    1. This is only happening in select cities run by Democrats with the strictest gun control in the country who choose to do nothing and are making the police stand down.

    1. Much worse now, the lack of response from the Democratic run states during the uhm “Peaceful Protests”, the Tearing down of Public property with no intervention and the lack of support for the Police departments has AWAKEN the criminals. They know they will get away with it! Thanks a lot for not acting when Mr trump was pleading with you to be tougher, but, that wasn’t part of the evil plan was it?

    2. Thank you, everyone who’s not an idiot knows this. People have been using the black on black excuse to defend police brutality for s long it now just falls flat. A street criminal who kills goes to prison, faces retaliation or spends the rest of their life in fear of being caught. The cops that killed Tamir Rice live comfortably, that’s the issue. Btw white on white violence is a thing so if you want to play that game I don’t want to hear anything about terrorism or immigrant crime until the white community gets its act together. The boogaloo boys a white supremacist group killed two cops to frame BLM and start a race war. Where the outrage from the white community, where are the white leaders condemning this behavior, Trump didn’t but has plenty to say about Antifa who have 0 kills. It must be an issue with the family structure 😼

    3. Young black kids raised without fathers who turn to RAP music for advice on how to live. They just let fly without any thought of what is downrange. How about the NRA living their mission and going into these neighborhoods and teach gun safety?

    4. @Brandon Keys

      If whites were the issue, POC wouldnt cry when we deport them.😁

  1. “Defund the police? Disband the police? Replace them with what?” I’m surprised CNN even gave Charles Ramsey the air time to say this. Don Lemon made a point to cut off, cut out, and talk over Terry Crews because Crews failed to fully endorse BLM’s agenda: an agenda which many Americans, Ramsey obviously included, find extreme and impractical.

    1. @Colin O’Keeffe The issue is that defunding REALLOCATES funds to appropriate places. The current training is inadequate at best and harmful at worst as many feel cops are literally trained to view the public as enemies etc. This is about created a better more effective system so that cops can deal with the issues they really need to be dealing with, such as domestic violence. Idk where you are getting those numbers, but what we want is reallocation to proper places and a more efficient system, not less officers. So many people are misinterpreting what is being proposed.

    2. AlienPrincess ATX Let me ask you this, how do you expect officers to be better trained if you’re cutting half of their training courses? You’re asking them to do more with less; That means less officers, and less training. If the city really wanted to go through with some of their planned expenditures, then they could’ve trimmed some fat off of the wasteful spending they have every year. Cutting the NYPD budget is just asking for trouble, and it seems they’ve already found it.

    3. AlienPrincess ATX I am getting these numbers directly from the NYC government. Feel free to fact check the information if you want, but I guarantee it’ll be 100% accurate.

    4. @Colin O’Keeffe you wouldnt even understand it because you are a braindead trumptard. they need the right training and that is the actual problem. if you reallocates funds, you dont need overtime pay anymore. 90%+ of the equipment is not needed because its the police and not the military. no officer will be fired. you should spend less time watching faux news. you surely dont get any numbers from the government. you will be 100% wrong but claiming that you are right only shows your trumptism

      1. I don’t support Trump.
      2. Keeping more officers on the streets through overtime is an effective tool of peace keeping.
      3. Are you a cop? If not, I don’t think you’re in any position to deem what equipment is essential and what isn’t.
      4. Once again, I refer you directly to the NYC planned 2021 budget and you’ll see exactly how many officers will be fired. You already see parts of the plan being enacted by disbanding the undercover unit in the city.

    1. Fix News What about Democratic-run states of California, North Carolina, Michigan, and Louisiana? Don’t try and label this as an exclusive thing to Republican states.

    2. Fix News Do I have any love for Trump? Far from it. He doesn’t have the god-like power to cause all of these negative things in the country, despite what you might say.

    1. @Hostis Humani Generis yada yada yada know it’s your big fat Republican mouth that gets you into trouble if you just think before you open your mouth you could live in peace instead y’all pick a fight with some and then tell him how many guns you got in the house and you’re surprised when they show up with one personally don’t own any of them I’m an intelligent creatur

    2. Young black kids raised without fathers who turn to RAP music for advice on how to live. They just let fly without any thought of what is downrange. How about the NRA living their mission and going into these neighborhoods and teach gun safety?

  2. Since Covid-19 hit, unemployment and poverty when up and whenever that happens, people do desperate things to survive, especially if they have lost their job and healthcare. Poverty kills! IF the government supported the people, like they did the corporations, you would probably have a completely different situation. Why is crime not going up in Canada? I think it is because the Canadian government has programs to help people get the money they need to survive.. It’s all about the money!

    1. Torontopia I’m sure Covid-19 had a negative affect on crime here in the states, but this trend has been going on long before this virus was ever a thing.

  3. The father that lost his 8yr old said “if blacks don’t care about blacks then why would anyone else” strong words.
    So called parents, be a parent for ONCE.

    1. Young black kids raised without fathers who turn to RAP music for advice on how to live. They just let fly without any thought of what is downrange. How about the NRA living their mission and going into these neighborhoods and teach gun safety?

    2. @Coldshadow You’re right. And people want to blur the lines. It’s easy to because there a constant. The guns. But the people involved in the homicides are very different. Civilians will always kill civilians. But Police are a job. And it can’t be a job to kill people.

    1. Ken Rimmer “non-violent offensives” involves in the drug trade that propels this violence

    2. @Peter Bills non violent offenders don’t get out of jail and run to get guns lol.
      @Alex Parrish you mean the government perpetuated drug trade?

    1. @Democrats jerk off to Drag queen story hour
      Point is to use this traumatic event to try and discredit people fighting for the same justice is disgusting. No one thinks this murder is okay. But to weaponize it as a way of detracting from another’s fight for safety is wrong. Next.

