What gang does more damage?

Over the past few weeks, law enforcement agencies have made a concerted effort to arrest the most violent individuals who are involved in gangs. The crimes that these individuals have committed warrants them being taken off the streets and possibly locked up for life. However, are they the only gangs that are committing crimes? It can be argued that corporate America is the most destructive and violent gang imaginable. Let's compare the two groups. Urban gangs maintain their status via intimidation. Corporate America maintains its status by setting outlandish prices for oil, gas, electricity, healthcare and food. Which one intimidates you more? Urban gangs sell illegal drugs to fund their activities. Corporate America funds many of these foreign countries that grow, manufacture and export drugs to the United States. Which one intimidates you more? Are we locking up the right gang members?

Good ole Philly beating

The Philadelphia police officers involved in the recent highly publicized suspect beating will soon face the scrutiny of their department. However, the real questions is, should they? Given the circumstances that the City of Philadelphia is going through, highest murder rate in the country, did the police officers cross the line?The suspects in this matter were observed shooting at civilians just moments before they were stopped. The aftermath is what is being called into question. What is not being said is that earlier in the week, a Philadelphia police officer was killed in the line of duty attempting to apprehend a bank robber. Of course, the police officer's emotions were running high, but does this excuse their behavior? Should we give the police officers a pass? You be the judge.
