You've got a tumour and 3 weeks to live without surgery, and you're over there sobbing hysterically to the doctor about the scrape on your knee.
What were the 2020 mass riots about? Thousands of dead black children, or the dozen or so (iirc it was fewer) unarmed black men killed in police encounters? It's the old "don't watch what they say, watch what they do".
black people want the state of the ghetto addressed too, thus the strawman.
you're watching LibsofTikTok videos of an idiotic person who has never stepped foot in the hood asking for all police to be removed from black neighborhoods and applying it to people who actually live there. the problem is it's not a simple solution of just increased police presence. even when Giuliani cracked down and ridded time square of gang crime all he did was displace the gang activity.
solving gang violence is a multi trillion dollar issue, and it will take a LONG time. putting cameras on cops was met with "thats too expensive", and a few years later it was nationwide. increased training in holds and restrictions by departments costs pennies compared to even investigating, arresting, and prosecuting one small gang.
math seems very hard for you side, you're angry people are being pragmatic and understand how money and political action works.
