My guess is the insane amount of black-on-black violence could be solved by more policing, not less.https://twitter.com/Noahpinion/status/1050834238537314304 …

2 problems: Black Lives Matter will not acknowledge this massive b-on-b murder rate and instead foment grievances. Therefore, police retreat into "we'll show up when they're dead" mentality. I see this in Canada with Indigenous population.

To see how crime can be successfully reduced, look to the amazing crime drops in cities like NYC, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Miami.

All achieved by - as you say - better policing. Point to you, and accepted. Have you read "Ghettoside," by Ms Leovy? Profile of very good policing undermined by a culture of retribution, i.e., gangs. And what was Spike Lee's second last film about?

Yep, haven't read it, but I'm familiar with it (and with the general idea of honor culture and its replacement by state protection). I really think that's the key - when citizens trust the cops to protect them, it breaks the cycle.
-
And I get that. But if we keep running into this faux Marxist ideology, and selective meaning generation efforts from the so called "left," the trusting the cops won't happen. Distrust of the police is the engine room of distrust, and it's just not as bad as it seems.

That guy is not from the U.S., Doesn't know whether White on Black crime is equal or less than...or if White on White crime is greater than.

The stats are very accessible. LAst year 8,000 black men lost their lives to murder, black on black. Total number of black men lynched throughout American history? 4,000. Draw conclusions.

More cops on the street won’t scare criminals?
