More police or more social programs?
This is a great question. How do you stop crime or change the culture of our nation's inner cities?
My answer:
Neither.
Social programs have been failing for almost 40 years now. And it depends what type you are talking about. The socialism put in place by liberals has caused the inner city to get much, much worse.
The projects created a society of filth and crime....those have been torn down.
Welfare in the liberal sense created a whole group of people who became dependent on the government and made them much worse off...maybe that is the way liberals wanted it.
Social programs that give you a push in the right direction might help, but probably not much.
More police doesn't work because the police live in the PC/racist world so they can't do their jobs. Even when they do get the job done, liberal judges let criminals out of jail early or don't put them in jail at all.
The ONLY answer is for black leaders to start preaching the conservative message: personal responsibility, hard work, and pride in yourself, your community and country.
This approach would probably take 20 years to work, but the other two options have not worked for 40.

Actually, game, inner cities were thriving until Nixon burnt all the programs and imprisoned alll the leaders.
Scorpion says---
Inner cities including Milwaukee
were long past thriving well before
Nixon.
rhyno...I know you like to follow the Dem strategy of just saying this...thus making them true...but here..just saying stuff does not make it true
I don't want to sound PC, but there are certainly more than blacks mucking up things in the inner cities. However, the message of which Game refers is absolutely necessary for everyone. Concealed carry wouldn't hurt, either.
I think (in general, in any inner city) police officers who have the balls to bust people doesn't hurt. I see a lot of fear of actually doing something about people going on. Fear of retribution, fear of becoming outside of the "click", fear of a lot of things. Authorities need to quit being afraid of busting people, and start cracking down on them.
I am talking about the bigger cities. The sight of minorities taking care of their own, and pulling themselves up was too much. I shouldnt say Nixon did it himself, but he definitely chose not to do anything about the shunning of the Constitution by state and local leaders.
Oh, and what you are describing is called 'spin', game. Look to pcd and marshall for all you need to know about it. The line between opinion and junk facts is permanently blurred.
" The sight of minorities taking care of their own, and pulling themselves up was too much. "
The above is, to borrow Jim's favorite expression, BULLSHIT. This is the most convoluted nonsense I've heard in a while, and that's saying a lot considering who it came from. There is no way you can support that statement.

Don't forget, rhyno describes himself as a "libertarian" when he spews Marxist vomit. That's almost funny.
Everybody, consider the war on poverty, along with sex education, and rehabiliating criminals. In 1960, poverty was half of what it was in 1950, and government dependency declined by one-third from 1950 to 1965. Fertility rates and rates of infectious disease declined through the 1950s. The number of murders in 1960 was lower than 1950, 1940, and 1930, even though the population was much larger; the murder rate in 1960 was half of what it was in 1934.
Nonetheless, the self-anointed leftists preached these were "crises." This led to messianic "solutions" like the War on Poverty, much spending on sex education, and a method of dealing with crime emphasizing rehabilitation, all of which were supposed to alieviate the crises within a decade. What happened? Poverty and dependency soared, rates of teenage pregnancy and venereal disease skyrocketed, and crime ran out of control. The relationship of theory to evidence was not countenanced — the vision was taken as axiomatic and the anointed patted themselves on the back for their good intentions.
The same people who have no patience building a liberal democracy in Iraq want to give their programs that **caused** the social decay in American inner cities they were intended to eradicate another 40-year run. Because liberals "care," of course.
