Damaged police trust helped fuel retaliatory murders, criminologists say
2022-02-07
Bad headline. Should be something like Damaged Trust In Police Fueled Revenge Murders, Say Criminologists.
[FoxNews] Packing culture, retaliation became worse after George Floyd died.

Larry McMichael was arrested for a gun charge before he could retaliate against his brother’s killer, the reformed drug dealer, who has been shot 22 times, told Fox News.

But others were shot in the fallout. The victim’s best friend, for example, was killed.

"It was a lot of going back and forth," McMichael said.

His story embodies what criminologists told Fox News: packing culture and a drive to retaliate, rather than turn to law enforcement, has driven homicides in the nation’s capital. Those elements have become more prevalent since trust in law enforcement deteriorated after the defund the police movement took hold following George Floyd’s killing.

#5  The BLM grifters were never about "justice" or "progress." The goal was to line one's pockets and strike at The Man ... aka Anarchy For Fun and Profit

#2  Vendetta - see Romeo and Juliette

It took the 'state' hundreds of years to end the practice by promising justice. It has spent the last 50 years dismantling justice because it often times icky and nasty. Just look around as the Bolshevik DAs treat perps as victims.

#1  This was the whole idea. There's a lot of ruin in a country, and someone has to commit the arson to start those fires. America is strong because it is a trust-based society. People generally trust strangers. The left's whole idea in starting the riots was to destroy societal trust. Their endgame is to destroy the United States, western culture and white people, in any order. Only then can the board be cleared so they can build their perfect social justice utopia.
