Reply to comment by bigtimephonk in Oakland Cops Hope to Arm Robots With Lethal Shotguns by mossadnik

Oakland total violent crimes 2021: 1,273 US School shootings since forever: 209

Oakland murders since 1992: 2,655 All US school shooting since forever: 210

I'd say inner city violence is a bigger priority. More children die from that than school shootings.

Unless all those violent crimes are murder or attempted murder, this comparison is pointless.

No it's not useless. Violent crimes.

But since you want numbers to numbers Oakland since 1992: 2,655 vs 210

He’s saying it’s a false equivalence because it’s not directly comparable and you know that. Violent crime is purposefully vague to fit your argument’s criteria which has little real world value.

I gave murder stats and violent crime stats.

For a city filled with crime and murder, yall sure do like to bitch about cops. ACAB amirite?

If cops with guns can't stop crime what are robots with guns going to do? Nothing, bro. Not a damn thing. Cops don't prevent crime. They don't stop crime. They don't solve crimes. Robots won't either. Eliminate poverty to eliminate crime.

Well that's a new one. I notice the common theme here is crime. Have you asked criminals to not do criminal shit?

No but comparing school shooting to city crime is ridiculous. Someone had to pull the stats.

Besides I'm in the Bay, I'll talk about it.
