In honor of the memory of George Floyd, those peddling social justice reform are advocating nonviolent criminal acts such as shoplifting from big box stores should no longer be a criminal offense. [Retailers urged to re-think police calls for low-level crimes after George Floyd’s death, Minneapolis Star-Tribune, April 12, 2021]:..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
George Floyd died in police custody after a corner store clerk reported he had used a fake $20 bill, a nonviolent offense so low-level that police don’t usually take people to jail for it.
Now, as the trial over his death continues to unfold, criminal justice reform experts and diversity specialists are hoping the case will prompt retailers — from small businesses to major chains — to reassess how they treat Black and other minority customers and how they can handle loss prevention cases more equitably.
Retailers, they point out, are on the front lines of racial justice in their own stores...................................

Riots, arson, anarchism, assaults, lawlessness rewarded, neither lives nor property safe.....under Democrat governance.
One wonders why citizens pay taxes, and what they expect from government, when the above is the norm from Democrats officials.
Raleigh Police Chief Cassandra Deck-Brown has a particularly "odd" view of policing.
She isn't inclined to do it.
At 14:30 “I will not put an officer in harms way to protect the property….”
Chesa Boudin, the new DA elected by San Francisco:
“SAN FRANCISCO'S NEW DA WILL NOT PROSECUTE PROSTITUTION, PUBLIC URINATION CASES: 'WE MUST THINK DIFFERENTLY'
Responding to the ACLU questionnaire published in the San Francisco Chronicle before the election, Boudin said: "We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes. Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted."
San Francisco's new DA will not prosecute prostitution, public urination cases: "We must think differently"
This is what Democrats believe is the sort of city you should live in.
....one more slap in the face of the law-abiding citizens who pay taxes on actual earnings:
"Should All Thefts Be Prosecuted? Dallas County’s District Attorney Says No
An initiative by John Creuzot is stopping prosecutions for theft of personal items worth less than $750."
Should All Thefts Be Prosecuted? Dallas County’s District Attorney Says No | Houston Public Media
Same in Seattle.....Democrat constituent are given a quota amount they can steal from you.
Under Democrats, law and order has become the law of the jungle.
We had 4 years of lawlessness to the point of an insurrection by repubublicans. STFU.
Couldn't address Political Chick's post, could you? Just dance around it.
I'm not dancing around anything, I am not going to answer irrelevant bullshit.
Cost Of Racism: U.S. Economy Lost $16 Trillion Because Of Discrimination, Bank Says
Nationwide protests have cast a spotlight on racism and inequality in the United States. Now a major bank has put a price tag on how much the economy has lost as a result of discrimination against African Americans: $16 trillion.
Since 2000, U.S. gross domestic product lost that much as a result of discriminatory practices in a range of areas, including in education and access to business loans, according to a new study by Citigroup.
Specifically, the study came up with $16 trillion in lost GDP by noting four key racial gaps between African Americans and whites:
- $13 trillion lost in potential business revenue because of discriminatory lending to African American entrepreneurs, with an estimated 6.1 million jobs not generated as a result
- $2.7 trillion in income lost because of disparities in wages suffered by African Americans
- $218 billion lost over the past two decades because of discrimination in providing housing credit
- And $90 billion to $113 billion in lifetime income lost from discrimination in accessing higher education

Citigroup estimates the economy would see a $5 trillion boost over the next five years if the U.S. were to tackle key areas of discrimination against African Americans.www.npr.org
