    Considering the high crime rates prevailing in Black communities across this country one must ask themselves what is law enforcement to do? Law enforcement operate on what is called Modus Operandi (M.O.), or {The expression is often used in police work when discussing a crime and addressing the methods employed by the perpetrators. It is also used in criminal profiling,[2] where it can help in finding clues to the offender's psychology.[3] It largely consists of examining the actions used by the individual(s) to execute the crime, prevent its detection and/or facilitate escape.[1], from Wikipedia}. Profiling is a science used to solve crimes. I'm not a police officer, but We as a People must look at our condition realistically within the context of the violent and criminal environment our communities are held hostage to. Most of our young Black males dress in the same manner, share the same driving mannerism...leaning to the right, with the back of the seat resting on the rear, at the same time the music is blasting, spinners spinning costing more than the value of the car. Besides all these similarities the criminals perpetrating crimes, whatever they may be are Black youth too. I teach my boys to be aware of the degenerate and lawless elements in our community and when you are pulled over by law enforcement officers, they must take a defensive posture in every traffic stop for their safety and other law abiding citizens in the area, because they want to go home at the end of the day, also. We as a community should be more concerned about ridding our community of the criminal element next door that is the M.O. STOP THE BLAME GAME BLACKMAN and TAKE CONTROL of YOURSELF, FAMILY, AND COMMUNITY.

    Blackmen in action demanding responsible law-enforcement.
