YouTube - Heather Mac Donald: The Truth about Crime, Race, and Policing in America

This is a long video (about 40 minutes), and she can be a bit dry, but she dismantles every talking point the current Anti-Police movement has. It is hard to deal in stats and figures without being dry. However, this is a well thought-out presentation of facts, not feelings and emotions.

Watch if you have time and/or you're interested in the truth of the matter.

Heather Mac Donald:

I mean, technically every thread is a WYHI thread, but this one doesn't even rank. So....not a WYHI thread.

Her profile checks all the boxes that will cause the people who should listen to her to completely ignore her.

This is my new intellectual girlfriend.

She's an absolute beast...well worth going down a rabbit hole finding her videos. She did a ton of press a year or so ago for her book The Diversity Delusion. Stopped places like Shapiro and Rubin, etc. The book is fantastic so far as well...though it'll just make you angry reading it.

Also has a book out a few years ago called The War on Cops.

Of course. But facts are facts, and stats are stats.

In the video she states that two authors of legitimate studies asked her not to use their studies because they do not match up with the current narrative. Nevermind that the authors still maintain that the studies are valid and have not pulled them.
