11. Were bombings of Coventry & Dresden examples of white-on-white war crimes? Why race relevant sometimes & not others?

12. And if we stipulate that black-on-black crime is the problem, how does that absolve cops in Ferguson? Are they the solution to problem?

@HeerJeet@tanehisicoates I guess “black-on-black” was orig. used same as “self-inflicted.” All crime is bad, hurting yourself is worse.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@HeerJeet Acting like its doesnt exist doesnt help! How can we fix issues if we call them myths? -
@QuietWarriorATL We're not saying crime doesn't exist, rather questioning what's the best analytical framework for understanding it.
