Atlanta 'defund the police' backer has car stolen -- by kids in broad daylight:

Why are you here?
Not really.
You know why.
CHICAGO (CBS) — An 11-year-old boy is charged in a beating and carjacking on Chicago’s North Side over the weekend.
Any guess to the POSs race?
Yeah, sure it is. Government provides everything. The parents do nothing.
It's the upbringing. Lots of professionals came from public housing.
He probably put the Benz on a government credit card.
You think they live with both parents?
He was an Amish boy.
Besides, a 11-year-old boy is way more capable than a 7-year-old boy.
The councilman said it was a group of kids between 6 and 12.
No. I doubt they could. It'd be too crowded.
Apprentices...
Pretty soon we'll be having 3 to 6 year-old kids do the carjacking and rioting. All you ever do is prove that your opioid addiction is making you delusional
Sounds like these children are good candidates for the social programs Democrats support.
“That work, advocates say, could be better done by outreach workers, social workers and community workers trained to de-escalate street feuds. That could be paid for by diverting money from police budgets to municipal programs that deal with underlying causes of crime, including poverty, inadequate housing and poor education.
When we talk about defunding the police, what we're saying is invest in the resources that our communities need,” Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.” “So much of policing right now is generated and directed towards quality-of-life issues, homelessness, drug addiction, domestic violence. … But what we do need is increased funding for housing, we need increased funding for education, we need increased funding for quality of life of communities who are over-policed and over-surveilled.”

Police do not prevent crime.
Police arrest suspects after they have already committed a crime.
The only way to reduce crime is to improve the economy. That means raising wages.
It's no coincidence that the crime rate always plummets when the economy does really well, and it's no coincidence that the crime rate rises when the economy does poorly, as it has the last 15 months because of Conservative lies about COVID.

BULLSHIT
Short answer: America’s worst economic period did not produce a rise in crime.
Taken as a whole, those results suggest a kind of data gibberish: When the economy was bad, in the 1930s, crime fell; when it was good, in the 1950s, crime held steady. It increased during the economically healthy 1960s and increased again during the up-and-down 1970s. It fell during the expansion of the 1990s and the contraction of the 2010s. Statistically speaking, what that strongly suggests is that crime is not affected by the economy. There may be those who are forced to steal to avoid starvation, but they are to be pitied and helped and are a far cry from what really causes fear and victimization in our lives.
What does that mean for efforts to thwart crime? It suggests that they should not be directed toward the economy, and argues that police cannot resort to a popular excuse of previous eras – that crime will rise, whatever police do, during hard times.

Apparently these young men didn't get the notice that they could earn $15/ hr now flipping burgers at McDonald's. Maybe now that they have had this close encounter with a criminal life they will feel compelled to seek out legitimate employment and become productive members of society.
Child labor is illegal, dumbass.
Who told you that?
