You're distorting what I said.
As regards these protests I believe that they will probably only make things worse. Black areas are where the most crime occurs so there is going to be more police activity in those areas. The protests encourage a feeling amount black people that the police are the enemy and that if you're stopped it's always only because you're black. On the police side this means that the typical interaction with a black person will be more difficult on average, leading to a perception on their side that black people are trouble. Put the two together and you have a greater potential for someone to get hurt.
- adamsea 6y agoI think lots of white collar crime occurs in “white neighborhoods”; it’s just not a priority for law enforcement.
- stormdennis 6y agoWhy aren't the victims of white collar crime in these white neighborhoods out protesting in the streets about the lack of police help, if what you say is true?
- jessaustin 6y agoMan, nobody in USA wants police around shooting their dogs and kids. Very few of us are wealthy enough to have any control over what police do. Police in USA are like regular expressions.
- AnthonyMouse 6y ago"White collar crime" means things like fraud and embezzlement. It overwhelmingly happens over the phone or the internet or in corporate offices, not in residential areas.
- adamsea 6y agoYeah but the financial irregularities and crimes around events like the '08 crash are, I'd think, much bigger, in terms of dollars, than those other things?
