I'm reminded of college in Hyde Park: the older black people wanted the UCPD in the neighborhood because they saw it as a force of stability, while young white students who wouldn't be affected by shrinking the patrol area criticized it.
- karmonhardan 2y agoThis leaves out the perspective of the young black people who would have been the disproportionate target of police interactions. Unfortunately, moderation within a biased status quo doesn't achieve the goal of eliminating the bias. Those seeking a radical change can't reasonably be faulted for using radical rhetoric, only for wanting to change something that's "working."
