Just saw this story. THIS is the true solution. These men have taken control of their lives, identified what they needed to do to be successful, and they are trying to bring change to their community. Change from within is the true solution. Government trying to babysit and fix everything won't ever be nearly as effective.

Racial Bias in Policing
by Coded Logic inthe us justice department just released findings from their investigation of the baltimore police department.
as 40% of the force is comprised of black officers some thought they'd be "immune" to racial bias.
it turns out black cops can be just as racist - if not more racist - against black people than white cops.

The template provides a blueprint for arresting an individual standing on or near a public housing development who cannot give a “valid reason” for being there—a facially unconstitutional detention.
Public housing developments are still private property for those who live there and work there. If the area has a drug and crime epidemic, and it's common for somebody to 'stand around' to deal business, or case for theft opportunities, then if they don't live there, and can't give a reason for being there, (visiting family/friends) then probably up to no good. Do random people just hang out in your backyard? Now if it's a public park or area for the public to just hang out, then that would be a different story.

When I was still active, my mother was dfed for a time being. I didn't live w/ her and she was lonely and we met up every week to see a movie or something. She said she isn't supposed to really be around me and I told her in jw friendly words to f$$# that rule and the gb's teaching on that, I didn't agree with it and wouldn't follow it. I wish I got out by then but was still under the "Jehovah will fix it later" opinion.

I think one solution though will be to legalize drugs for 18+ as is with smoking. If dangerous things such as smoking, alcohol, and chemical ridden food are legal then by making the other things legal, let a person ruin their own body if they want. If this is done then thugs/gangs/etc won't have drug money, won't have drug 'territory' to defend, no drug deals gone bad, etc.

Community policing? - If they won't tell cops any information when a person or even child is murdered, how will you get that going? Not going to happen unless the good people within that community decide to fight back against the thugs and criminals among them.

Warning: Watchtower computer dept. registers accounts on Ex-JW sites, coerces people to divulge their personal details
by WTS Archive inwe had a bad experience with watchtower trying to infiltrate our forums.
let this story be a warning for all you guys here.
if you value your privacy do not ever send your real contact details to anyone, even if you trust them (because their accounts could be hacked or accessed by their relatives - and yes, this happened to people i know several times already).

O btw if you did get a call, deny knowing what they are talking about, and ask why the accuser was on an apostate website and communicating with apostates :)

by Kenneson insomeone asked columnist phillip milano of the jacksonville, florida times union this very question.

Example 'new style' Kingdom Hall with windows
The only reason they have windows is because they are designed to eventually be resold as a fast food joint or small commerical property. They figure they'll make a lot of money by not building anything that a sincere God believer would for his house of worship, but instead as an investment where people build free commerical properties for them to sell when they appreciate in value.

I would also point out that no Muslim refugee coming to the US has ever been involved in a domestic terrorist attack.
That's only because the Feds thankfully caught them before they could carry out such attacks. Here is a very recent one. So use arrests instead of attacks. Or do you want to wait until a big attack to admit there is a problem and risk?
http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/07/us/terror-charges-refugees/
"The arrests in Sacramento, California, and Houston did not appear to be directly related, but the cases had several similarities.
Both men were Palestinians born in Iraq and living as refugees in the United States, according to the U.S. Justice Department. And both of them are accused of lying to immigration officials about their alleged ties to terrorist organizations.
Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, 24, of Houston, is charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIS."

I just checked out the Gross national happiness ranking of Sweden, and they don't seem to think they are falling apart.
Obviously you have no idea how Sweden went from a relatively crime free country to the 2nd worst in the entire world for rape rates in a few short years. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3317978/Torn-apart-open-door-migrants-Sweden-seen-Europe-s-liberal-nation-violent-crime-soaring-Far-Right-march-reports-SUE-REID.html Or about the no go zones, 60 minutes tried to do a report there and you can see in your own eyes the police didn't want to go in, the crew get hit by a car and attacked after in a few minutes.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCsEqKjP9p0. You also obviously don't know about the laws passed censoring any criticism of the immigration policy and immigrants even though crime, rape, etc are skyrocketing there. That happiness ranking was probably a number pulled out of someones hinney.

Baltimore police have pulled back. No more stop and frisks, etc. It's racist for them to do their job. It's racist to accept reality. So let's see the results. Murders are doubling, and Baltimore is surging past Detroit for murders. https://www.baltimorebrew.com/2015/08/07/baltimore-surges-past-detroit-in-number-of-homicides-in-2015/ becoming the second most violent city in America. But it's okay, all the innocent children and hundreds of extra murders are worth it because now they can be politically correct and pretend that crime is equal among all groups in the USA and stop doing their job as soon as the number of blacks go past their population percentage of crime vs white in the USA so nobody can accuse them of being racist.
