    I don't know where to start....you seem to have difficulty interpreting simple charts. Can you understand this one? https://si.wsj.net/public/resources/images/NY-DP403_NYPOLI_9U_20150520183620.jpg Where is the 35% increase? It makes me skeptical of your voracity.

    Who's doing all the denial? You are. "Community activists hate ShotSpotter"? Another dubious claim and then you go on....Lock'm up at a average cost of $35k a year in tax money, have police tell people in poverty "aggressively" to get a job, pulling SNAP won't make kids go hungry.

    Let me know when gang bangers start going by the Constitution but our government agencies should.

    "Temporary sterilization" isn't a thing.

    Expecting them to act like "regular people" hasn't happened yet and you think it ever will?

    It costs on average $35,000 a year to incarcerate, maybe we can spend it more wisely on social services.

    Social programs to stop gangs....https://abc7chicago.com/stop-the-violence-resources-chicago-in/3894299/

    I'm taking back being incredulous about the 35%....good read about history of NYPD start at page 8 and read sections 3&4. It went from disfunction to actually enforcing the law and policing called "Broken Windows". http://johnjay.jjay.cuny.edu/files/White.pdf

    They can't. That would be racist.
