Because, as you know because it's been explained to you multiple times, anti-violence programs take multiple forms, Some are short term interventions and others are longer term solutions. Philly's anti-violence program is brand new and has barely had any time to show results, but you were calling it a failure from the start.

I guess it doesn't matter if the streets are red with blood if there aren't any potholes. But don't forget that when the city reengineers the roads to make them safer your just complain about that causing congestions.

>Philly can't even get the buses to run on time

Philly doesn't run SEPTA, you should know this.

>A model that hasn't been proven to do what it purports to do anywhere else?

Anti violence intervention works, the fact that you keep saying it doesn't doesn't change that.

For someone who almost exclusively posts about crime your sure do love to shit on attempts to reduce it.

No they aren't.

>A government worker can't ever replace a parent.

Nobody is suggesting they should except for your disingenuous strawman.

>We'd be better off spending this $200 million on things that actually improve people's lives.

Sure, let's take it out of the corrupt PPD's budget.

>Bad parenting is the root cause of a lot of our problems in society.

Sure, just gloss over systematic poverty and generational overincarceration for non-violent drug offenses..

Blaming parents isn't a solution. You offer no tangible solution to stop the violence that's happening NOW. All you do it try to assign blame and you even do that badly. Blaming people is not a solution.

The law doesn't say these cars can't be pulled over, it just says that can't be the only reason for the traffic stop. It's because the cops were using these as excuses to selectively target and harass minority drivers.
