Considering the ongoing discussion here, I think this is a cool podcast from Citations Needed that looks at the fearmongering being pushed right now. Take decades of violent crime decreases, protests against overpolicing and tough on crime tactics, then throw in a globally destabilizing pandemic...and you have an easy recipe for cops to start selling baseless conclusions about causes and solutions.

No, I’m not wrong

I was the one stating that Covid led to an increase in murders.

police taking a step back is apart of it but it’s also hard to measure


let @King Kreole tell it

nikkas wouldn’t be shooting if they had basketball courts and social workers



you kind of taking both sides of the argument

crime has been on a steady decrease since the mid 90s so “tough on crime” as you call it did work

the defund crowd loves to pretend like their aren’t social workers, after school programs and resources being poured in.

none of that has to do with people committing crimes now. Those people need to be policed
But doesnt the decrease also correlate with the decrease in lead use? There will always be those who need to be policed but I believe the overwhelming majority of people and crime can be addressed through early intervention measures such as better and adequate funding for social programs, addressing social inequity and systemic racism. After that we could hopefully identify the people who just seem unreachable and start figuring out how to address them.

Why are you terminally online folks so focused on Clyburn? His opinion on whether Breyer should retire is relatively unimportant.
Bill Clinton paused a eulogy to thank Clyburn for getting Bernie out the paint. Is Bill Clinton terminally online?
