Does it exist and is it purely the fault of the people themselves. I'm certainly not willing to say I would have been able to have the stable life I have if my environment growing up was different. I'm far from wealthy but I have benefited from stable upbringing.

If a white neighbourhood had a violence rate like South Chicago etc, you can be certain that the place would be flooded with police and federal authorities, National Guard etc. Imagine the reaction if that was done in a black community, rich white progressives would go out of their mind with anger. Instead, about 5k black Chicagoans will be injured by shots this year, out of 700k people and close on a thousand will die.

i told you so to all the gullible people that think defunding the police will lead to anything good

Even police in many cases themselves agree with this.
Cordell wrote: » I agree, I wasn't proposing a solution, just highlighting the only way that defunding the police makes sense. Sure, but that's not what they want. They want punishment, not a more effective police force. Hell no, here the police are more peace keepers than law enforcement at any cost. Agree except no weapon reported, no such thing over there, but again, this is not what they want.

No, but there are plenty arguing against law enforcement. And if they're listened to, that will be the result, more crime.
