re: Study Finds Police are Responsible for Poor Life Decisions

People living in those communities are more likely to come into contact with police because the one living in that community make poor and illegal decisions.

How can their be crime, if cops don't exist???

This study is so stupid I actually thought it was a Babylon Bee article.

I thought maybe OP was misrepresenting the article, so I read the press release link. Nope.

Then I thought, maybe the press release didn't go into detail about how the authors controlled for such an obvious fallacy. So I read the article itself.




That shouldn't even be given a passing grade in an undergraduate class, much less published in a peer reviewed publication.

What absolute garbage.

LOL Sound like a new angle on defund the police. So lets remove the cops from high crime areas and that will improve the area immediately.

Maybe , I’m spitballing here so bare with me, but I’m thinking that the neighborhoods in question are so ripe with crime , lower earners ( by choice) and systematically uneducated people that so little desire to do better that the police are then needed ( not wanted) to prevent the few innocent people from being harmed . I could be wrong but I wholeheartedly doubt it
