This is the kind of "policing is racist" kind of propaganda that has San Francisco in it's current "hands off" state. Does anyone prefer that in every city everywhere?

Well to be fair the article points out that the police aren't just racists ... that they are classists, too.

All of these cities could learn something from San Francisco: https://vanlifewanderer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/san_francisco_crime_rate_vs_most_dangerous_cities_us-2.jpg https://vanlifewanderer.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/san_f...

  Can't imagine the cognitive dissonance it takes to link this statistic while pretending there's nothing wrong with crime in SF. Here's the full picture: https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2022/fixing-san-francisco-problems/crime https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2022/fixing-san-francis...

    I didn't say there was nothing wrong with crime in SF. I just shared a link showing (just as your does) that its crime rate is significantly lower than a lot of cities. For some reason a certain segment of the national media and populace is always talking about the San Francisco crime rate but seemingly never covers stories about crime in Phoenix, Charlotte, Denver, Dallas, or Indianapolis.

It's research, are we not allowed to research Police and report on the results? That stance seems anti science to me...

  >Large-scale policing data is vital for detecting inequity in police behavior and policing algorithms. First sentence of the abstract. Activist research.

    So, it's research into a topic you don't think should be researched? Do you have any problems with the methodology or conclusions? Like, science can still be science even if it's pursued in the name of social justice. If they are cooking the books, then that's one thing, but if they are making a hypothesis, gathering data, and evaluating that hypothesis fairly using real data, then it's just science.
