Don't really feel sorry for them if they are progressive. They shouldn't be so naive not to know this is what their policy leads to.

Another resident, Mitchell Erickson, said he regretted calling 911 when two black teenagers cornered him a block away from his home, held a gun to his chest and demanded his car keys. Erickson said he mistakenly handed over his house keys, and the frustrated teens left him only to steal another car a few blocks away.

“Been thinking more about it,” Erickson said in a text message to a reporter. “I regret calling the police. It was my instinct but I wish it hadn’t been. I put those boys in danger of death by calling the cops.”


That mother fricker needs to do the world a favor and blow his goddamn brains out. What a useless cowardly piece of shite. That is white guilt at it's finest and it fricking makes me want to puke.

Residents though have agreed to “check their privilege” and “protect people of color” by not involving law enforcement to report instances of property damage, according to the New York Times.


My pea brain cannot even comprehend the level of lunacy involved in this twisted logic.

There is no way this article is real. Fox coming out with a bang with their new satire section.


I messed up and double posted a section of the article in my OP. I went back and fixed it. But this is the other quote I meant to submit. We had our first social worker call......of course no one answered.

quote:

Another neighbor, Joseph Menkevich, who lives in an apartment complex two blocks from the park, said he first called a community activist, who did not pick up the phone, before dialing 911 after finding a black man with a hospital bracelet passed out in the elevator of his building.

“It didn’t resolve in a way that I had hoped,” Menkevich said. “All they did was offer to bring him back to the hospital. He refused, so they kicked him out on a rainy night.”

This has to be a troll. Like Fox accidentally published a Babylon bee story.

Ignorant people calling for the abolition of police knowing absolutely nothing about much shite they take care of that no one else wants to do.

Like running off homeless people loitering around your neighborhood doing drugs.

These idiots deserve to be victims. I hope they steal everything from every single idiot in that neighborhood.

Reading the NYT article this ripped off was pretty amazing.

One of the residents took a class on racism and then felt bad about buying a house in the neighborhood because it meant that a person of color didn't.

Her mom had spent 30 years in the neighborhood doing community events and regretted that she didn't make things better, she had only gentrified it.

Many of the Hispanic residents felt left out because the "collective conversation" was in English and not Spanish.

I don't know about that, I live in probably the most Republican neighborhood in the State, there is no way in hell any of my neighbors would agree not to call the Sheriff's Office out of some sense of solidarity with criminals. No f*cking way.

Has the IQ of the American populace plummeted over the last decade? On the one hand, police brutality should not be tolerated. On the other hand, the police are absolutely essential to maintaining order and the rule of law. It's obvious that they are.

Umm... no. There might be some protests in Little Rock, and some indoctrinated college kids might even try staking out a section in Fayetteville, but lawlessness and violence? No. Arkansas is one of the highest per capita in gun ownership in the country, and even our idiots know that they would be getting their asses shot off in short order.

“Yeah I know and yeah it was scary but the cops didn’t really have much to add after I called them,” he continued. “I haven’t been forced to think like this before. So I would have lost my car. So what? At least no one would have been killed.”


I'm gonna say there's about a 95% chance this guy has filmed his wife getting porked.
