of 2015 won’t be available for another year, the January through June 2014 crime decline is unlikely to be repeated…
Almost any police shooting of a black person, no matter how threatening the behavior that provoked the shooting, now provokes angry protests..
Acquittals of police officers for the use of deadly force against black suspects are now automatically presented as a miscarriage of justice…
This incessant drumbeat against the police has resulted in what St. Louis police chief Sam Dotson last November called the “Ferguson effect.” Cops are disengaging from discretionary enforcement activity and the “criminal element is feeling empowered,” Mr. Dotson reported. Arrests in St. Louis city and county by that point had dropped a third since the shooting of Michael Brown in August. Not surprisingly, homicides in the city surged 47% by early November and robberies in the county were up 82%.
Similar “Ferguson effects” are happening across the country as officers scale back on proactive policing under the onslaught of anti-cop rhetoric. Arrests in Baltimore were down 56% in May compared with 2014.
“Any cop who uses his gun now has to worry about being indicted and losing his job and family,” a New York City officer tells me. “Everything has the potential to be recorded. A lot of cops feel that the climate for the next couple of years is going to be nonstop protests.”
And while Heather Mac Donald — the author of the WSJ piece, Thomas W. Smith fellow at the Manhattan Institute, and the author of “Are Cops Racist?” — may be correct to say that “contrary to the claims of the 'black lives matter' movement, no government policy in the past quarter century has done more for urban reclamation than proactive policing. Data-driven enforcement, in conjunction with stricter penalties for criminals and “broken windows” policing, has saved thousands of black lives, brought lawful commerce and jobs to once drug-infested neighborhoods and allowed millions to go about their daily lives without fear,” it certainly seems reasonable to suggest that the logic behind the following statement from an NYPD officer Mac Donald interviewed for her piece seems questionable at best:
“Does an officer need to be unconscious before he can use force? If someone is willing to fight you, he’s also willing to take your gun and shoot you. You can’t lose a fight with a guy who has already put his hands on you because if you do, you will likely end up dead.”
Whatever position you care to take on the above, what's clear is that race relations in America are deteriorating, as are class relations with policy decisions at the highest levels serving only to exacerbate the divide between the rich and the poor (as discussed in "America's Class Segregation Problem In Four Charts"), thus creating still more tension in poor communities that have already sufferred from a lack of real opportunities for decades.
Does the recent wave of protests and demonstrations mark an epochal shift in American society or will this all be quietly swept under the rug in order to maintain the appearance of social stability?

What does voting have to do with thinking?
You're a big man behind a keyboard. Take that shiny disposition of yours and walk around in the light of day calling people niggers to their face and put it on Youtube. THEN you'll earn my respect.
When a person encounters a menatally retarded person. should they berate them to their face as retards and then post it to YouTube to make you happy? Would you take pleasure in that?
I find your desire to have people be insulted to their face to be strange and peverse. You really need to find an outlet for your odd desires.
Being black is not a disabilty. Being you is.
Look around the world. Are you REALLY trying to sell the idea that being black isn't a disability?

Was it the Baltimore mayor asking for millions in FEMA money that led you to that conclusion? Your post is simply the most disconnected from reality I've seen today.
Smartest fucking thing I've heard anyone say in the whole Internet! Thanks
civilizing cops has never been achieved in the annals of history. the .1% need their protection and you will pay for it with your life if neccessary. that is the reality according to history.

Sounds like the cops are finally catching on. It's not their job to go around shooting people, it's better to leave law abiding citizens to defend themselves and then record the story and collect the corpses. Citizens are not children who need to be proactively protected from each other.
Gee, who would have thought that telling black people they're not responsible for anything they do would have negative consequences.
I could be a cop. I could even be a good one, in terms of enforcing the laws that are just. But I could never put up with all the bullshit.
The use of the word "triggers" is racist.

