      America in a nutshell. Native Americans, slaves, free black people, Asian migrants, poor people, laborers in mines and factories ( triangle fire), Mexican migrants, soldiers (basically poor people)…

      Everyone but the wealthy white men. Several orders of magnitude more police resources are being used to solve this 1 gun violence death, than the other hundreds of murders in NYC this year.

        I hear cops don’t get paid very well. Perhaps we should do our civic duty and ensure they have some overtime pay. After all, Christmas is right around the corner.
