Last week I wrote a piece on the disparities that do
exist, and when I look at what is happening in Chicago, I see the gap growing
ever larger.
“Fear of a long hot summer as Chicago racks up a
deadly record” http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/31/us/chicago-shootings-homicides-summer/
Ask yourself and be truthful: would this be happening
in affluent neighborhoods? The answer is no.
Policing is not equal because the most vulnerable
populations are often treated like criminals. When law enforcement agencies
need to make their stats, they hunt in those neighborhoods:
Serial killers are often not caught for years if
they hunt in poor under-served populations, the victims are often not considered
victims, especially if they are for example prostitutes.
My point is this, more American are being killed in
one of our major cities than American in our current war zones; this should be a state of emergency!
The
disparities continue, justice is for the wealthy it seems…