Ok, "law enforcement are now more reluctant to use force to counter illegal activity for fear of prosecution or, more poignantly, for fear of finding themselves cast as the villain that catalyzes widespread civil unrest."
Where do we start here?
- The cops are not more reluctant to use force.
- They are not afraid of prosecution.
- They are not afraid of finding themselves cast as the villain.
Get it right - cops are fine with using force when they have equal or superior numbers. Cops are slowing down and not being proactive when it comes to investigating crimes, robberies, domestic arguments, etc. If they have to put themselves in harms way they will sit and call for backup.
GOOD! I talked to a white cop yesterday who said they are all standing down and letting the EBT crowd destroy each other.
4 over the limit is the new 5.
Watch yourself there.
GOOD! I talked to a white cop yesterday who said they are all standing down and letting the EBT crowd destroy each other.
So how are cops who take money for doing nothing different from the EBT crowd? Why is it "GOOD" that I have to pay taxes to support people who openly refuse to do their job? Why don't these cops just quit their jobs if they find them to be too difficult?
They are just letting Al Sharpton solve the problem. Or, once the country is pissed off enough at black communities, you will see what the FEMA camps were really built for. Round all these clowns with a record up. Chip them. Re-educate them on how to do manual labor. Put them to work for Warren Buffet for free. Then we can compete with Chinese slave labor.
You're not getting it. They aren't doing nothing. They're answering calls and doing their jobs by the book. What they aren't doing is the more aggressive policing so many are complaining about. That includes using intuition borne of experience in the streets. They AREN'T being proactive in stopping crime before it occurs. The stuff that makes all the difference in the world. Enjoy!
I can believe that cops are doing a work slowage, but I'm skeptical that this is connected to the homicide rate. The police have never had much ability to interfere with gang conflicts, becuase there are just too few of them around.
"So how are cops who take money for doing nothing different from the EBT crowd?"
Well, for one thing, they show up for work.
Nigs gone wild.
I love how the treasonous criminals that have abdicated their true responsibilities so as to serve as revenue agents and usury collectors for power and Zion blame their victims for the results of their abdication, and not on their own crimes and behavior.
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
"Don't believe the hype. It's Zionist tripe."
SwiTch just oNe letter and it still makes sense.
We're up to 111 now. The way I look at it, as long as it's just thugrats getting killed, that ultimately benefits the rest of us in the long run.
Each one that gets capped now is 4-5 we don't have to deal with a generation later.
Perhaps you could run the "Jesus Hates Coons" concession for Westboro Baptist.
All these closet KKKers are pretty brave aren't they Bill? I thought this shit was gone but I see it's as virulent as ever. Proves what blacks have been saying for years.... pure unadulterated basic racism is still alive and well.
Ron Paul tried to straighten them out but it was to great a task even for that great man.
Hahaha... I got downvoted for pointing out racism is thriving... by a racist. You can't make this shit up. You're on a roll Bill. I'll let you have the floor dude. Cheers.
I'm a white guy, and appalled. But I'll keep reading this shit. There is not a lot of thinking going on with a lot of what's being posted.
Well, isn't that just exactly what the narrative must promote? Clod. I've only recently become a racist, and btw, there are far worse things in life.
There are any number of failings which are not the worst things in life but that doesn't mean that you should embrace them.
Funny how you consider facts and statistics to be racist.

