Facts.

The data that I share (constantly) about what really reduces crime, and what increases crime, are covered in this video.

Also, the disingenuous framing of "Black people want more cops!" No they don't. Black people want *less crime and more safety*. More police violence doesn't achieve that.

@dossdiscourse.bsky.social explains more cops doesn’t lower crime it just means more money for private prisons— Addressing poverty/hunger/health care lowers crime… but Trump’s trillions transfer just made all that MUCH WORSE… meaning crime will rise.
