You say as you show data with a decrease in violent crime since the 90s and the headline that 2019 was another historic drop in violent crime. Lots of evidence, none even the data you site supporting even more brutality.

Yeah I get it, you don't have any interest in data, science or peer review, but even your data shows, a brutal police state and record wealth disparity do lead to crime, as evidence shows pro incarceration das masks things much worse. Were safer compared to the cities around us.

I really do hope you learn more, and I have above happily provided multiple scientifically rigorous peer reviewed studies proving instances of where decreases in police state brutality caused decreases in crime.https://twitter.com/equalityAlec/status/1394697951868604416?s=19 …

Alec KarakatsanisVerified account @equalityAlecReplying to @equalityAlec @SusanDReynolds and 6 othersThere is a virtual scientific consensus that increasing incarceration has nothing to do with safety. When you make comments like this, you only get more resources for cops, and more violence in poor communities and communities of color. I hope you'll learn more.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes

If you actually care about the data here is a scientific peer reviewed systematic review of papers in the space. But providing only data that proves my point, with no relevant papers or scientific articles or peer review, go off I guess?https://twitter.com/julianbuchanan/status/1407510229764370434?s=19 …
