But when policing is reduced in these communities, the crime rate skyrockets. There's a much deeper problem that isn't being addressed by "defund the police".

Indeed, that's why disproportionate targeting still exists. We've forgotten that the police policy that BLM objects to now was supported not long ago by Democrats and black community leaders, because crime was a major problem, but now we're starting to remember.
- yetihehe 5y agoYes, that's why police should be retrained/reformed and better funded, but it is not considered an option, currently it's either more (bad) policing or less (bad) policing, not better policing. Everyone sees the problem, but doesn't want harder good solution, only easier bad solution.
