Biden Adviser Richmond: Don’t Blame Dem Mayors for Record Crime – GOP Has Blocked Investments to Attack ‘Root Cause’ of Crime

Ian Hanchett 4 Feb 2022

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Biden Senior Adviser Cedric Richmond said that voters in cities that have seen record crime shouldn’t blame President Joe Biden or their Democratic mayors for crime spikes and that there has been “Republican obstruction” of things that would “get at the root cause of crime.”

Host Jake Tapper asked, “So, several major U.S. cities have seen record crime, record homicides in the last year, including my hometown, Philadelphia. Why shouldn’t voters in those cities not only blame President Biden, but blame their Democratic mayors?”

Richmond responded, “Well, they shouldn’t. It’s a bigger problem. It takes investment in communities. So, when you look at, whether it was our American Rescue Plan or whether it was Build Back Better or whether it was the bipartisan infrastructure bill, one, you have to improve communities. You have to invest in families. You have to invest in opportunity and education and all of those things. And those things have been neglected for some time. And if you look at what we’re dealing with here in Washington in terms of just pure Republican obstruction, those things that we want to invest in, whether it’s child care, whether it’s early child education, those things get at the root cause of crime. And so, you’re not going to solve it strictly by police and district attorneys, you have to invest also, and those investments have been lacking. And we’re not going to leave our communities behind, and that’s why we have such a focus on investing in all communities.”

Bullsh*t.  It takes taking criminals off the streets, and making it prohibitively "costly" for them to engage in criminal activity.

It is democrat party mayors who are precisely at fault for record crime levels.

[LMAO]

This issue of crime is really hurting Democrats and their calls for police defunding is toxic for them them because I noticed in the last year they’re trying shift the blame to the GOP

The problem they have is many Democrats are on record advocating not only defunding the police but closing prisons

Americans are not going to buy this

Tapper set the question up to allow this punk to weasel out of the answer.  The immediate problem isn't Biteme or even the Mayors, it's the rogue Prosecutors letting the violent criminals out on the streets.  Judges are also a part of this.

The most important question wasn't asked, which I expect from Tapper.

The leftists cannot be convinced they are wrong about the "root causes" as they go about weakening the consequences.  Double-whammy.

Yeah, it's all about the genetic inferiority of blacks.

GOP Has Blocked Investments to Attack ‘Root Cause’ of Crime

Don't the Dems control both houses of Congress and the White House?  What investments did the GOP block?

I remember back in the sixties reading stories in the news about trying to find the "root causes" of black poverty and crime.
The "experts" were sure to find those root causes and ...uh....root them out.
After sixty years or so they're still looking for those root causes.
Actually, a very large percentage of the violent crime could be stopped overnight.
Doing so might cause pearl clutchers on both sides to scream racism or unconstitutionality. Doing so would mean allowing the police to do their jobs without being worried about being unfairly punished for doing what is necessary.
 And it would mean implementing more measures like stop and frisk in high crime areas as well as curfews and limiting the numbers of people in crowds.
Nevertheless, failing to implement much stricter measures against black males who commit the great bulk of violent crime will just maintain business as usual. Business as usual meaning scores of black dead bodies every day including many innocent black children.

I don't believe blacks are an inferior race or ethnicity. But there is a destructive streak in many black people that prevents them from succeeding. IQ is real, but a lot more of their problems is just a general sh*tty attitude.
I've worked with  black people who've done their jobs well. And some who didn't. My insurance agent is black, and he does a real good job.
But an improvement in their general attitude would help them quite a bit.

Last I checked the concept implied by the word investment is one of a long term commitment, not instant results.

So why then did all this crime just recently explode where it wasn't before, after all these Soros DA's got elected, and now Joe Skeezy?

If it were really an investment issue, it would have been a consistent, continual problem over many years at this level.

Exactly. The criminals' risk/reward equation needs to be rebalanced.
(Make bail harder to meet, and get prosecutors who will prosecute, and judges who will sentence offenders once convicted).
If the risk is high enough, the reward will pale in comparison.
In far too many places, there is no downside to being a criminal.

Why can't it be "all of the above"? Seriously.
From Biden on down the message has been Que Sera Sera.

Consider the President of the United States has shown contempt for our immigration laws, and that policy set by him or his minions and certainly within his purview to stop, has effectively distributed millions of illegal aliens throughout our country at our expense in violation of our laws.

WHy should that contempt for the law stop at the top?
It doesn't. It didn't, and those entrusted with upholding the law are enabling the violation of the laws they are sworn to uphold.

Sheriff Henry Plummer danced on a rope for those sort of actions.

Maybe we need to take other lessons from our history.
