* What\u2019s so magical about 12 month periods of time? Cultural shifts may take time to sink in and spread out. They act like a \u2018Ferguson Effect\u2019 is as a light switch that gets snapped on or off. That black homicide has reached a high pitch of frenzy seems indisputable (Chicago has 72 homicides so far this year, total of 338 shot, just as of the 7th of Feb, almost all black). Ferguson was just a symptom and not a cause of what\u2019s been changing. What it is is the legitimation of a criminal lifestyle as just another way for a black person to support themselves. Trafficking in drugs, shoplifting, burglary, robbery, car theft, occasional carjacking and other forms of low-mentality criminality are accepted by most blacks as being a justifiable lifestyle which is now considered legitimate; the \u2018man\u2019 won\u2019t give him anything so a guy has to take it. Their rap music celebrates this; it\u2019s being announced through their music loud and clear if anyone would bother to notice. The violence is a by-product of the thug lifestyle whereby their \u2018honor\u2019 has to be protected and they can\u2019t afford to \u2018lose face\u2019; unfortunate but the price of doing business. What they\u2019re doing is to try to create a safe space around these forms of criminality, to make them mere ticket offenses in recognition of it being a legitimate lifestyle on a par with others. In this view people like the thug Brown haven\u2019t really done anything wrong or if he did it\u2019s minor and should be given a pass. Standards are being pressed to change and accommodate the new reality of large numbers of blacks living in this gray area.<\/p>\n

* This data is congruent with Goldstone\u2019s well received state-centric model of revolution\/breakdown, which focuses on the interaction of fiscal duress, intra-elite division, and potential for mass mobilization. The establishment of any city that\u2019s around 1\/4 or more black will have include black patrons in uneasy tension with the police and business elite, and of course persistent fiscal problems. There\u2019s a perennial possibility of \u201ccreating space for violence\u201d, especially when there\u2019s a similar configuration at the national level.<\/p>\n

* It\u2019s the Sixties all over again regarding law enforcement and criminal justice. The babyboomers either don\u2019t remember their own and their parents\u2019 mistakes, they are happy with the results of hundreds of thousands more dead, or they are embarrassed by their mistakes and thus will say nothing. It\u2019s not as if this hasn\u2019t happened before.<\/p>\n

Miranda was a serial rapist. Terry v. Ohio was determined because experienced police officers actually can spot a criminal by his body language and actions, locking up criminals is the only thing that keeps them from committing crimes.<\/p>\n

If you clamp down on the police you free the criminals. If you support the criminals you embolden the criminals. If you make them victims they will responsibility for nothing and create more criminals. Half of them already believe in \u201cThe Plan\u201d and \u201cThe Uprising\u201d. The question is not why they are acting like they\u2019re \u201chalf devil and half child\u201d it\u2019s why more of them are not joining them in their collective wilding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
