An Early Warning That Policing May Be in Decline | Police departments across the country are solving far fewer crimes than they did before 2020.

While headlines tend to focus on falling clearance rates in large liberal cities, the decline occurred nationwide in both red and blue cities, counties and states. The violent crime clearance rate, for example, fell considerably between 2019 to 2022 in big cities, which tend to be led by Democrats, as well as in small cities and suburban and rural counties, which tend to be led by Republicans.
That's racist! As a white person I have also been harassed by the police. They are indiscriminate with their discrimination. How dare you make assumptions.
Okay dude, chill. It was meant as a joke.
It was a joke because you put light to it and they didn't like the shadow it cast. Had there been no shadow, no light, there would be no remorse.
What? I absolutely was joking. You should really take people at their word until they prove otherwise dude.
Don't even fucking try... even in Brazil, where racism is a bit less rampant than the US, I've had police officers calmly ask me to not walk on the same walkway as the people they were about to search - I'm white, they weren't.
