Inside Chicago's Gun Violence Crisis | Reggie Yates: Life And Death In Chicago |

[@steveleonard4012]

It's not gun violence, it's CRIME.

[@smplyizzy]

How do guns get violent? Does not seem possible.

[@DCOM20.]

Obama democrats gotta blame everyone else. Like babies do and dum people

[@atWay.]

It's not gun violence; it's guidance and poverty that's at the root.

[@thecrow4597]

These people are richer than the average American 100 years ago. It’s not a material cause. Obviously not.

[@xxfranknittyxx2270]

exactly look at the white neighborhoods where the cops live have alot of resources

[@Davidsavage8008]

Illegal drugs and alcohol are killing them.🎉

[@davidgraves3959]

Whole thing was based mostly on emotion, very little on facts or debatable statistics.

[@AquarianNomadic]

Not a gun violence issue but a violent race issue. But we're not allowed to stereotype monsters.

[@rahimi4762]

You made the monster. Policies, unfairness, slavery, democrat party etc.

@@rahimi4762 Don't blame others.

Lol. They've just widened the net. Slavery has evolved. ​@@minerran

[@ilarinikkarikoski4765]

You sort of sense that both sides (pro-police bystander & anti-police bystander) just lack the will to end this, and improve on themselves. They keep repeating the blame on the other side. Until that changes, the environment won't. And all are to blame.

[@cherylg46]

How many cops have been killed by the very same groups? 1 human life of any form is 1 too many!

[@xxfranknittyxx2270]

that lady being interviewed was full of it

[@Koala-Express]

And the majority of perps - young black men. Not the police

[@xxfranknittyxx2270]

the majority of cops are crooked and are the real purps ''the blue wall of silence''

[@PoppaDame]

Police brutality is disgusting, just as disgusting as grown men killing each other and some children as well due to gang violence. And although I hate what happened to George Floyd we should NOT be a martyr because to be honest he was a scumbag (not saying he deserved to die that way) at some point people on both sides of this need to evaluate themselves before attacking other people

[@xxfranknittyxx2270]

your ignorant

[@PoppaDame]

@ how bruh?

[@Robert_kuchar]

Not allowed to ask about police brutality but allow a story of a cop being killed

[@Deddrong1]

Right, and then trying to justify why cops kill by saying well the streets would kill them anyway..Sooooo what the hell does that mean??🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

I think both sides are hugely biased, which is to be expected, of course. It definitely makes this difficult to sift through, though. That white daughter's rhetoric is highly suspect. Her use of "gangbangers" and then outlining races without prompting, then claiming "it's not the police." I don't buy it. I sympathize that she lost her father. She admitted it was accidental. It is definitely an issue with guns and violence as a whole. She treats it as if they were purposed gunning for her father, though. In an additional note, this is precisely why police need to take accountability and stop covering for those of them that do bad things. When that happens, NONE of them are to be trusted. I don't think police anywhere in the US understand this as they should. I'm white. I live in an area that's 94% Hispanic. I've been harassed by police, followed home by border patrol, etc. This was more due to classism because I was driving a beat-up old car. Police everywhere, of all races, have some malfunction. I've had cops repeatedly run my plates without cause, ticket me for issues I didn't do, falsify ticket information. I live in an intensely corrupt part of the US. I can't imagine how it is in somewhere like Chicago. I would say that the host is correct in that everyone is stuck in their victimhood and aren't trying to figure out how everyone can do better. However, this is the issue overall: it's difficult to create change when the opposing side continues to attack you. Diplomacy happens in a two-way accord. The black community IS doing the morally correct thing in protesting, going to meetings, etc. They are doing what they can. Cops need their power taken away, more accountability, and to do away with the Blue Code BS. It's not just Chicago that is hugely distrustful of the police. Something needs to change. We're reaching a point where many, many people are going to die; more than what's happening now. The US has poor mental health care, poor wellness programs for employment and low income, and poor long-term support for anything. Once you're impoverished, it's extremely difficult to dig yourself out without help. The US NEEDS to change. Millions of people are suffering. When we can't trust the group that is meant to enforce laws, but can't follow them themselves? We're gone.

[@xxfranknittyxx2270]

the police are sworn to protect people not kill!