    2. @Kxng Drake don’t bother trying to have a logical, intelligent interaction with this mindless freak. No one who would choose that screen name is stable or healthy.

    3. @Kxng Drake She was killed by a BLM. There is no difference from a pedophile racist communist democrat and a BLM. It’s the same thing. And that was the point. When you donate to BLM, you donate directly to the DNC. No difference.

    4. Facts there have been protest. There has been protest. There just hasn’t been any riots about black on black. No riots no media none of these trolls pay attention. Yet I’m told riots are bad than why are these people saying there isn’t any outrage about black on black murder?

      Also there is a difference between black on black murders and police murders. If a black person gets caught for murdering someone they go to jail if a cop gets caught burning someone they don’t ……difference.

    5. @Democrats jerk off to Drag queen story hour
      You people keep talking about all these death but evidendly this feigned outrage is nothing more than a political thing for conservatives. You dont care about black lives you just see a chance to pin all this on the democrat leadership and thats why we cant do better everything is politics. Even the virus and mask have become political for conservatives you people need help🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

    1. @Leftys N ewe’s the thing about you people is that you invent phrases in order to attempt to condescend to people that you disagree with. You look at people who care about equality and say that they are not really caring about equality there just loudly proclaiming that they do so that people will think that they’re good people. That is insane and just reveals your personal lack of empathy and low character. Sad sad sad.

    2. @Arrowsun these kind of people never engage in any solution based activity. All they do is talk s*** protests what they don’t like and whine about how their rights are being violated when they in fact or not. They want rights and Privileges and entitlements with no responsibilities to others or the greater good.

    3. @Peter Bills you’re another person who doesn’t understand what be funding the police means. It doesn’t mean taking money away from the police force so that there won’t be any more cops to answer 9-1-1 calls. You people really have to stop with all of these false narratives and actually research what the f*** you’re talking about instead of mindlessly spreading false information on the internet. One of the cutest plagues on American society right now is morons who repeat things that they hear without fact-checking them. It’s creating a society of idiots who don’t know what the hell they’re talking about and who are as confident in their wrongness as they are incorrect. It is a mess.

    4. AlienPrincess ATX As a New Yorker myself, I figured I’d focus on the Big Apple here; After all of these riots/protests going on, the new budget will include $837 million in cuts to the NYPD, which removes adds up to $1 billion when combined with other costs. That means 2 out 4 training classes are cut, overtime is cut by $352 million, uniform and equipment is affected, and 1,163 officers will be fired through attrition.
      According to the city council, they plan to reallocate $354 million towards agencies “best positioned to carry out the duties that have been previously assigned to the New York Police Department, like the Department of Education, the Department of Health & Mental Hygiene and the Department of Homeless Services.” Whether you chose to believe it or not, this the reality in a lot of cities across the country. Not only are you putting good officers on the unemployment line, you are putting these unarmed employees at risk. Domestic violence, for example, can get really ugly if the aggressor has a gun. This is a highly reckless and idiotic endeavor in a city already struggle with a rise in violence.

    1. Agree they are trying to flip the focus of police violence back to black on black violence when that’s not the issue ,it’s the police killing blacks is the bigger issue.

    2. Elihu Bildad really. That’s the issue. All nine unarmed black men killed by police last year. Would like like to take a guess at how many black people were shot by other black people last weekend alone. Upwards of twelve. So you look at that. And you tell me what the issue is

    1. @Bill Wilson yup, that is Trump’s plan to rip you the constitution and strip our rights!! That is why we need to preserve our rights and constitution by voting out Trump!!

    2. Peter Bills so now it’s “Democrat cities and Republican cities” huh. You people are a poison that is being exposed and judged rightfully. This is the UNITED STATES of AMERICA and you can’t stand that can you. Never lifting a finger to help those so called “Democrat cities” yet claim to be a patriot and American. I bet you are a confederate rebel flag waving embarrassment just like the Racist traitors who came before you.

    3. Young black kids raised without fathers who turn to RAP music for advice on how to live. They just let fly without any thought of what is downrange. How about the NRA living their mission and going into these neighborhoods and teach gun safety?

    4. @The Blade NRA is racist. They lobbied for gun control in California. You know why? Because black Panthers were protecting themselves from police corruption. You should research why they had to protect themselves and what the black Panthers did with the comminity. Get this information from a non biased source too.

    1. @Noneshere who exactly is it that you think is telling you that you don’t have a right to own a gun in your own home? That’s a false narrative. We have a right to bear arms in this country. It might not be the kind of gun that you want and if you break the law and that goes on your record then you might not be able to buy a gun but that’s your own fault. That’s the consequence of your own poor decisions. Nobody in this country is denying you your right to protect yourself. That is so far from the actual issue here.

    2. @AlienPrincess ATX

      Just like if you act like a thug and get killed by police, “thats your own fault”.🤷‍♂️

  4. I guess the gUn ViOleNcE is occuring near CNN HQ now and that’s why they’re scared lmao.

    1. So where’s the outrage of Black Lives Matter. Innocent black lives were taken. They condemn the death of a black guy with criminal history and eerily quiet when innocent black lives are involved. Pathetic.

    1. @AlienPrincess ATX

      By “developed country”, you mean countries *whiter* than the US.

    2. Libtards are hilarious. They want to defund police, AND take my guns. Sorry idiots, can’t have it both ways.

    1. Black Lives Matter dont care abt black lives if it is not in their narrative. They only care abt black lives taken by whites.

    1. Young black kids raised without fathers who turn to RAP music for advice on how to live. They just let fly without any thought of what is downrange. How about the NRA living their mission and going into these neighborhoods and teach gun safety?

  5. Did he say all lives matter?
    We must cancel him 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
