But I just pointed out there's no evidence that policies are in effect. Your provided study is alarming but not at all supporting the specific language of your claim. Potentially the intention, but not the language.
- throwaway894345 5y agoMy claim was about a combination of policies, pressure, and loss of trust, not policies alone. I don't purport to know the coefficients, but the cited studies do support my claim. I suspect the most damaging policies are unofficial--top down pressure from politicians to avoid an embarrassing incident and district attorneys who don't prosecute (why should officers risk a confrontation with a dangerous criminal if they can't trust prosecutors to keep them off the streets?).
