Adding police is like using sprawl to solve the public housing problem. It makes more things worse than it makes better. Solve the same problem a different way.

My guess from the available evidence (predictors of improper use of force on an officer level, results of community policing grants) is that hiring more police officers *decreases* the number of improper use of force incidents rather than decreases them.

Generally most public services get better when you give them more money and any path to decreasing police violence is going to involve spending more money rather than less money.

well, the real problem is that most police are MAGA. That's something that is very hard to address under the Constitution or labor law. In reality, "defund" police is another way of saying "let people likelier to be liberals handle problems in cities in a more liberal way."

Please educate me-what's the "liberal way" of handling a permanent feral underclass with an average IQ of 80, a propensity for violence and zero employability?

Of course, but that's not an answer. I'm genuinely curious. Lay it out, David, for the children reading this-don't you care about the children?

His answer is to pretend that such a thing is an impossibility.

My answer is that you are racist idiots, and every one of your postulates about race, crime, IQ, etc, is wrong.

Well good thing "idiot" is an empty accusation because intelligence is completely ineffable and can't be measured or observed in any way.

The funniest thing is, I didn't mention race at all.
