look, crime rates are higher in cities than urban areas. They just are. Always have been. But we shouldn't let the Rs own the crime spike issue. The spike was when trump was president and it happened in both rural and urban places.
Biden and Harris ended it.

Crime as a talking point has always been implemented to induce irrational fear. You’re much more likely to die in a car accident, or get some type of heart disease, than get randomly killed walking down the street. A lot of Republican talking points are fear based. Immigration, crime, trans/gay panic.
Vice President Kamala Harris will be sitting down with MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle for her second solo interview since beginning her bid for the presidency.

So long as you ignore missing crime data, lack of cops, dismissed charges by Soros DAs and people giving up on filing police reports.
Also ignoring downgraded charges and the fact that people have given up reporting most property crimes. Like in San Francisco with car break-ins, stores allowing shoplifters taking goods out the door.
Sure “less” crimes! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Setting aside that what you wrote sounds silly, that has nothing to do with why they started, and why peaceful protests escalated as they did.
Having a President who was entirely uninterested in even acknowledging that there was a problem with how law enforcement interacted with minority communities, and was entirely silent on how to solve or improve the problem, caused some of this. And when Trump said things like "when the shooting starts, the looting starts", things only got worse. We should expect more from our so-called leaders.
What problem is there with police? Off the top of your head, how many unarmed black men are shot by police per year in total?
The problem with police in Minneapolis is well known to anyone living there for awhile. I've tried to explain to people who are not from urban areas how much the police terrorize communities. Where I live now, I have no issue with police, its a night and day difference the way they interact with the community. I think this is one of the problems with the messaging of groups like BLM, there isn't enough of an attempt made to help people understand that precincts are definitely not the same.
sub 9 is a smart guy but lordy he gets his news from paranoid for-profit people who sound smart but are peddling garbage to the gullible. The Joe Rogan set.
Nope, I think independently and critically, just as I did with the Covid vaccine. And I can spot Kabuki Theatre and hypocrisy when I see. It’s just that those who think their existential threat to Democracy is less bad don’t want to be told they are ignorant. Nothing I’ve ever written is actually an endorsement of Trump. That’s what’s so funny, that people can’t understand nuance.
By the way, CBS, CNBC, and Newsweek hovering around the middle of that first link is hardly supporting your case. Lol. Far from it. We all know Fox and to the right is right wing media.

How do police “terrorize” communities? Is it better to allow drug dealers and criminals to have free reign to commit violent crime and terrorize their communities?

dude you think pelosi had a major role in J6 security. That tells us the kind of place you get your news from. Garbage, garbage, garbage. Why smart people blow their credibility over and over, I don't know.

I as a teenager was assaulted by a police officer while walking home from school because a friend I was walking with called him a Pig. I defended my friend and was roughed up, shouted and swore at and shoved into the back of his car and detained while he went through my backpack and lectured me.
Not going into a long diatribe about it. But thats just standard protocol of how they interacted with the community. Growing up there it didn't matter if you were a criminal or not, you were an animal in their eyes.
And no, drug dealers and criminals should not be allowed to terrorize the communities. But people should feel safe in that if there are those people terrorizing the community that they can call the police and not have to worry that the police will be worse than dealing with the criminals. Which is how it was growing up there. But please, argue with me like you've lived.
One other quick note. I had a black friend in high school he joined the MPD in hopes to help his community. He was one the scene of the George Floyd incident. Because of lots of reasons he cannot make public (such as threats on his life) he has since quit the force. There are lots of good officers, but often theres nothing they can do to fight the tide of toxic behavior within the departments.

It's so easy to get the facts right. Do it.
She all but acknowledged it actually. You know this, right? I mean, she danced around it, but she said what any critically thinking person who doesn’t see J6 as this iconic moment that supports their case at any and whatever cost would see.
You are fixated on J6. I get it. J6 happened. Even as it’s the “people’s house,” it was appalling. Trump didn’t act expediently enough and his supporters were too dumb not to take the bait. But it’s still not the *existential* threat to Democracy that the Harris Dems are cultivating and have cultivated over the past 3-4 years (and it really started with Covid).
something like 51% of the country thinks the trump admin was a success, and only something like 30% think the Biden admin was a success. Which is utterly absurd.
We'll vote in trump again and we will get the chaos and wickedness and poverty we deserve.
We have a memory of 5 minutes and we believe right wing propaganda.

Rest assured your views are going to get shoved aside shortly with more direct lies and tired trump lines.

you tell me what role the speaker of the house had in weak capitol building security on J6, link to a real news website for proof, and get back to me.

If any Trumpers are still confused about how Trump is in fact a threat to democracy we have your back.
Trumps DC trial judge has allowed Jack Smith to publicly file 200 pages of evidence and testimony not seen before of Trumps efforts to illegally stay in power in 2020.

This is not a serious country.
People forget, but I think Trump's disastrous term is still fresh. An insignificant number of Biden voters are going to go with Trump now... and those are crazy of course. The trumpers are in a cult so of course they will turn out, but they are a smaller group now than in 2020. The ONLY question is whether Ds will have a strong turnout. Everything indicates it will be enough.

I've discussed this stuff enough times to know you are right. But whenever Minneapolis gets brought up it just drives me nuts. So many folks who've grown up in their nice suburban towns where police are just friendly neighbors haven't a clue whats its like to grow up in urban communities where police harassing you for existing from as long as you can remember. Its traumatizing.

nah we'll vote in trump again and then in four years the polls will show great love for the good old peace and prosperity days of the Biden administration.
Wild and sad that both mitt romney and michael cohen are preparing to leave the country because they think there's a good chance trump will follow through with this threats and retaliate against them with his new toy, the United States Department of Justice.
