On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Black Lives Matter chairman Hawk Newsome called for defunding the police so that crime can be treated like a health crisis.
Newsome said, “I’m talking about is America treating crime as something that needs to be handled with policing instead of defunding the police and looking at crime from the perspective that it’s a health crisis. The same way we looked at heroin addiction when it was only black people as tough on drugs, war on crime, and when it became white people, we looked at it as a public health crisis, something that needs to be treated. That’s the way we need to look at crime, OK.”
He added, “You think about police. Over 80% of the calls are not violent felonies. Therefore, we should really look into why police are being called. Look at the causes of why people are committing crimes, they are desperate, they’re poor, they’re undereducated, and they are left out to dry but this American system of government. So if you want to decrease crime, you don’t hire police to come in and arrest everybody and brutalize people. If you want to cure crime, you must go to the source. You must invest in people.
Treat Hawk Newsom like he has lost his Marbles a padded cell and a straight jacket
Let’s take this to its logical conclusion.
Build and open lots and lots of mental hospitals.
Fill them very quickly, if desperate, poor, undereducated people are getting put in.
Crimes have fines and or jail/prison time set by the judge within guidelines after an individual is convicted.
BUT mental health issues are, by definition, indeterminate in nature.
So, petty criminals, under Newsome, go behind bars up to for life for minor non-violent crimes!
Brilliant!
Not.
The actual cure for minorities being arrested, hurt or killed by police is reducing crime, which is dependent upon reducing poverty. A growing and broad economy is the solution to reducing poverty. Of course, no one on the left suggests these solutions because this would remove their boot from the neck of minorities and end their dependency on the government for sustenance and none of the Marxists want to admit capitalism is what is best for all citizens. They have a different agenda.
Whose “health crisis” is this criminal incident?

So, after the three men recover…..if all of them lived…..do the perps get jail time or talk therapy?
Perps like them shouldn’t ever be allowed to walk our streets again.
But they are not alone.
“Polar bear hunting,” and “the knockout game” are growing in popularity.
