I'm too lazy to type the thread again, so TL:DR; you can't solve violent crimes if the 99% of Black folk that commit no crimes at all, (and that witness these crimes), are (rightfully!) too afraid to call the cops for any reason.
Read this *whole* thread before asking me any questions about how yes, more cops make the murder rate go up.🙂🙃

And no, this effect isn't just for Black folk. Any group brutalized by police acts the same.
