To talk about police as being honorable community service members and then Chicago in the same sentence is rather entertaining because that city has a very long history of dirty cops, and I think everyone knows it? That's kind of common knowledge.

He has said this before and everyone forgot. Wild that the Dem VP is an avid hunter that believes in 2nd amendment, just wants background checks, while the republican candidate wants to confiscate.
I don't see the inconsistency. This is dripping with dog whistle racism. Whites don't get stopped by cops. Whites are the cops. The 2nd ammendment is for me not for thee
That oughta tweak his magats
What are the prevailing sentiments about Bloombergs NY tenure, these days?
This whole "selectively frisking people" schtick was his invention.
Well, serious crime did fall dramatically while he was mayor. People argue about whether or not stop-and-frisk was responsible and I don't know the answer, but his overall policy on policing was clearly very successful. He was popular enough for the city to change the rules about term limits so that he could be mayor for one more term, and subsequent mayors have not been as popular.
I mean, I imagine crime rates tend to fall when you get Judge Death out here to declare that being alive is a crime, and if they're already committing that crime best to lock them up before they do something more serious....
I'm having a hard time finding data on the number of people incarcerated in New York City as opposed to New York State as a whole, but what I'm seeing is that incarceration rates fell along with crime rates.
People who vote for idiot shocked to find out candidate is idiot

Kyle Rittenhouse should have never backed down. Trump wasn't even really pro gun in his first term.
