re: I’m ashamed that we let our police be treated like this

CNN went live into iirc either Minneapolis or Chicago to the black neighborhoods and started surveying people. They OVERWHELMINGLY were against defunding the police and many actually wanted more. You could tell it was awkward when the "panel" afterwards were discussing about it.

In my city, which is around 54% black, iirc, the percentages of people calling the police and filing police reports are around 70 something % black. They definitely call the police quite a bit. I see police everyday at work rescuing and doing first aid on minorities.

These folks harrassing those officers are no different than the white liberals. Come from gated communities, suburbs, no crime areas, but wanna defund the police and take away from actual black folks and whites, hispanic, in high crime areas.
