[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everybody wants less crime.  Lots of people are afraid to call the police because they are worried the police will show up and shoot someone.  This is on the police.

Only idiots think fewer police officers is the answer. [/quote]

Your child has been slashed to death by a maniac who is hiding in your apartment and you don’t cal the police because you care more about the murderer than your child? [/quote]

Are you stupid or just trolling?

If (and that's a HUGE if) your ridiculous made up straw man situation were to happen, they wouldn't hesitate to call the police "because they care more about the murderer than their child," they would hesitate to call the police because they're afraid the cops will show up and shoot THEM instead of the murderer because to many cops "hey black person = murderer, right?"

And the actual scenarios where black people don't want to call the police is not when they're hiding in a closet from a serial killer, it's when some stranger is banging on their door at 3am. Are they actually trying to come in and rob you or are they drunk and lost and calling the police creates a very real risk of the police shooting them?  It's when you see someone walking through your neighborhood with an Amazon package under their arm. Is it a package thief or are you about to ruin some poor black man's life who is just walking home from the Amazon locker at 7-11?