I was telling my wife the other day that if I were a cop and was responding to a call in an African American neighborhood, that I would think real hard about slowing down and waiting for the 'action' to end. I would also just say 'be nice' and let everyone go.
Actually, few policies have done more for urban reclamation than forcing blacks to move on.
America never had a "crime" problem. It had a nigger problem. The solution that had the best chance of working was always simple---deport them to their own country, Liberia, where they could kill each other to their hearts' content. Too bad carrying it out would have required a government with a backbone and not in thrall to banksters.
More whites are killed by whites than by blacks but you applaud this and say that it is not a problem. Why do you want white folks to die?
Billy, and in-terms of over-all consumption more whites are on welfare but the relevant figure is the percentage of either crime or welfare. Blacks represent 12 % of the population and commit 55% of the homicides.
.
B/c whites dont cause the problems that niggers do. How bout you fix the nigger crime problem?
That's a problem for your psychiatrist, not me.
Fuck you, you are just like every other nigger. Somebody else owes you whatever you need that moment, and there isn't anything wrong with niggers.
I have not suggested that anyone owes me anything. If I have then cite the quote.
Refusal to acknowledge that niggers bring with them MASSIVE crime and social issues that cannot be addressed by another handout or reverse discrimination program.
I never said that. That's why you had to paraphrase what you thought I said rather than provide a legitimate quote. Would you like to try again?
For those who do have a few IQ points to rub together I will restate my position: End the welfare-warfare state.
I dont know or care what 'end the welfare-warfare state' means. I do wish people would see the nigger problem in our country for what it is. A willful refusal to participate in civil society, as defined by lawful participation in our Constitutional Republic independent of social welfare or systemic reverse discrimination programs.
I dont know or care what 'end the welfare-warfare state' means.
Well there's your problem. I say that welfare should be ended, stopped, nixed, finished, eighty-sixed and you interpret that to mean I favor increased welfare. Doesn't being that stupid make you feel a little dumb sometimes?
"Most politicians and pundits are aware of the problems we face but spend all their time in trying to reform government. The sad part is that the suggested reforms almost always lead to less freedom and the importance of a virtuous and moral people is either ignored, or not understood. The new reforms serve only to further undermine liberty. The compounding effect has given us this steady erosion of liberty and the massive expansion of debt. The real question is: if it is liberty we seek, should most of the emphasis be placed on government reform or trying to understand what "a virtuous and moral people" means and how to promote it. The Constitution has not prevented the people from demanding handouts for both rich and poor in their efforts to reform the government, while ignoring the principles of a free society. All branches of our government today are controlled by individuals who use their power to undermine liberty and enhance the welfare/warfare state—and frequently their own wealth and power." -- Ron Paul's Farewell Address to Congress
"End the welfare-warfare state." Great Billy lets end it tomorrow, I will move to a neighborhood full of laid off MIC engineers you move to S. Chicago after one month we will compare notes, if your still alive. See the difference...
I love how responding to the decline of society - as a victim - means you have a psych problem. You're supposed to unconditionally love your oppressor GNYPT! Lol. Thank you Freud and the Frankfurt School of Goy Self-Hatred.
That's a great response Billy. lol. Your complete and total inability to refute facts and reality speaks volumes about the impotence of your position.
I fail to see how that means the the acts of white criminals is not a problem. When I was held up at gun point by a white man the fact that he was white didn't make me feel any better about it.
Now you are just lying.
I was held up by a white guy with a gun at the State College Uni-mart on Easter Sunday 1985. Why do you find that to be unbelievable?
"Why do you find that to be unbelievable?"
Because everything you've posted on this thread has been complete, unadulterated horse shit. That's why.
That's an interesting reason for you to support white criminals. But I suppose that it's natural for you to stick up for your kin folk.
Jesus Christ, you are a twisted fuck trying to spin this away from niggers being called out for their insatiable, uncontrollable desire to commit violent crime. Look @ the FBI crime stats. Look @ the London crime stats. Look @ African crime stats. Niggers are going to commit an outrageous amount of violent crime per 100,000 niggers. Compare that rate to any other ethnicity.
I'm not afraid of black people. I interact with them daily. But then I'm not a coward.
I interact with black people daily as well. I also interact with niggers every day. I fear neither.
Of course you do. You'd have to be an idiot not to be afraid of such people as you imagine.
Perhaps the reason why you believe that you live in a world where you are constantly under attack by vicious niggers while they don't bother me in the least has more to do with the way you act and think than with the way blacks act and think.
I lived on 127th between Lenox and 5th for years. That's like getting a PhD in nigger. 1 night out of 10, shit got crazy. The brownstone across the street was where all the dealing took place. By then, the area was gentrifying (meaning 3 flophouses on my block had declined to only 1). There was 1 time where a nigress started banging her machete on cars after her man cheated. I overheard some drug dealers on the block talk about the 'good old days' before cops patrolled the hood. Then there was 'the crew' who enjoyed patrolling 125th street harassing crackers, and chasing them from time to time. 2 niggers tried to mug me once during that period, but they got scared. It was a different type of rush walking 125th between 2 and 4 AM when nobody was out.
But yeah, sure, I'm a coward who doesnt know niggers.
I've lived among white people for over fifty years. Lots of them screwed me over. Lots of them were sluts and drunks and thieves. Can you suggest a cute little word to call such people? Obviously finding a word for undesirable individuals of a particular race is important to you and I defer to your expertise.
Niggers in Harlem used the word 'Cracker'.
So race baiting is something that you have in common, then? It's nice to see like minded people come together like that. It gives one hope that someday crackers, niggers, spics and gooks can all meet in an orgy of violently good fellowship.
Riight. Cuz this multicultural bullshit with its 'diversity is our greatest strength' propaganda is so very representative of reality. 'Race-baiting'? You mean what our Preezy does every time he says 'If I had a son . . ."?
Yes, that's exactly what I mean. When you and Obama deflect attention from real issues by race baiting you play right into Obama's own hands. Haven't you realized that the media and politicians love it when you scream about the evil "niggers?" That's a great source of power for them.
Billy, the one good point you made.. Nice, now if we can just get the majority of blacks to reject dependance on the government and raise children of decent moral character we can remove that power from DC. I think we can agree productive moral people are better for society be they white or black.
Niggers are a problem. Free shit and reverse discrimination haven't fixed this problem. You need to recognize this.

