Gun crimes

As the move to defund police by groups such as Black Lives Matter begins to backfire a new group has stepped forth to counter the crime spree. The group All Black Life Matters wants to refund the police. This group is possible because it is no longer taboo to point out that most Blacks are murdered by other Blacks and that Black young men represent half of all murders even though they are only 6% of the population. The center of crime over the past years has been and still is Black neighborhoods in the inner cities. Nothing has been done to reduce this problem because every time it comes up the answer is too many guns on the street. The problem is young criminals fighting over drug territory. The immediate solution is to arrest and incarcerate anyone involved in a gun related crime. New York City reduced crime by using policies like stop and frisk. This policy was deemed discriminatory since a disproportional number of young Black men were arrested. No consideration was given to the fact that a disproportional number of young Black men are involved in gun crimes. This is just a matter of math.
