What does aggressive policing mean? There are a lot of cops out, checking into things, or they beat people up?

they're everywhere. on the few times I've had to call a cop they've arrived in less than 2 minutes because they're always close. and they are always around the border with the poorer towns next to us. drive in from that direction and fit the profile of your typical gang banger from those towns and all ya gotta do is speed st a little bit or have a broken light and boom, yer pulled over.

It means arrest all the black or brown people you see.

Edited to add - it also means hassle the white folks who look poor or "trying to be" black or brown.

I have heard that in Detroit you can buy a home for less than $800. Not "per month", less than $800 final cash price.

Good news for the increasing number of people living in poverty hoping for change. Now up to 13%...good news for Democrats, yes?

What town with a population above 50,000 doesn't have gangs?

I don't see a lot of "gangs" in Manhattan. Gangs of stock brokers, maybe

My town is half white, half black and brown. Our police force reflects that diversity. And yet, they manage to profile in a way that isn't just about arresting all the black and brown people they see.

Chinatown is gangland.

Not all of them. Just the ones that look like they're on BET.

Chinatown is gangland.

Yet it's one of the safest neighborhoods around.

Who cares? Albuquerque has gangs and is a ######-hole because of it.

Los Alamos and Santa Fe are both nicer towns but are much more expensive.
