Hope this idiot liberal WHITE boy gets his Karma. The blood is on his hands.
Why has the murder rate in some US cities suddenly spiked?

Murder and violent crime rates have risen in multiple US cities since the beginning of 2015, after falling for two decades. Some have put this down to a so-called Ferguson effect, referring to the protests against perceived police brutality, that sometimes became violent. Could that be true?
What do the statistics say?
There are no national figures on crime in the US available yet for 2015, but some cities have released their own figures.
In New York City, the murder rate has gone up by 20% in 2015 compared with the first few months of 2014. Mayor Bill de Blasio called a special news conference at which he acknowledged the increase, but said it could be contained. He said he had faith in the New York Police Department that they will "turn the tide".
In other cities, there are similar increases reported. In Baltimore, murders are up 37% and in Los Angeles, violent crime is up by 27% (although murders are down 2%). In Houston, murders are up nearly 50% so far this year.
What is the Ferguson effect?
This is a term coined by St Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson, whose police officers had been one of the forces dealing with the summer protests and riots in Ferguson, Missouri, following the fatal shooting of black teenager Michael Brown.
He said in November his police officers had been drawing back from everyday enforcement due to fears they could be charged. As a result, he said, the "criminal element is feeling empowered".
The phrase was repeated recently by Heather MacDonald, a fellow at the US Manhattan Institute, in a piece for the Wall Street Journal.
The Ferguson effect, she said, was taking hold across the country "under the onslaught of anti-cop rhetoric".
Multiple police officers Ms MacDonald spoke to told her police morale is at an all-time low and they are now worried about being charged, recorded and assaulted while trying to do their jobs and keep communities safe.
"Unless the demonisation of law enforcement ends, the liberating gains in urban safety will be lost," she wrote.
Baltimore's police boss, Anthony Batts, said the riots had another effect on crime. Scores of pharmacies had been looted and the surge in the supply of drugs has "thrown off the balance" between gangs in the city, he said.
"There's enough narcotics on the streets of Baltimore to keep it intoxicated for a year," he said.
What about other reasons?
The Ferguson effect is an unlikely reason, said Jeffery Ulmer, associate head of the Department of Sociology and Criminology at Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania.
"Is it possible that somehow high-profile police shootings have angered some local populations and caused a rise in violent crime of all kinds in the last few months? Yes. Do I find that scenario likely nationwide? No, not at all."
More likely, he said, is that local forces are at play.
Violent crime rates are often in response to major changes in policing, but are mostly driven by social factors such as the size of the youth population, the amount of socioeconomic disadvantage and social disorganisation in a given city.
Violent crime being up in NYC is related to the decrease in "stop and frisk", said Alfred Blumstein, a criminologist at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The New York City Police Department's historical main tactic for stopping people has significantly decreased after the way it was exercised was deemed unconstitutional.
"Inevitably, there was a trade off," said Mr Blumstein. "[Stop and Frisk] was certainly a deterrent effect to carrying a gun in the street."
New York City's historic drop in crime since the 1980s is "astonishing", said Mr Blumstein, but continuing downward trends cannot go on forever.
Mayor de Blasio said summer was also to blame - last year saw an uptick in crime at the end of spring and beginning of summer for New York City as well. Researchers from the University of North Carolina found a correlation between higher temperatures and violent crime rates in a 2004 study.
Could the increase be just a blip?
Violent crime is not going up everywhere. Philadelphia has seen a 41% decrease in murders since 2007.
Short-term spikes are statistically unreliable, especially if they come after a long-term decline, and could just be a blip, said Dr James Alan Fox, a criminologist at Northeastern University in Boston.
"It's a ridiculous silly game of focusing too much on too little, trying to ascribe it to something like the impact of [events in] Ferguson," said Mr Fox. "None of these statistics are reliable."
A wider window of statistics would be much more reliable than a handful of figures representing January to May of this year, he said.
That flattened feeling police officers are having in Baltimore? It will pass, Dr Fox said.
"I don't want to minimise the tragedy of so many dying... but the sky is not falling," he said.
Anthony Reuben, head of statistics, BBC News:
Some of the rises in violent crime so far this year are indeed striking, but I understand there have been similarly impressive falls in other cities.
It is usually a mistake to declare a trend based on a few months of figures for a handful of cities. It is also difficult to blame this selection of figures on a nationwide problem with US policing, or anything else for that matter.
I'm sure the relevant police departments are looking at these figures very carefully, but we will need considerably more data over a longer period to be able to draw any meaningful conclusions.

What makes it better is both these people are "fighting for the black cause" saying "they're" victims of oppression and racism. And they're white.

Shot and killed in Ferguson.

A nine-year-old girl has been shot dead in Missouri as she lay doing her homework on her mom’s bed.

Jamyla Bolden, of Ferguson, was killed on Tuesday after a gunman opened fire on the family’s home.

Her father, James Bolden, issued a heart-breaking plea for anyone with information to come forward, as police have released no information about possible leads and no arrests have yet been made.

‘Don’t just do it for me. Do it for her. Do it for a nine-year-old child that didn’t even get to see the rest of the world,’ he told local news channel KMOV.

‘I never in a million years thought that I’d be laying my daughter to rest.’

Police believe the shooter fired from close range into the house, also wounding Jamyla’s 34-year-old mother in the leg.

It is believed the gunman stood close to the front of the house before opening fire through the bedroom window.

There were five bullet holes on the outside of the house, including three in the screens of two windows and two more in the house’s aluminium siding.

The mother was taken to hospital where she was treated and released.

Jamyla’s grandmother was the first to reach the little girl following the attack, at 9.30pm Tuesday night.

Ferguson will pretend to care for 5 minutes.

But the activist are afraid to have this change the conversation from racism and targeted police brutality. Even though, this is the big, enormously humongous elephant in the room of blm.

As the blm movement and black communities erupt when one thug who robbed, assaulted, resisted, and battered victims in his last minutes gets killed.

But are strangely silent when this happens. And it happens every single day somewhere in America.

And it has nothing to do with white privilege, or being poor.

Now he has answered one looming question, at last. His defense until today appeared to be: my mother slept around, and never told me who my father was, and I still don’t know who he is but I’m sure he must have been black because I have always “felt” black and always enjoyed the company of black people.

Is his parents still alive? Surely they'll eventually defend themselves.

Look at his kid pictures. He's white. No doubt about it.
