The cops cotribute by not busting the gangs purposely.
The cops contribute by having the unions push for mandatory minimums in the 90's.
The cops contribute by laundering money and stolen goods for gangs making them more powerful.
They are for hire to assassinate other gang leaders..
They are part of the problem.
And if you don't understand that a corrupt police force doest intend to stop crime but rather further it I don't know what else to say.

You guys need to make your minds up. All we ever hear is that the cops are harassing black men, etc. Yet, here you are claiming the cops don't arrest anyone. Which one is it?
Most of the increases in violence in Chicago and Baltimore are tied directly to the fact that police stopped policing these areas since every time they try to arrest a thug, you get a gang of hoodrats out with cellphones looking for their 15 minutes of fame.
If what you are claiming were true, we should see crime going down in these cities, not up if there were some correlation between corrupt policing and crime.
Look, I am not dismissing that police relationships in these cities is crap because of a meathead cops. I can't stand these incredible hulk bald head narco guys I see everyday in the hood. At the same time, I recognize they are also going into the wolves den, so in some respect I get it.
I stand my case that these areas are just a symptom of the failure of the social and moral fabric of the black community. Sure, at the periphery, I can understand what you are saying, but that is hardly what I would consider to be the root cause or even a major factor.

The really sad part is I don't think it's as much incompetence as it is on purpose. They seem to find any way they can to dumb down entire populations.
