First, decades of chronic underpolicing (punctuated by vicious pogroms by state and nominally non-state actors), replaced by overpolicing of “crimes” of addiction and people who gained access to the literal tons of outside-the-law capital pumped in by the CIA as cocaine.
And not even replaced bc the solve rate for crimes with black victims still lags WAAAAAAY behind that of white victims, and not just bc “no snitching” (and in large part bc police do not protect informants).
AND all the while the police themselves murder us with impunity. You could not engineer a situation for people to distrust and hate the police more if you were actually trying. I have no idea how the US criminal justice system will dig itself out of this hole...
Or really, even if it should. Maybe it’s for the best that black communities do their utmost to exist in minimal contact with the legal justice system (which is really what “no snitching” is about) until that justice system takes a radically different, perhaps post-carceral form.
