It does not matter that you're not white, you are complaining about black people in this thread alluding to the idea that murder of black people in Chicago is by other black people... but the first thing on your list is the murder of a white male.

Neither does sitting around complaining people who are actually working to try and improve things.
I would also add that when you equate gangs to police departments, you are really holding police officers in low esteem, they are supposed to be held to a higher standard, that's why we pay them and give them power to protect and serve the community. There is also the very problematic argument that black people are responsible for black crime while the police are responsible for white crime because that's essentially what is argued; black people do not deserve to have the police serve their communities until there is no crime in their communities. You would never hear someone suggest that for terrorism in the white community and given the recent mass shooting and car attack in Charlottesville, would it be off base to insist that white people "clean up their community"? If that suggestion bothered you, welcome to being treated like a marginalized group where everyone who shares your skin color or religion is blamed for the actions of an individual.

Show me that you have knowledge of the groups that have that as a mandate. Show me the groups and their websites and their actions.
When all else fails, pretend as if people have not produced evidence and ignore the fact that the initial false premise has already had a freight train run through the holes of its logic. Then follow that up with claims of victory.
Listen now because I feel my points have been ignored so I guess, I just have to directly and clearly acknowledge what you say so maybe we could move on to a new, slightly more nuanced point.
