Or math. Or reality. Magical thinking is just making claims like you did with no evidence. Simple models made by the servants of the rich don’t predict real world outcomes.
It’s no different than when politicians pass a law that the police union doesn’t like, and crime goes up. Look! Proof that the law was bad. It’s remarkable that anyone would say otherwise. Of course it has nothing to do with the fact that the police just stop doing their job until they get the law changed.
- mmooss 2y ago> the police just stop doing their job Is there evidence of that, that you know of?
- mint2 2y agoCalifornia and in particular SF, there’s been substantial reporting on police inaction. It’s been improving but for a while there were regular stories or police watching people do felonies and not bothering to do a single thing.
- derektank 2y agoI can't speak for every situation but it's worth keeping in mind that police inaction can be a result of specific policies placed on police departments by the city or state. For example, up until recently, San Francisco only allowed officers to engage in vehicle pursuits in the case of violent felonies and Governor Newsom is still asking Oakland to amend their own No Chase restrictions. If elected officials tell cops not to engage in certain policing actions, I would hope that law enforcement officers would hew to those rules pretty closely