Actually, it's gone on for a long time. Before the Cincinnati riots of about 10 years ago, the cops were racist for DOING their jobs. After the Cincinnati riots, the cops quit policing the worst parts of town; crime went up and the cops were racist for NOT doing their jobs. Like someone else said, the USA doesn't have a crime problem, it has a NIGGER problem. Black males make up about 6% of the population, but are responsible for more than 50% of all robberies, rapes, assaults and murders. Not to mention the highest rates of all new STD infections are among blacks.
Whites in the USA have been conditioned by the Jew controlled media to feel guilty about slavery, when there were slaves all over the planet 150 years ago. Whites were the first ones to outlaw slavery. One thing I like about Hispanics is that they aren't guilt conditioned and don't give a flying fuck about Political Correctness. They will run blacks out of their neighborhoods or kill them outright for fucking around. When the race war does start, and it is part of ZOG's agenda, niggers will be decimated by the 87% that are not black and are tired of their bullshit!

I've lived next door to black folks for years and I still don't understand your point.

It was a joke at your expenses using turnabout and satire in order to humorously portray your "achievement" as something akin to those "awards" they give to nondescript individuals simply for participating. But just because I overestimated your ability to underachieve is no reason to feel bad about it. I'll just aim a little lower next time.
If you need to explain it, its not much of a joke.

IQ dont show the intelligence of a person directy, it shows the persons abillity to solve tasks is a restricted amount of time.
for example: a person good in math, a true genius on solving mathematical questions is a total idiot in real life with bizarre interpretation of reality.
time pressure and stress, daytime, condition of person can lead to different resultes, positive and negative way
persons background and experience can affect results
I don't play along with it, it's just there. But I plan on bagging the legal limt of bucks when it happens.
Not if I see you first.
That's insane don't you think? ZOG's love the niggers, it's their foil.
Speaking of foil....
I think in the long run you are right. But in the short term white folks are not going to like what goes down in cities like Atlanta and Jackson. Ethnic cleansing is a bitch for any minority that finds itself on the wrong side of the equation. As this collapse unwinds I suspect we are going to shed a good bit of our population. I for one do not expect to make it to the other side.
Enabling works great...thanks Liberals, you're doing one hell of a job (at destabilizing this country).

