Assault on black lives will increase in Americas inner cities.

THEY ARE GOING TO GET THEIR WISH, LESS POLICE INTERVENTION

ONLY FOOLISH POLICE WILL VENTURE INTO MINORITY NEIGHBORHOODS



It is the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for",  you may just get it. That is the reality of America's inner cities today. Without a doubt police are going to be reluctant to answer calls in neighborhoods were they have been subjected to ridicule, insults and assault. It is only human nature to avoid excessive risk. It is just a survival instinct.

Why would any sane police officer go into areas where it has been demonstrated that he is not wanted. These neighborhoods protect the lawless and do not want the law enforced. That is likely to be the trend for the foreseeable future.

Maybe they in their infinite wisdom can come up with a better solution in their neighborhood. They have made it clear that police are not the answer. They can appoint, elect or however they choose have a cadre of social workers to council the lawless and reason with them to respect the lives and property of the citizens of their neighborhood. They should have the right to choose what kind of society they want to have in their neighborhood. If it is without police, so be it. 

So far the statistics are not good, the numbers of murders, assaults and shootings have increased dramatically in recent weeks.  The number of black lives lost, by the hand of other blacks, is skyrocketing. Hopefully, maybe the worst offenders will eliminate each other and peace and tranquility will become the norm. 

America has always been a nation of innovation and new possibilities. We have often questioned norms that have been around for thousands of years. After all, we were the first to decide we did not want a king to rule over us. Many of the founders believed this experiment required self discipline from the populace to succeed.  Self-restraint guided by moral values is a requisite for self government. Every once in while some in society believes it has to reinvent the wheel. It is often a great learning experience.
