OPERATION TRIDENT.. Not working why ,life cheap in the black community ? .WHY!!?

Answer 1

It is the elders in the black community that needs to take the lead. They need to face reality and realise the community is ignoring the youngster...fatherless families..no male role model. Time to take responsibilty.

No ones life is cheap.

The blacks cannot expect the others to take the lead in their problems...Time to work fast b4 it gets worse. There are mothers living in constant fear for their childern. Black leaders need get the youngster out of the vicious gangster mentality.

Answer 2

Low aspirations in the afro-caribbean culture coupled with a perception that conventional achievement (ie working hard at school) is not cool lead many in that community to a situation where they feel that the only option is to turn to crime. A lack of male role models and/or absent fathers also contribute. Idiotic gangster rap and gangs seem to offer a glamorous lifestyle with which guns go hand in hand and where little or no work is required to make money from illicit sources.
Furthermore the punishments on offer from the justice system offers no deterrent and the perception that gangs and individuals are above the law. They laugh at the police.
What makes it harder for the police is that the media portray them to be anti-black and therefore there is an inherent mistrust of the police in the black community which, when witnesses will not come forward, makes bringing these killers to justice very difficult.
Please don't post saying this is racist - it isn't.

Answer 3

I don't work in the big smoke but can see in the cities I work that kids are being sucked in at a young age.

It also seems to be the ethnic minority groups, particularly black African / Carribean males. Most of the younger generation are tuned into the rap artists, most of which are lyrically talking about drugs, guns, the police, and death. The image being portrayed is that its cool to carry a gun. Its also cool for them to be in a gang and have a street name. They get suckered into dealing drugs for the quick and easy money.

Different gangs resent the others and clash, particulary when it comes to dealing drugs. The weapon of choice is the handgun. Its easy to conceal and deadly. Shootings are commonplace. Life is cheap because they choose it to be that way.

Its difficult to tackle due to the massive numbers involved. They don't always carry weapons and the community are afraid to say anything for fear of reprisals.

We need to attack this from a number of different fronts, like educating the kids. We also need to be more proactive targetting the main players and the sentences need to reflect the crimes.

Answer 4

Single parents and too few role models, even fewer hopes. Schools and police bound by political correctness to punish young offenders. It will get far worse especially with rampant immigration.

EDIT : To the above Operation Trident is the specific London Met police force that target black on black crime.

Answer 5

Operation Trident is reactive as opposed to pro-active, and doesn't address the causes of gun crime. That sort of initiative has to come from the Government and will take a generation to take effect

Answer 6

Trident is a metro police operation. I don't understand what that has to do with your remark about the black community - which I find to be racist. Also why are you asking it in the military section.
