I tend to turn to this article and the studies cited when discussing police as crime deterrent. What evidence is driving your ideas on the subject?

I’m not saying police aren’t a crime deterrent, and I don’t support the idea of defunding or vilifying the police as a whole. I do support common-sense reforms to reduce the use of force and make police more accountable, though. I’m saying that it takes a very sick and twisted state of mind to commit violence towards the elderly like this, and it isn’t “normal” crime. It takes real hatred and rage to do something like this.