Why? Because the mentality of tribalism remains long after there's even a target for it.

The racially charged protests and demonstrations that have swept the country as a result of perceived police misconduct
PERCEIVED!
WTF?
Generally, this is a good development. Perhaps the police forces throughout the United States should adhere to the hypocratic oath: "First, do no harm!"
Has anyone looked at annual homicide numbers day to day from other years? My guess is that, duh, you see a rate increase - oh about Memorial Day and then throughout the summer. My understanding is that Baltimore is currently at better numbers than in 2004/2005. I don't remember an all-out nation-wide MSM story push about how "police have backed down" due to race (bait) tensions in those relatively recent years that cities saw a 2 month bump. We all know that coincidence isn't causality, but the fallacy certainly seems to work on Americans. My guess is that this is just a precursor to the federalization of police. Obama already pushed some nonsense measure he claimed would restrict all the MRAPs which have been handed out to local police - oh wait, it means the locals need to be under Federal supervision and authority to use them. Next step, a nation-wide federalized police network that ignores immigration, but enforces whether or not your zipper is closed all the way on your gun case in the trunk. Obviously, that last bit only lasts for a year, before nomoregunsforplebs. GLHF America!
You're talking sense. The police have little power to prevent inner-city shootings in the first place.
What happened to all those gang members - From Quelling Looters to Saving Lives, Baltimore Gangs Are Doing A Better Job Than Police ?
"Members of the Crips, Bloods and BGF, Baltimore’s three largest gangs, even stood with city council members during a press conference this week. The council members spoke very highly of the gang members and their recent efforts.“These men have been out on the street quelling the senseless violence that has consumed our city. After meeting with them today it is clear that the notion they were planning on harming our police officers is false and simply deterred the resources we needed to focus on the individuals who instigated these riots. I applaud these young men for standing here and speaking out for our city.” City Council President Bernard C. Young said.
I do have concern about the police becoming Taser Happy, but not knowing anything about police work (including Taser), it's not clear to me why the resort to 'deadly force' when there may be other reliable alternatives for disabling a suspect. Any insights here ?
Policing is one of those jobs, like politics, where in a perfect world, the people who wanted the job would be excluded for that reason. But it's possible to make things worse or better. Alcohol Prohibition was abandoned for many reasons, but one reason was that everyone could see that law-enforcement was being corrupted. Maybe calling off the Drug War would help.
Everybody could get along if we just moved the basket or hoop about 5 feet higher to eliminate slam-dunking, and abolished the three-point rule.
The Chosenite media incites low IQ blax to riot by repeating ridiculous lies, and only reporting on the RARE cases where a white kills a black. Blacks are never guilty, and never commit hate crimes according to the Chosenite race baiters.
The goal of this Chosenite media race stirring seems to be a nationalized police force.....which Obama's racist trash buddy Al Sharpton just called for last week.....coincidence you say? Same coincidence as Baltimore's negro mayor attending meetings with Obama where the topic of a National Police Force was on the agenda.
Though i'm sure liberals would love a nationalized police force, I think the real explanation is that it's an unconscious 'get-out-the-vote' program for Democrats. "Chosenite" media types believe that police violence is an evil associated with their Republican opponents(*), and I think they believe that these stories help to remind African Americans of the importance of showing up on polling day.
(* I have no clue why they believe this, since police brutality seems only to be a problem in cities with decades of exclusively Democrat governance.)
GET OUT THE VOTE? NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH
TRAYVON = 2012 ELECTION SEASON
MIKEY BROWN = 2014 ELECTION SEASON
FREDDIE GRAY OFFICERS ACQUITTED = YOU GUESSED IT......IT WILL BE OCTOBER BEFORE THE ELECTION
If you don't feel you can go to the police for help, then that is a problem. And yes, you can't go to the police for help. They are law enforcement officers, not crime prevention officers. So, these murders are probably people trying to take the law into their own hands.
