I live in the actual city, so I see this violence first hand, and this is where cops excel. I have officers in my family and I've even done a few shift rides, which are super fucking fun. I think what bothers me most about suburban people is that they think the entire city is a battleground with stray bullets flying everywhere. They also don't really understand what defunding the police really means. Police are used as resources that other types of professionals can fill. Police overtime eats up city budgets, and they can pull police away from essential duties such as catching violent criminals. Although some cops are racist, the vast majority are not, they just operate in a system designed to be racist. This is why people are in the streets, they want policy change and corrective action. Throwing more police at the problem will only exacerbate it. If you look at police tactics since the 60's and up with crime stats and how they are utilized and politicized, and add poor black neighborhoods to the mix, and how bad cops want to police "beyond the ticket" I think you would see we need an adjustment. It's not the end of the world. I also think police officers should be required to have more education then they do, even if the government would foot the bill. I also support high salaries for policemen because they do a difficult job, and it also deters the entrepreneurialism found in lesser developed countries with poorly paid police forces. I think its saved us from a culture of bakshi.

See no, the system is not designed to be racist anymore. Maybe in the 50's it was, but it's 2020 now. Cops get called by people living in those neighborhoods who are being victimized, they don't just randomly appear, they respond to 911 calls and reports. Likewise they may patrol the same neighborhoods where the most violent crime reports originate. This makes complete sense. I have cops in my family as well which is why I sperg out on this so much, but there's just no fair deal for them right now. If they act they get shit on, if they don't act they get shit on. Meanwhile the left says you shouldn't "generalize" about people, as they generalize about people hard as fuck and engage in reprehensibly violent behavior against people they don't know anything about who have wives and families.
