So you've flipped from bad-faith speculation about my intent to, "I believe you’re probably well-intentioned", and from "I believe you’re using discredited research" to, "my issue isn’t with the science," without addressing any of the studies I linked or the consensus they represent. And now you're gaslighting about the post-George Floyd nationwide pullpack in policing: >but how can you list so many studies and still assert something widely untrue like the “de-policed minority communities” To illustrate how wrong you are with just a few examples: * Portland abolished their gun violence unit in 2020 in response to the George Floyd protests. Gun homicides have soared as a result to their highest level in 30 years, mostly in minority communities [0]. * While violent crime soared in Chicago last year, also chiefly in minority communities, arrest rates for violent crime fell. The UChicago crime lab attributes this in part to a "pulling back of proactive policing" [1]. * "In a reversal of plans to divert funding from police to social services, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said Monday that she'll push to reverse planned cuts to the city's police department and seek to quickly hire more officers amid a spike in violence and homicides that has left some residents afraid to leave their homes" [2]. >Maybe you could even make some money and write for them; https://prowhiteparty.wordpress.com/2020/12/17/black-people- https://prowhiteparty.wordpress.com/2020/12/17/black-people-... I'm not interested in race chauvanism, race-based nationalism, or racist politics generally. I support colorblind policy with class-based affirmative action, and the vigorous enforcement of laws against racial discrimination. >I'm not interested in engaging with you further. Good, I'm done responding to your repeated falsehoods and bad-faith accusations. Thanks for revealing your true nature to the reader.
