OK, let me ask you a question.

If the police feels too intimidated to get out of their cars and
confront criminals, in black neighborhoods, would that be good or bad
for the residents of those neighborhoods?


Bad.


Would that save black lives?


No, it would probably end up in more lives lost (when the criminals
knew they would always get away with the crimes. But it would switch
deaths from the criminals (killed by cops) to the neighbors (killed by
the criminals). That's a bad thing, too.


On the other hand..it would also increase criminals killed by
victims..which we are seeing now. Florida in fact was one of the early
indicators. Victims were killing criminals in such numbers that
crooks had to start watching for tourists , who were mostly unarmed.


Florida has the highest concealed carry numbers of all the states.
But I still think that there would be more crime if the cops stopped
patrolling bad areas. Poor folks can't afford guns. (They can't
afford not to own/train, either. sigh)

This is also of interest to some....fascinating how crooked cops are
in some places....

That just sucks. The LAPD burglarized his house!
