no, noah, what it is is inconvenient for your position. there is no route to actually addressing crime which does not pass through the total destruction of the utterly rapacious culture of american policing.

That's wrong. Police are pretty shitty in a lot of places now, but they already actually address a lot of crime too. They're a deeply flawed institutions, and their culture does need to change, but my position is the right one.

noah, the nypd openly threatened the life of the mayor's daughter last summer, after which he backed down. no one was punished.

When you get like this, you start saying things that aren't true, and then defend those things with other untrue statements, because you're emotionally committed to this rhetoric in a way that doesn't admit reasoned argument.

They don't share the same view; if you asked them whether Theo's false statement is true, they would agree that it is in fact false.

If you're equivocating on aligning with antipolice politics over the semantic difference between "all police are literally the klan" and "white supremacist culture has infiltrated america's police departments" I would suggest that you are missing the forest for the trees

Not at all, Drew. The point is that when there are hate crimes like the ones we've been seeing, you should absolutely still call the police, even if you are worried about white supremacists infiltrating police departments.

If you did a nationwide survey of a million people on their level of comfort calling the police after a crime in their neighborhood, what do you think the race crosstabs would look like? I suspect many black and brown people do not share your trust in the police, for good reason
