GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — President Joe Biden recently announced a plan to reduce gun violence and other crimes nationwide, but leaders in the black community think it could do more harm than good.
“This is an ongoing problem that is occurring not only in Grand Rapids, but in cities all across the country [N.S.: Irrelevant.],” said Carlton T. Mayers II, the policing reform advisor for the Grand Rapids NAACP. “It encourages over-policing of black and brown communities, which ultimately results in the unnecessary harms and deaths of black and brown people.”
[N.S.: Considering that blacks have been taking advantage of de-policing not only in Grand Rapids, but in cities all across the country, Mayers is clearly opposed to any policing of black “communities.”]
Biden’s plan is suggesting cities use some of their COVID-19 relief funding to get the job done.
Mayers says the community should be involved in the decision before money is allocated.
[N.S.: English translation: black supremacist grifters should be permitted to steal all the money.]
“We are very much so not in support of just arbitrarily giving money to law enforcement and not to community resources to deal with gun violence and violent crimes. They can use the money not only to hire more police officers, but also to use and purchase technology and other equipment. We’re very concerned about that,” said Mayers.
[GRA: I’ll bet they are.]
Last year, leaders with the city of Grand Rapids debated using ShotSpotter technology in high crime neighborhoods. This would use microphones to detect gunshots in certain areas. The plan hasn’t been approved, but Gayle Harvey, the NAACP’s executive officer of external relations, worries this would target black and brown communities before crimes even take place.
“How is that going to help, how is it going to continue to protect black and brown people in those communities that it services because to the high end, those are the communities that it will be in,” said Harvey.
[GRA: The blacks want no deterrent to their chaos.)
These two say getting the community together would be a better plan to brainstorm solutions moving forward.
[N.S.: The foregoing sentence was a complete waste of 17 words. “Getting the community together”: Letting thieves confer. “Brainstorm solutions”: Discuss sharing the loot. The “solutions” have been known for generations, and in some aspects, millennia. In no particular order: 1. Seize illegal guns off the street, through stop and frisk; 2. Permit law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms; and 3. Raise your children to obey the law, and respect other persons’ rights.]
“That is going to at least put in place a way that community members would have a say on how this technology is used, so that way it’s not used in a discriminatory fashion,” said Mayers.
[GRA: Chuckle.)
Harvey says the NAACP has already been in touch with city officials and the police department in hopes of moving forward in a positive direction for everyone.
[N.S.: More garbage words.]

Shotspotter does work. Some sorta way Shotspotter will be deemed racist. Too many shots as located in negro areas. A disparity. We cannot have that. Let them just kill one another maybe is best?
BLACK JUSTICE--COSBY TO BE RELEASED FROM PRISON AS JUDGE VACATES CONVICTION
GRA:To quote Bob Hope,"How about that?Isn't that sumpthin'?"
The conviction was supposedly overturned,as Cosby's lawyers appealed the inclusion of testimony from a previous case.Cosby served only 2 years of a 15 year sentence.
(ATP)The attorneys also argued it was “fundamentally unfair” that deposition testimony Cosby gave in a civil case regarding his use of sedative drugs and his sexual behaviors in the 1970s was heard in court.
They argue that Cosby believed the testimony was immune from prosecution when he gave it.
GRA:Time for some Jello Pudding and maybe he can host a new reality show--a sequel to his "Kids Say the Darndest Things"--called,"College Girls Say the Darndest Things".
