>It’s a fantasy that the solution to high crime areas is tougher policing.
I didn't argue that. I said that tough policing is a natural result of high crime areas because cops are humans and are affected by the environment they are in. I read an article about Facebook and YouTube content reviewers getting PTSD after only a few weeks of work looking at despicable images.
Imagine being a cop with decades of experience policing one of the most violent cities on the world, seeing what the worst of humanity does to innocent people, knowing that the next stop may be your last. My point is: there are limits to what you can do with policing in such an environment.
Sure .. get rid of all the bad cops you want. File any lawsuits to protect rights of criminals you want. None of that will make the crime go down and safeguard the community.

- valuearb 6y agoImagine being a cop trying to do your best to treat honest citizens fairly and honestly, and show them that you are there to protect them, and need their help and cooperation to find criminals. Then another cop goes into your neighborhood best, and starts threatening, intimidating, and even assaulting and falsely arresting honest citizens for filming, spectating, not producing ID, or just looking like a suspect they are after. How easy is your job now? Those residents know who the drug dealers and actual criminals are. Your perspective is like saying the US didn’t need Vietnamese villagers help to fight the NVA. I guess we must have won there didn’t we? Lastly Dirty Harry, they aren’t criminals rights, they are our rights.
