The Wire: Fix The Crime Statistics...or...

@ZekonjaPekonja Jok, skinuo sam titlove sa Interneta

I’ve been telling this story since 1996, in an article on the NYPD called “Crime Stories” for Chronicles magazine. I have to find the ms., and post it online. However, a good deal of my stuff is online. Google under, “‘Disappearing’ Urban Crime” (New York, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Atlanta) "Solving Philly Crime with an Eraser: The 'Good Irishman' and the Race Man Nicholas Stix

(Cont'd.) “De-Policing in America’s Cities: Erasing the ‘Thin Blue Line’” (Seattle, Cincinnati, LA, Philly, Miami, DC, New York) “Re-Victimization and ‘Disappearing’ Scandals: Dallas PD Revolutionizes Crime-Fighting Through Wholesale Stashing, ‘Unfounding,’ & Ignoring Complaints” Nicholas Stix

when do we start a cull?

why not double the police force and put more police in trouble areas? The lack of policing and poverty is how this problem started the first place. But they won't do that for the same reason they won't build many more prisons it makes it look like crime is increasing. So prisons get crowded unmanaged well ; eading to criminals becoming more sociopathic and violent just so you can keep the image that crime is going down.

Also, budget. Police, schools, hospitals etc. all need money, and each place is more run down than the next. They don't have the money to hire more men, and even if they did, quantity does not equal quality. What they need to do is improve the efficiency of the men they do have, and actually do some good police work. But we all know that's never gonna happen.

The budget is also the sad truth, when Mayor Carcetti got to office all he was doing was juggling the budget trying to decide which sector has to go without money this year. I still feel that less crowded and safer prisons especially for newcomers will stop kids coming in as petty criminals leaving as psychopaths. You are forced to join a gang and commit murders in prison just to survive.

first of all there are more prisons than you realized. second all prisons are not ran by the government in fact more are prisons are privatized. the CCA has is a private firm that builds prisons all over the U.S. but you wont hear about it becaue the correctional system is basically slavery. Its far worst than you realize but becasue we think that the inmates are living off of the tax payers dime nothing happens. They all get paid except the inmates. and we profit off of their labor.

lastly you do realize that your asking for a police state instead of a policed state. theres a difference. you want the police to be professionals, be accountable and be reliable instead of harrassing profiled people and passing that off as police work. the true problem is greed, selishness, and a lack of accountibility but the answer is more difficult. were all complicit in this bullshit, fucked up society, and the worst thing of all is that all the pieces matter. everyone, everyact matters.

In some states the prisons are so over crowded that prisoners are sleeping in bunk beds. They should fix up the prison system so that prisoners don't have to join a gang for protection. I am aware that prison is just a way to make money from crime through prison labor. And on the other hand people hypocritically complain that prisoners are wasting tax dollars. It is sad that the more freedom a country has the more uncontrollable crime becomes.

Also, it is unrealistic to expect a small police force to take care of such a big crime problem. I don't want a police state, but more better managed and larger police forces with more resources.

your still missing the point, it doesnt matter how many inmates are in a correctional facility. in fact this is an really easy problem to fix. You can either: a build more prisons, b add on the exsisting facilities, c reduce sentences, b change codified law and make them more relivent, e. shift priorities from criminal punishment to crime prevention. and so on. also you really dont know what your talking about in the rest the post. prisoners are not on the tax payers dime. then earn there keep.

If you reread my post, you'll see that I know that prisoners produce money and are not a burden. People go into prison and come out worse. They are forced to become killers, and once they do that they are lost. Prisons are psychopath factories. Add to that they are stigmatized and cannot find work when they come out making criminality an occupation and a way of life. Heavy sentences for minorities has not helped at all but just create a large community of institutionalized excons.

first of all how do people end up in prison in the first place? Are you discrediting there up branging? environment? education? social-economic standing? could it be there environment is conducive to producing a" psychopath" before they are apart of the system? you are totally missing the forest for the trees. and if prison is a "psychopath factory" how are inmates ever reformed? i bet you dont even believe that reform is possible. I bet you think people can change there life or circumstances.

Valchek sitting all cool nshit lol no worries

That face. Priceless

My favorite Colvin line was when after Hamsterdam had came out and Colvin was getting busted down at the Comstat meeting and Rawls was trying to dig in and humiliate him and Colvin was like "get on with motherfucker" Colvin was my favorite character

Chicago?

It's funny how much the Barksdale Org's meeting mirrors the BPD.  Right up to and including Burrell playing Stringer and Bunny playing Poot.

Can you please make this video able to be embedded? Thanks!

New Orleans Police Department morning breifing.

Valchek seemed impressed by Colvin talking back to Rawls.


"How do you make a body disappear?" you could hear a pin drop initially then someone laughs nervously.

look at burrell caping for his massah.

So technically, Rawls gave Colvin carte blanche to enact his Hamsterdam : "I don't care how you do it". Well, it turns out they DO CARE.

This is so fucked. If a place has 300+ murders, it has 300+ murders. That the "inconvenience" of this is given priority is disgusting.

Bunny better asks Marlo how to make bodies disappear ;)

Rawls is an awesome character.

This feels like it has a reference to something in Rawl’s past?

"heres a fun fact for you people" - you people? what you mean 'you people'?

Everyday at work...

Dam if u do dam if u dont sounds like my job.Yr gettiing fucked know matter if yr doing well or not....

"I don't care how you do it, just do it" This line of logic automatically makes the speaker morally wrong, and any action to meet those standards is justified completely.

Rawls and Burrel, hacks one and all.

like working at the job corps

Rawls giving manson lamps to Colvin lol

Colvin, Cutty, and of course Frank Sobotka are the true protagonists of the series. Brave selfless men who put themselves in harm's way for others.

I just checked it, and there were 348 murders in Baltimore (pop 600,000+). with 447 in New York City (8.4million) in 2019. Sheeeeeeeit

"We will hold this year's murders to 275 or less"
2020: 335 victims · 2019: 348 victims · 2018: 309 victims · 2017: 342 victims · 2016: 318 victims.

They themselves don't know how to do it so they do the typical upper management thing. They tell you to do it!

The moral of this clip is...Don't ask me to get rid of the devil but get upset when I have to go to hell to get him.

Rawls stare could break a mirror

The fury on Rawls face was glorious 😂😂

the best part is when Valchek of all people asks Colvin “what got into you?”

A room full of cops, and only one with brain and morality.
Sad.

This is the FBI in 2024

and the anger and dismissal is because colvin is right. They can't finesse a shooting and dead body. Burrell is just going to fire them and replace them to buy time hoping he can serve the term and walk away with his pension at the highest level

What’s wild is that “adjusting the stats” explains everything in government. How else can we be struggling more than ever but GDP looks better than ever? Juking the stats

It's so funny how rawl talks down to people all of the time but when someone does it to him he acts like a little pissed off girl.
