You'd get armed gangs controlling the streets. Leaving the house would
be a big risk.

I believe that the idea is to disband a dysfunctional police
department and reconfigure it with a different structure and different
people. Working with a current police department has not worked, the
existing structure and manpower ignored any oversight or rulings.

The forefathers of America weren't dumb. The second Amendment to our Constitution guarantees the people's right to arm bears. We can replace our police force with bands (herds?) of bears with shotguns. In this way shall the tranquility of our nation be assured. Of course, it wouldn't work in yoose town. All you got is meek and mild bears that don't ever leave their trees.

Yes, a structural change might be good. I though that by 'disbanding'
they meant getting rid of police altogether.

But the number of black on black homicides is still a higher rate than
any other. The facts are not racist. 13% of the population is
committing a disproportionate number of murders to themselves.
 
From your source:
Black people have consistently accounted for close to half the country's
homicide victims, making up more than 50 percent of the broader pool of
those killed overall every year since 2010. The number of black victims
increased 15 percent in 2015 over 2014.

Beats me, Why do a small percentage of the population tend to kill each
other more than other segments? Fact is, they do. I guess they don't
teat each other very well.

It means getting rid of a corrupt bad system and starting anew. Disbanding our Honolulu PD might be a good idea.

I displayed strong stereotypes or I referred to some unfortunate facts?

My profile? I referred to the overwhelming number of murders of black
men by other black men. We are talking criminals here, and it's
criminals who cops have to deal with day after day after day. I know
that there are well educated and hard working black people. I do not
automatically associate them with the gun toting thugs who make their
neighbourhoods unsafe. I said that I would be more supportive of BLM if
they would rally against the black people killing other black people.

Perhaps in the US. There is a long history of slavery, segregation and
lynching the US. The protests have spread up here, despite the fact that
the vast majority of our black population are recent immigrants. They
weren't slaves here. They great grandparents were slaves here, but we
constantly hear about black racism and 500 years of slavery.
 
We get the same complaints about natives and blacks being
disproportionately represented in the the courts and jails. Heaven
forbid anyone would ever acknowledge that is a direct reflection of the
crime in their community and the people doing it.
 
As for profiling..... the police in Toronto and Hamilton were dealing
with a lot of violent crimes, most of it involving drugs and gangs. They
started a program of "carding", checking the ID of people hanging out
in high crime areas. The black and native communities objected, saying
that they were being profiled. After considerable debate and political
interference, the police in those cities were told to stop carding.
 
The results were almost immediate. The murder rate rose by about 50%.
Despite the number of young black men being murders rising dramatically,
there was not a peep from BLM about the victims in their community.

That "disbanding" resulted in many more police in the new department.
That must have had something to do with the results. As did other
changes in approach.

It's a pretty sad day when resorting to hard statistical data are deemed
to be politically incorrect. It is not good to run one's live on a set
of stereotypes, but sometimes people have to come to grips with the idea
that there is often a root cause to those stereotypes.
 
 
My son had to deal with racial prejudice when he lived in Africa. He
once got into a fight with a black guy who hated him because he was
white. Lucky for the boy that he had friends who were boxers and he knew
how to fight, plus having some black friends there. The worst racism was
the treatment his black staff were treated with by the Asians.
It ranked up there with the images of treatment of blacks by whites in
the South in the last century.

It looks like it is a matter of how percentages of people treat others.

Why yes, one of us guys is not like the other. One of us lives in a place
where the water is filthy and so is the air. One of us loves Hawaii and
Hawaiians and the other hates Hawaiians. One of us uses a proper newsreader
and the other doesn't. My guess is that one of us has a brain injury. :)

For breakfast, this morning, I made some Mexican chorizo with eggs. This was wrapped up in a tortilla. It was pretty tasty but you probably don't want to know what's in Mexican chorizo. 🤐

It was just a little spicy with a delightful paprika smell. Of course, I added some Sriracha to my burrito - also some cheese.

Oh for fucks sake. They're not racist. Pointing out the facts and
using reason and logic is not racist. That Mantra Defense needs to
stop. Calling somebody a racist for that is simply a cop-out to
ignore the facts - there is no correlation at all.

Americans are very familiar with this creature. It moves about by spinning so fast that you can't see them. They have the ability to speak but are unable to express themselves with words. Of course, they only exist in cartoons - thank God!
