Obviously...

Every innocent brown person they deatin, increases the percentage that are violent criminals and out of the streets.

They don't want to solve crime, they want to convince people crime is bad so that they support the total removal of everyone brown.

It's about making the US accustomed to state violence on the streets. Because that allows going further. They do not give a shit about crime or ethnics. Only power and expanding it through suppression. Doing this to "illegals" first is just a way to not make enough people resist.

Just like actual Chicago crime figures are entirely irrelevant. Facts are not driving this nor are relevant to a huge portion of the population. The question is about being able to deploy the army where Trump wants and who can resist that. To figure out how strong his regime is. So far, the limit is far from reached.

I was in Compton a couple years ago, and it was great. Didn't go into Watts or any of the PJs though.

I used to make it a point in my younger days to walk around "rough" areas, Compton felt like a suburb compared to something like Chicago or NYC.

Most of those "high crime areas" are because of drug dealing and gangs trying to control turf and the violence that comes with that When that stuff is going on, fucking with a random just isn't worth the police attention it might bring.

In my experience the most dangerous areas are almost always 10-15 minutes away from a "rough" area. It's far enough away from the action that random crime won't negatively effect the drug trade. But close enough drug users are looking for stuff to steal to feed their addiction.

When I was skateboarding in highschool, we used to go into the city and intentionally pick skate spots within eyeshot of a manned corner. It meant cops weren't likely to come thru the area, and no locals would start anything like a mugging/jacking because that might bring cops into the area and get the dealers pissed at them for interrupting business.

On the other hand, if we ever saw cops we were out of any area immediately. Even if we weren't doing anything wrong, there's just no telling when a cop would decide to fuck with someone, even planting drugs or making up random bullshit
