re: BR Crime Due to "Generational Trauma", per Murphy Paul

Murphy Paul says all this shite, while he lives at Pelican Point, Golf and Country Club

Here's your BRPD Police Chief, Murphy Paul, blaming BR crime on "generational trauma" and the lack of "support for black boys" from, presumably, you.

I watched the whole speech and that's not what he was saying at all.

There are things Murphy Paul can be criticized for but you're grossly mischaracterizing his words here IMO. He actually lays out what I would call a conservative/right wing ideological framework about the causes of crime.

Disregard for education, no value for human life, breakdown of the family unit, lack of church and community anchors, not caring about consequences, etc.

Then we didn't watch the same thing.

Nor do you know Murphy like the rest of us do.

If you have an excuse for everything, you have a solution for noting.

Print the shirt

Lack of accountability. For his constituents and for himself

How can you have “generational trauma” if you don’t know your family?

Even if their dads weren’t in jail, they probably would never see them.

If you listen to it slowly in reverse at one point he says “dekcuf si RB”

Vietnamese came over in the 70's and were presumably allowed to drink from the same water fountains.

Not the case as late as 1964 for a certain group .... so how do you think the different rules for aid, loans, housing etc would play out over generations ?

So many barriers existed to acquire and build wealth, it's hardly surprising there is a cycle of poverty, crime and hardship with no real solution on our lifetime.

Seems like the Vietnamese found a solution
