[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I take from this is that there are a lot of white people who are all scared because immigrants are piling into houses in Eastern MoCo and now account for about 50% of the school populations in the DCC.  These white people are only scared because the Hispanics don't look like them.  Also, the police are "biased" (aka racist) so you can't believe what they say about neighborhood safety.  I think I understand now, thanks.[/quote]

I hear your sarcasm. But I happen to agree with the first two sentences -- it's inadvertently a good summary of the discussion. I don't think the third sentence is necessarily true or relevant. I think if you asked a police officer "should I pull my kids out of school or move out of the area because of isolated gang incidents," they would say no, that's nuts. The police also talk a lot about the opioid crisis, but I don't see people freaking out about its impact in their schools and communities though it is a massively larger issue. It's just mostly an issue for white people, so people are not as threatened by it.[/quote]
